Got this from Facebook (Ask the pediatrician) This may help someone #ATGSleeping, Theme: Sleeping Positions In Pregnancy #Overview Pregnancy is a heavy burden, but it is a beautiful burden! If you have a habit of enjoying your sleep in all positions, sorry, I will disappoint you. Pregnancy imposes a burden on your comfort while sleeping, and in order to have a sound sleep, you must adjust to safe sleep positions. Fact is, it’s not easy to sleep soundly with your belly getting in the way. So, If you were a stomach sleeper before, now you'll have to switch sleep positions to accommodate your growing girth (belly) ♧♧So, what are the Best Sleep Positions? What’s the safest sleep position during pregnancy? Please, note after, your fifth month, your back is definitely not best. Sleeping on your back puts extra pressure on your aorta and inferior vena cava, major blood vessel in the body) that run behind your abdomen and carry blood back to your heart from your legs and feet. Pressure on these vessels can slow blood circulation to your body and your baby, and can be risky. Also naturally you might find it harder to breathe while lying on your back. And because your belly pushes down on your intestines when you lie on your back, this position can also lead to tummy troubles.( PLEASE NOTE)! So, how about sleeping on your stomach? That's not a great idea, either. Normally when you lay face down, your stomach presses on your expanding uterus, not to mention your ballooning breasts. This is not the position you wanna be in if you want a good outcome. ♧♧And the winner is (Left is best.) Right now, side sleeping is safest for you and your baby. Plus, it's more comfortable for you as your abdomen grows. ♧♧Is one side of the body better than the other for sleeping? Sleep experts recommend lying on your left side, because It improves circulation, giving nutrient-packed blood an easier route from your heart to the placenta to nourish your baby. Lying on the left side also keeps your expanding body from pushing down too hard on your liver. While either side is okay, left is best! #Tips Some few other positioning tips to help you get more comfortable and protect your baby while you sleep during pregnancy: 1.☆☆For more belly and back support: Try and prop a pillow under your tummy or between your knees. Buy a special extra-long pregnancy pillow, or just use one you have in the closet at home. Positioning a pillow under your body can help keep you on your side, preventing you from rolling to your stomach or back. 2.☆☆For shortness of breath: Put a pillow under your side to raise your chest. 3.☆☆For heartburn: Prop up the head of the bed a few inches with books or blocks. This helps keep acids down in your stomach, rather than burning their way up your esophagus. 4.☆☆Don't panic if you roll from side to front or back while you sleep. You're better off letting your body move where it's most comfortable than trying to wake yourself up every few minutes to stay on your side. 5. ☆☆You need as much sleep as you can get right now. You'll appreciate the extra rest once your baby starts waking you up for those midnight (and 1 a.m., and 2 a.m.) feedings! Good luck Dr. Chuk Ufondu.

Lillianade: I'm so sorry, pls just do what you feel is comfortable for you at this stage, be it FF or EBF whatever feels right for you, do it. I would suggest you stand your ground amist your MIL brouhaha but reading your story ,it made me realise you need back up. A doctor, a friend( is best you get a friend who is also nursing or had nursed a child and who fully understand this postpartum depression) to talk to DH and MIL. They both need to back off or support you on your decision. |

ChizziCindy: As long as is not Ice block water, is okk But when you get to your last trimester(8/9 months) anything cold water should be limited or best totally avoided I heard a doctor on a radio station say "cold water causes labour to delay" (I don't know how true it is o) you can verify But the Ice block water, pls stay clear from it, medically is not advisable, how much more when one is pregnant |

Cold water or ice block water does not affect labor. It is totally safe and can be taken at any stage of pregnancy! Doctors even recommend chewing ice if a pregnant woman is unable to tolerate water due to hyperemesis gravidarium. I had severe morning sickness and severe dehydration in my pregnancy. Chewing ice helped me stay hydrated after I was discharged from the hospital. Even till I delivered, my water must be from the deep freezer. I did same with my first son too.

Hi Mama, This is false. Even abroad, during labour they give you ice chips to soothe your throat so no there is nothing stopping you from taking cold water or ice block sef. It goes into your tummy not your uterus and doesn't affect your baby Nyxx123: 7 Likes 1 Share |

jazzyjazz: Ma'am that it worked for you, doesn't mean it might work for another. I had my reason when I wrote she should stay clear from ICe blocked water(the ones that one can chew on). The same doctor that adviced you to chew on ice might advice against that to another. I don't want to cause panick here but I know of a lady that chewed on ice all through her pregnancy, though she was advived against chewing ice but she did and her newborn developed heart problem. Now you might say, its just a coincidence or not... no one knows.. its Better to avoid things that might cause harm. I also said about cold water delaying labour, the doctor specifically said you can drink but once you enter 8/9 months limit it or best avoid it if you can. When I reply a comment I always mention who and where a certain was said, that should give that person better judgement, to decide either take it with a pinch of salt or not I also said I wasn't sure, she should verify. 1 Like |

Mummy4life1:Most mama's experience back pain in second trimester. Read that the hormone relaxin relax muscles in the body which makes the bones or joint loose. If the pain is severe, you let your doctor know, rest and take pain relieve. Most cases being active and exercise strengthen the muscles. Let your doctor know to rule out other causes. |

Nobody is fighting you ma. All myself and jazzy did was clarify. I believe all of us have learnt and more importantly, anyone who joins after and searches the thread will also learn. Ice chips cannot cause heart conditions. All it will do is quench your thirst and cool the heat in your body. Enjoy your cold and ice water in pregnancy. All the best Nyxx123: 5 Likes |
