Sleeping at an incline?

Question

I know they say not to sleep flat on your back cause it can put pressure on uterus and decrease blood flow or something like that and to sleep on your left side is best but is it okay if i sleep on my back if I’m on an incline like this picture??

I have bad heartburn and reflux right now so I’m propped up using pillows but I can’t lay on my side comfortably so I’m on my back. Is it safe since I’m technically at an incline or still bad since it’s on my back still? Sorry FTM 33 weeks pregnant so I don’t know anything 😖😖😖

Answer

I do this and am 32 + 5! I literally have 5 pillows organized to prop me up when I need to sleep sitting up, a big pregnancy pillow to cuddle when I lay flat on my left side and hubby to cuddly when I need to lay on my right side! 😆  My poor husband! He’s so sweet and understanding but I know he’s not the comfiest with my pillow fort but he’s a trooper and never complains.  😆🥰

Answer

You’re fine. As long as it doesn’t hurt to lay on your back it’s not a huge concern. And most pregnant women go through a stage of only being able to sleep while they’re propped up. At least, that’s what everyone I’ve talked to has said.

Answer

This is perfectly fine. I haven’t been able to sleep on my side since I was 10 weeks. It’s just insanely uncomfortable, and then I screwed up my back from week 20-26 and definitely couldn’t sleep on my side. Now I’m about 37 weeks and basically have to sleep sitting up almost. I have like five pillows stacked behind me and a pregnancy pillow surrounding me, and then I stick one more pillow underneath my left side so I can slightly lean my belly on it. My doctor said it was perfectly fine to stay on your back, as long as you’re at an incline or propped to the side a little. Your body would let you know if something wasn’t right.

Answer

An incline is safe. If you were on your back and it was unsafe, you will know😳😳 You will not be able to breath and will have to sit up or adjust very quickly

Answer

My doctor told me I could lay however I wanted. I’m restless and would always end up on my stomach even at like 30 weeks lol I had no control...
