Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found that pregnant women who went to sleep on their back (supine position) the night before a late stillbirth had a significantly higher risk (about 2.3 times) of experiencing the stillbirth compared to those who slept on their side (left position).
  • Women who experienced a stillbirth were also more likely to sleep less than 5.5 hours, wake up once or not at all during the night, and take daily naps, indicating potentially risky sleep patterns.
  • The research suggests that avoiding the supine sleeping position could reduce the risk of late stillbirth, but further studies are needed to confirm whether changing sleep habits can effectively lower stillbirth rates.]
