Is it ok?

Question

I’m 17+5 and wondering if it’s ok to lay on my back if my head is propped up on pillows? I’m not limiting blood flow to baby if I do that am I?

Answer

You’ll know if you need to move. I woke up on my back through out my pregnancy. The reason that they tell you not to lay on your back is because the weight of the baby can put pressure on a vein in that area between baby and your back and make you dizzy and sick. If you’re not uncomfortable you’re okay.

Answer

You can lay however is comfortable for you I laid on my back for awhile I now have a healthy 7 week old little boy. When it’s not comfortable your body will tell you

Answer

My midwife said “after 28 weeks its not recommended to start the night sleeping on your back” but otherwise, you’ll know if you need to move. A pillow under your head won’t help as much as a pillow under one hip/butt cheek.

Answer

I’m 24 weeks and I lay on my back. It’s almost the only way I can get comfy. But the further along I get the harder it is for me to breathe on my back lol.
