Side-sleeping in latepregnancybest forbabygrowth<br />
Pregnantwomenhave another reason to sleep on their side in the<br />
final weeks -new evidenceisit’sbest forthe baby’sgrowth.<br />
AUniversity ofAuckland-led study has found that women who go<br />
to sleep on their back over the last one to four weeks have ababy<br />
that is, on average, <strong>14</strong>4g lighter than women who settle on their<br />
sides -equivalenttothe effectofsmoking 10 cigarettes daily.<br />
No need to panic,though, if yougotosleep on your side but wake<br />
up on your back,researchers say.<br />
“This is common -just settle back to sleep on your most comfortable<br />
side. Also, our advice isthe same whether you’re going to bed at<br />
nightorlying down foradaytime nap,’’sayssenior author Professor<br />
Lesley McCowan, Head of the University’sDepartmentofObstetrics<br />
and Gynaecology<br />
When it comes to newborns, being too light ismore perilous than<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>MontessoriPreschool<br />
Stepping Stones @Braebrook is locally<br />
owned and we pride ourselves on<br />
being family focused,flexible and fun!<br />
Trust, love and security are fostered<br />
through meaningful moments with<br />
teachers. We nurture capability in<br />
children and view them as partners in<br />
their learning and care–taking the time<br />
to ensure interactions are respectful<br />
and unhurried as we build relationships<br />
with our learners. Our dedicated team<br />
of Kaiako teach from the heart and<br />
value trusting relationships with the<br />
children and their families.<br />
Calm, open spaces encourage natural development -achance<br />
for pēpē to explore and discover, intheir own time. Heuristic<br />
resources and experiences are woven throughout our spaces<br />
allowing children to freely explore their senses and discover a<br />
range of materials though their play.<br />
being too heavy. Babies who are small for their gestational age<br />
(SGA), defined as having abirthweight inthe lowest 10 percent of<br />
babies born, aremorelikely to be stillbornorhave health problems<br />
beforeand following birth.<br />
Thelikely reason is thatlying on the back in late pregnancyreduces<br />
blood supply to the placenta and babydue to amajor vessel in the<br />
mother’s abdomen (the inferior vena cava) being compressed by<br />
the sizeofthe large pregnantwomb.<br />
Of the 1760 pregnantwomenwho were interviewed from 28 weeks’<br />
gestation or later, 57 (3.2 percent) reported that they usually went<br />
to sleep on their back during the previous one to four weeks.These<br />
women were three times more likely to have aSGA baby, and the<br />
babies were on average <strong>14</strong>4g lighter, with a10percent decrease in<br />
birthweightpercentile.<br />
Regular excursions within the<br />
community are a valued learning<br />
experience as are visits from our<br />
music teacher, family and friends<br />
reading stories and local school<br />
groups sharing their learning with us.<br />
