31 weeks and I keep waking up on my back!?

Question

Pre-pregnancy I would NEVER sleep on my back, and although I start the night on my side (I know this is safer) I have recently been waking up laying on my back. And I’m not waking up because I’m uncomfortable, it’s because of my alarm, just to clarify. I’m struggling to get comfy on my sides which is why I think I keep changing positions to my back. I’ve tried using pillows but that doesn’t seem to keep me there? 
What do I do? I know it’s dangerous but obviously I’m asleep so don’t know I’m doing it! Please help!

Answer

I put pillows behind me so I cant roll over in my sleep. Try not to stress to much my dr said its not till 20 weeks that you really need to worry about it.

Answer

I’m 33 weeks and have been doing the same. I wake up on my back and I only wake up bc it hurts. I sleep with a blanket folded longways to block me but it doesn’t work. I flip too much in my sleep so I wake up a lot to reposition myself. I try to hold on to the edge of the bed when I sleep, doesn’t work :/

Answer

Youre fine, your body will move you from yiur back while sleeping if there's something wrong with it.

Answer

I’m only comfortable on my back.. my doctor says that my body will let me know when to move. But so far I am completely fine on my back, I’m currently 36 weeks.

Answer

You will be fine. I was the same during my recent pregnancy (had my second son 4/12/19), and he is just fine. I tried wedging pillows under my right side so I can sleep at an angle but I would wake up often on my back. Just go back to your side and continue tot try to sleep. Your body will wake you up if you’re in pain.
