Specialists from the University of Auckland do not recommend women in the last trimester of pregnancy to lie on their backs, since this situation during sleep or rest negatively affects the health of the fetus.

Scientists have conducted a study in which several dozens of healthy women who are 7-9 months pregnant. Participants were asked to lie down for half an hour in different poses.



It turned out that women at this time, spending a lot of time in a supine position on the back, increases the risk of stillbirth.

Such a position of the future mother, as experts explain, affects the change in the fetal heart rate and the decrease in the amount of oxygen entering the blood.

In connection with these doctors advise pregnant women during the third trimester to sleep on the left side.
