Sleeping on your side?

Question

Hey ladies I’m just wondering if you have any tips for staying on your side at night. I always go to sleep on my side but find myself waking up in the middle of the night on either my back or slightly on my stomach propped up. Also what’s the most important week to start sleeping on your side I’m worried. I’m eight weeks pregnant but I keep waking up on my back or stomach and I can’t figure out how to stay on my side all night. I’ve tried propping myself up with pillows and I just seem to move them in my sleep.

Answer

Snoogle pillow! I had such a hard time staying on my side until I got this. Even with regular pillows around me I always ended up on my back

Answer

Around 20 weeks you should stop sleeping on back, your still early you can sleep however you want without harming baby. I'm 25 weeks and I sleep halfway on my side and somewhat on my stomach if that makes any sense. My pregnancy pillow helps me stay on my side I cuddle with it.

Answer

I am just now to a point where I can’t sleep on my stomach. 17+2. Sleeping on your stomach is fine right now! Your body will let you know when to stop

Answer

You can sleep on your back. It’s whatever is most comfortable. I was high risk with my son and I told my dr that i wake up on my back and he said that’s fine and your body will adjust if needed

Answer

I slept on my stomach until I no longer physically could. Sleeping on your back only becomes an issue in late pregnancy when baby get heavy and some women don't have any probrms and can sleep on their back the whole time. If you get lightheaded while laying on your back then there's an issue. If your really concerned try a pregnancy pillow.
