Summary: People nowadays have the habit of staying up late to sleep, and pregnant women are no exception. Due to the influence of progesterone, as well as the effects of uterine enlargement and difficulty breathing, many pregnant mothers always have insomnia and go to bed late. Moreover, there are some pregnant mothers who could go to bed early, but have to stay up late, watch TV shows on their mobile phones, and stay up until midnight.

My sister lived in her mother\’s house during her pregnancy. Every time her mother told her to go to bed, she would say: It doesn\’t matter if she goes to bed late, since she doesn\’t have to go to work during the day, so just go to bed late. Make up for it. \”In fact, she doesn\’t know that pregnant mothers staying up late may seem to be going to bed early and going to bed late, but in fact they are \”harming themselves and the fetus.\”
Lack of energy, malabsorption of nutrients, difficulty in raising children
A friend often stayed up late during her pregnancy, sometimes because of insomnia, sometimes because she couldn\’t help but play with her mobile phone at night. As a result, when I was more than 3 months pregnant, I suddenly became red. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out it was a threatened miscarriage. After more than half a month, the fetus was barely saved. The doctor told her at the time that this situation was probably related to her staying up late. Because she stayed up late, she was in a depressed mood. During the day, she was always listless, had a loss of appetite, was physically weak, and had difficulty raising children.
Therefore, pregnant mothers must not think that staying up late is just to sleep, and they can just catch up on sleep during the day. After pregnancy, the body is already weak, and it is difficult to sleep well at night. The time during the day that should be nourishing, moving, and sunbathing is spent on poor quality sleep. Raising a baby is really hard. Of course, not all staying up late will cause threatened miscarriage, but it will increase the chance of miscarriage. Pregnant mothers must not be careless.
Disrupt the fetal biological clock and affect its healthy development
Moreover, staying up late to sleep is not only a problem for pregnant mothers to go to bed early and go to bed late, but the fetus in the belly will also suffer. We know that the human body has a biological clock, and so does the fetus. Generally speaking, the fetal internal organs are basically developed around 4 months old, and the brain begins to function around 7 months old. At this time, it is more aware of what its mother is doing. During the day, he is in his mother\’s womb, feeling the sound and light, and is \”awake\” most of the time, but at night, he needs to \”sleep\” and rest.
However, if the pregnant mother cannot sleep at night, the fetus will also be very excited and sleep unsteadily. If things go on like this, the biological clock will be disrupted, affecting their healthy development. Therefore, pregnant mothers must follow the advice of doctors and family members, get more rest during pregnancy, and try not to stay up late.
Often staying up late and feeling anxious affects baby\’s development
Anyone who has ever stayed up late knows that staying up late not only makes people depressed, but also makes people feel very anxious, which can lead to bad mood and easy loss of temper. Mothers are always suddenly depressed or angry, and their ownNutrient absorption and physical health are also easily affected, thereby affecting the fetus\’s absorption of nutrients. If the fetus cannot absorb nutrients well, the body will be weaker. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers always lose their tempers, and the fetus with emotional changes is also more likely to have congenital defects.
Therefore, in order not to \”injure yourself or the fetus\” during pregnancy, pregnant mothers must remember to try not to stay up late and develop the habit of going to bed early.
