Laying on your back?

Question

When is it you should stop laying on your back...? I'm only 11wks 1day, but I feel 'heavy' in my pelvis when I lie on my back already...I've also had bad lower back pain the last two days.
​Thanks ladies! x

Answer

Thank you ladies-this is all mega helpful! 
​I'm thinking about getting one of those body pillows to see if that helps my back, because that's why I was laying on my back in the first place! 
​Are they worth it? I can't believe that I'm already here when I'm only 11wks 2days! x

Answer

It sucks because laying flat is the only thing that helps my upper back pain. I usually end up feeling like I can't breath after about 5 min tho 😩 and when I try to sit up or walk afterwards my siatic never gets squished and hurts even worse lol! I don't think laying on your back hurts the baby, it's you that the Drs are worried about. If itd be comfy I'd do it more often!

Answer

You can lay on your back. Just try to avoid laying completely flat. Lay a bit inclined with pillows to elevate your upper body. I start to feel real out of breath once I'm on my back for to long so I'm positive your body will send you signals to shift.

My doctor said 16 weeks. Some doctors are laid back about it and say it's not a big deal and your body will let you know when you shouldn't. My doctor was much stricter and said for no period of time should i be on my back at all.
