Auckland, pregnant women sleeping position can sometimes affect the condition of the fetus. The study suggests pregnant women to sleep on their left sides to prevent stillbirth.
A study conducted in New Zealand revealed that pregnant women sleeping position is tilted to the left during the final trimester may help avoid the risk of stillbirth (stillbirth).
"The flow of blood to the baby becomes limited when the mother slept in the supine position or tilted to the right for a long time. It is possible to explain the relationship," explained Tomasina Stacey from the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Auckland.
According to researchers, pregnant women who slept with a tilt to the left will help blood flow to the baby because the mother's main blood vessels are not blocked uterine weight.
"There are many factors associated with stillbirth, including obesity, increased maternal age, ethnicity, congenital anomalies and placental conditions. Most of the unexplained," said Daghni Rajasingam of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, as reported by Indiavision, Thursday (14 / 7 / 2011).
In this study the research team interviewed 155 women who delivered babies at Auckland died between July 2006-June 2009 when at least 28 weeks gestation, compared with a control group of 310 mothers who are pregnant.
"Small-scale study looked at other factors that may occur. However, more research is needed before drawing conclusions sleeping position where the most good. If pregnant women are concerned, you should consult with a midwife or obstetrician," added Rajasingam.
