Sleeping on back?

Question

Any one else catch themselves sleeping on back? 
Ive been waking up these past nights and im laying on my back. 
I know they say its not safe. I googled it and yeah we all know its not always good to google. Soooo now im freaken out. 
Idk exactly how to prevent myself. I always fal asleep on side and end up on my back?

Answer

It’s fine. There are things that would happen before it ever hurt your baby and you would move because your body told you to or was in pain.

Answer

I asked 2 different midwives about this. They both told me that it was fine and if you accidentally squish the blood vessel google is always freaking out about, you will feel nauseous / your body will wake you up and you’ll move.

Answer

Go by feeling. If it feels comfortable, it is ok.
Your body is amazing, you usually tund unconciously when it is kot comfortable, and trust yourself. The reccomendation is to rahther not force yourself on your back. If you don't feel good, turn. 
I am 38 weeks and on back it is hard to breathe, so I turn. But up until two weeks ago, I had no problem on my back.

Answer

I use a body pillow. You could use regular pillows behind your back to help you from turning completely on your back.

Answer

I found I was doing the same so now I sleep with a pillow behind my back in order to not roll completely on my back.

Answer

Googling is always good. Staying educated is very important. I can't imagine why some people don't know as much as I do about pregnancy while it's going on. If I have any tiny symptom I always check it out thoroughly with Google. 
Sleeping on your back is obviously not good. But some people do it without any issues. Some doctors believe it's more important to get a good night's sleep than to worry about your sleeping position.
I personally don't allow myself to sleep on my back at all though. I started teaching myself not to the second I found out I was pregnant and now I'm 39+3 and it's a no brainer. 
I've heard some people say they sleep on their side with a pillow behind them so that if they accidentally try to roll over in their sleep they'll either have a hard time doing it and wake up and realize, or they'll at the very least only be able to sleep on their back at sort of an angle so it's at least not as bad.

Answer

All the time. Though I try to sleep on my side just cause it’s a bit more comfortable, I’m not concerned if I wake up on my back.

Answer

I sleep on my back quite a bit, as my arms and hands go numb due to carpal tunnel syndrome so I can't lie on my side for prolonged periods of time. So far so good 38+3 😊
