Pregnancy Tips & Facts

One of the facts that I learn about pregnancy is that a pregnant wife needs to avoid sleeping flat on her back. I tried to find the reason from the one source that is dependable, reliable, and always trying to sell me Viagra: the Internet.

I later found out that sleeping flat on her back might hinder the flow of nutrients and blood to the placenta. It’s still okay to lay on her back with several pillow supports, but avoid lying flat.

So what you, the husband, need to do is to tell your wife,”Don’t sleep on your back because it might harm the baby” several times every night until she gets annoyed and hit you with her bedside lamp. So it might not be a good idea.

Another way to do this is to put a pillow behind her when she sleeps on her side. That way the pillow will prevent her from rolling over to her back. You might want to put harder pillow, or if all fails, some durians.

Then if later she still rolls to her back, you need to push her to roll again, which will probably wake her up and throw you out of the bedroom. So you need to discuss first whether it’s okay to wake her up if that happens. She, the happy and loving mother, will surely say it’s okay. But still, move all sharp objects from the bedroom
