Is it bad to lay in bed propped up all day while pregnant?

Question

I’m a stay at home dog mom right now and all I do all day is lay down... I prop myself up or I’m laying on my side.. I’m know it’s bad to lay on your back while pregnant but is it okay to be propped up in bed all day?
I also know that people go on bed rest while pregnant but I don’t know how people on bed rest lay on there side all day because I can’t lay on my side for to long before it gets sore!

Answer

If you aren't on bedrest, you should definitely get up and move your body frequently.

Answer

Exercise and movement is important unless the doctor says you need bedrest. Even just walking is good for you and the baby.

Answer

Or you on bed rest ? If not it would definitely be best and get up and stay active

Answer

Omg my life right now🤣 When I don’t have to do anything I just lay in bed. Feel soooo tired all the time!

Answer

If you’re not on bed rest, then yes it’s bad.  You need to be moving around to keep your circulation to your extremities and your uterus going properly.

Answer

If you're on bedrest then it depends on your condition. When I was on bedrest I needed to be laying down 1 pregnancy, another as long as my feet were up it was fine. If you're not needing bedrest, to be honest, laying around all day isn't healthy. Being active helps with things like blood sugar, blood circulation,  preparing your body for labor etc. The 2 times I was on bedrest I couldn't dilate properly and ended up in c sections. My other 2 pregnancies were vaginal births.
