Pregnant Women Should Not Sleep on Their Back

A recent study offers important advice for pregnant women.

According to the study carried out by experts in Great Britain, it is not recommended that pregnant women sleep on their backs.

Pregnant women sleeping on their backs during the third quarter are expected to suffer more during birth, according to this study, kp broadcasts.

There would be a 3.7 percent drop in births if all pregnant women in Great Britain slept on their backs during the last quarter, the study estimates.

This research has found that infant heart rates are less active when their mothers sleep on their backs, which may be because of the weight of fetuses that pressure blood vessels and thus limit their oxygen supply.
