Sleeping positions?

Question

Im currently 17 weeks and I’ve been told it’s best to lay on your side when you sleep. Preferably the left side I guess... and was told that it’s bad to lay on your back? I’ve always been a side sleeper. I could never sleep on my back so I didnt ever think it would become an issue. But why do I feel more comfortable on my back sleeping than I do on my sides?

Answer

Sleep how you want, your body will let you know when to roll over. I fall asleep on my right side and I’ve woken up on my back and left side before

Answer

Sleep however you want. Your body will tell you when you need to move

Answer

I am a belly sleeper typically, and have such a hard time staying on my sides while pregnant. I often wake up on my back or on my right side (I try my best to stay on my left) but my hips hurt so bad staying like that I just can’t. I think itsfine to be changing positions but also just talk about it with your doctor at your next visit. At this point baby is still pretty small, and wouldn’t really be affected by you being on your back or right side. I think it becomes more and more important as they get bigger like near the end, as far as I remember from my last pregnancy

Answer

My doctor told me it's fine. Sleep how your comfortable. I always wake up on my back with both if my pregnancies

Answer

My doctor told me that sleeping on my back was fine. I often fall asleep on one of my sides and end up waking up on my back.
