When should you start using a pregnancy pillow when you are 7 months pregnant?

It can be used when the pregnancy is 7 months old. At this time, the fetus gradually grows, and the size and weight of the pregnant woman are already very high. Ordinary pillows cannot meet the needs and cannot guarantee quality sleep at night.

When should you start using a pregnancy pillow?

Generally speaking, pregnant women may need to use a pregnancy pillow when they are more than 7 months pregnant. As the fetus grows in age, the size of the fetus increases, and the pregnant woman's abdomen gradually bulges, making it difficult to find a suitable sleeping position. In the 7th to 9th month of pregnancy, the weight of the fetus will make it difficult for pregnant women to sleep on their backs. If this happens, pregnant women can adopt a side sleeping position. In addition, placing a pillow under the abdomen, raising the legs, or sandwiching it between the legs will reduce the pressure on the spine, making pregnant women feel more comfortable.

Which kind of pillow is good for pregnancy

1. E-type pregnancy pillow. This type of pregnancy pillow can pad the head, waist and thighs of pregnant women. Pregnant women sleep in the groove. This design seems to wrap up the pregnant women.

2. Type 7 pregnancy pillow. This design is relatively simple, it can support the abdomen of pregnant women, and pregnant mothers who pursue a single function can consider buying this one.

3. U-shaped pregnancy pillow. This design not only allows pregnant women to sleep with it as a pillow, but also allows them to be placed up and leaned against. The two sides are symmetrical, so it is very convenient to sleep on the left or right side.

4. I-type pregnancy pillow. This design is concave in the middle, like a dog bone. It is mainly used for pregnant women to cushion their waists, and the design is more concise.

How high is the pillow for pregnant women?

1. Generally speaking, a pillow height of 10-15 cm is more appropriate, and the specific size depends on each person's physiological curvature.

2. The hardness of the pillow should be moderate. Generally, buckwheat husk, rice bran, and cattail pillows are good choices.

3. The length of the pillow should be wider than the shoulders. Don't sleep with a pillow that is too small, because when you turn over, the pillow will not be able to support your neck. In addition, a pillow that is too small will affect your sense of security when sleeping.

4. The pillow core should be soft and have good elasticity, breathability, moisture resistance, and hygroscopicity.

Is a pregnancy pillow necessary?

Pregnant women are also advised to sleep on their left side because the liver is on the right side of the abdomen, and lying on the left side moves the uterus away from the liver. Alternating between the left and right sides can relieve pressure on the back. It is difficult for pregnant women to sleep on their backs during the 7th to 9th month of pregnancy. This is because the weight of the fetus will press on the large veins of the pregnant woman, blocking the blood flow from the legs and feet to the heart, causing the pregnant woman to wake up from her sleep. Doctors will recommend that you sleep on your side with the help of a pillow. Some pregnant women find that it is more comfortable to put a pillow under the abdomen or between the legs. Putting a stack of pillows or a folded quilt/blanket behind your back will also relieve pressure on the abdomen.
