Is this safe?

Question

Well I'm 19 weeks and 3 days and I'm sleeping on my back. It's really the only way I can sleep comfortably. I've only gained 5lbs and sometimes I even catch myself trying to lay on my stomach😫😫😫😫😫😫😫....does anyone else have this problem?

Answer

I'm a back sleeper too. I have been trying to sleep on the side but wake up often in the middle of the night on my back and I start to panic. At my checkup last week I was told it was fine to sleep on my back until the end of the pregnancy. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow.

Answer

I talked a about it with my ob, because i've been sleeping on my back almost all my life and he told me it was safe till i turned 27 weeks (third trimester) but you can also always ask your ob/midwife about it :)

Answer

I'm 21 weeks and sleep on my stomach most of the time, it's only a problem when it becomes uncomfortable.

Answer

I was a stomach sleeper. Don't worry your body will automatically make you a side sleeper as you get bigger. If you're on your back and baby is in danger he or she will wake you.

Answer

You can really sleep any way you want it won't harm the baby. It's advised not to lay flat on your back for long periods of time because you have a major artery back there that can cut off some blood supply, however sleeping on your back will be fine. It's more of something that's advised for things like not laying on your back doing crunches etc. Also sleeping on you stomach is perfectly fine you can do it up until you arnt physically able to then you might need the help of pillows. I you are worried about sleeping on your back or stomach just position some pillows comfortably so you aren't laying flat down either way

Answer

Don't worry. I'm 16w and sleep on my back too. When baby starts getting bigger it'll get uncomfortable and you'll switch positions. It'll feel like trying to sleep with a bowling ball on top of you. Let nature help you make the decision.

Answer

19 weeks and I sleep mostly on my side but partly on my stomach also. My belly isn't big at all yet so it's comfortable for me. The baby has lots of fluid your not hurting anything
