Insomnia during pregnancy has an impact on the fetus. This effect has a direct relationship with the frequency and duration of insomnia. If occasional short-term insomnia occurs during pregnancy, it generally does not significantly affect the development of the fetus, or it shows frequent fetal movements and rapid fetal heart rate in a short time. If frequent insomnia during pregnancy, and the degree of insomnia is serious, it will affect the blood circulation of the placenta, so that the fetus shows chronic hypoxia, causing fetal growth retardation, or even asphyxia. Therefore, if the symptoms of insomnia during pregnancy are serious, it is necessary to find out the cause and take appropriate drugs under the guidance of a doctor to prevent the development of the fetus.
