Sleeping position?

Question

I know as you get further along in your pregnancy that it's not as safe to lay on your back because of the size of the baby. Is it still okay to do during the first trimester? Specifically somewhere between 3-6 weeks? (I'm unsure of how far along I am yet. Appt on July 10)

Answer

Trust me. Your body will tell you when to stop. I slept on my stomach until about 25 weeks and on my back for longer. My body definitely let me know when it was time to stop.

Answer

I slept on my stomach up until I was 15 weeks. Only because it was the only comfortable position. Now I can only sleep on my sides but it's so uncomfortable !

My Sleeping Positions

Answer

Read "Expecting Better" by Emily Oster....helps with those crazy pregnancy myths and uses research, not wives tales. She says basically listen to your body and what is comfortable. Pregnant women don't sleep super well usually so if you can get to sleep comfortably, do it! Not much research to back up all these rules and how to lay.

Answer

Your body will let you know.  I knew when I could no longer sleep on my belly and now at 26 weeks I can also no longer sleep on my back.  Enjoy different sleeping positions while you still can. You'll miss it.

Answer

You know when it's time to stop laying on your back. All the sudden it starts to get really uncomfortable. Even if you're dead asleep and roll onto your back, you'll end up rolling to your side. Just get comfy and get sleep!

Answer

They just don't advise it because the weight of the uterus constricts blood flow do baby is not getting everything it needs. But this really only pertains to when you are around 20 or so weeks.

Answer

I've heard you start avoiding your back at 20 weeks. You are definitely safe!
