Is this a thing other women in pregnancy experience?

Question

If I lay down for even 5 minutes I get so sick. I'm guessing it's my stomach being pushed in weird ways but I hate it. I can't eat at night anymore because no matter how far in advance I eat, if I go to lay down I get so nauseous, gassy, and overall just feel ill. Anyone else deal with this? I don't get heartburn or indigestion at all, I just feel gross, bloated, and like I could throw up 😪 is there anyway to stop it?

Answer

How do you sleep ? I feel like this if I lay on my back but am okay on my sides

Answer

Try to sleep/lay down on your left side mainly. Because your liver is on the right side of your abdomen, lying on your left side helps keep the uterus off that large organ. Sleeping on the left side also improves circulation to the heart and allows for the best blood flow to the fetus, uterus, and kidneys. When you lie on your back, the weight of your uterus presses on the major vein that returns blood from your lower body to your heart. Laying down on the belly for obvious reasons is very uncomfortable. I heard that all that has a lot to do with feeling dizzy and nauseous. Hope it helps.

Answer

Yeah I ended up having to get zofran because my nausea would get so bad. Once like 7pm rolled around, I knew I was doomed because I’d lay down while my daughter is doing homework and showering and whatnot, and I’d start feeling bloated and nauseated. By the time she was asleep I’d be vomiting for a few hours. The last couple weeks have been rough. I also have had really terrible heartburn. You’re lucky you don’t have that! They say try to lay more elevated at least and it should help.
