Question

i am almost 5weeks and sleeping on the side hurts my back. and the only way my back doesn't hurt is when i lay on my back. ive read its not good to sleep on back but ive literally tried every sleeping position and it hurts

Answer

You can sleep on your back this early in your pregnancy. Your body will tell you when you can't anymore.
It's usually not until your second, sometimes even third trimester, that your uterus gets heavy enough to press on an artery in your back that will cause you to get light headed and occasionally have tingling in your hands. 
Until then, sleep however you want!!

Answer

Your good to sleep on your back until you really start showing - they recommend not sleeping on your back later in pregnancy, as the baby is taking up so much room in your belly that it can cut off the blood flow to the uterus

Answer

I have 2 kids and a 3rd on the way I have always slept however I wanted  as long as it didn’t put pressure on my belly I was fine. My midwife said it was ok
