Question

I fell asleep on my back. Yep. I did. I remember rolling over on my back and thinking “Penny, roll back into your side.” That never happened, I was too tired to roll onto my side and passed out. When I finally woke up, I scared myself because I was still in my back. I immediately rolled in to my right side and my baby boy automatically started kicking me when I did. Out of anger? Lol who knows. There’s so many things they tell us that we can’t do while pregnant and sleeping on your back is a hit or miss with some. How many of you mamas sleep on your back or have woken up on your back? What are your thoughts on it?

Answer

I do it all the time!!

Answer

I was complaining to my mum and sister that I was having trouble and my sister made a comment about how if I’m not sleeping it’s not good for the baby and I can’t just not sleep (or sleep poorly) for 9 months. She told me to pretty much sleep in whatever position is comfortable. 
She even said that she slept on her belly most nights (she never really had a big bump) as it was the only way she could fall asleep

Answer

I sleep on my back with my head propped up. I’ve never had any issues. I get the best sleep that way!

Answer

I put a pillow under my back, but more to one side that way im not totally on my back but more of a mix between on my side and back. My OBGYN and high risk said it was fine 😊

Answer

I’ve fallen asleep on my back a few times. I usually get uncomfortable though cause my preferred sleeping position is on my right side.. I’ve even woken up pretty much on my belly.. lol baby is fine!

Answer

Your body will know if it’s too uncomfortable to lay on your back. I sleep on my sides, my back, halfway on my tummy still. I move a lot when I sleep, I just prop a pillow on one side of my in hopes it’ll keep my from going to my back, but it’s inevitable. Your body knows what it needs.

Answer

Yea I go from my sides to my back all the time while sleeping. I know when I need to get off my back because I start feeling like I can’t breath...I think we’re fine sleeping on our backs as long as we’re mindful of it

Answer

Unless you're feeling discomfort when laying on your back then it's okay. Sometimes when I do it feels like a weight on my chest other times it's totally fine.

Answer

I just prop myself up, but I’m on my back a lot

Answer

I go back and forth between my back, left and right side. I have to be comfortable lol. Usually he will kick like crazy until i get comfortable then he settles down and I fall asleep.
