when should I stop laying on my back!

Question

i am 21 weeks pregnant and feel baby move quite frequently but sometimes I catch myself in the middle of the night sleeping on my back .. I heard you are not supposed to do that while pregnant and it worries me that I might be suffocating baby so I quickly turn around on my side . When do I stop ?

Answer

My doctor told me to just try to fall asleep on your side. If you wake up on your back, not a big. Just roll onto your side and go back to bed. Most of our bodies will automatically wake up if we were on our back for too long of a time

Answer

I am 34w 5d and still occasionally sleeping on my back. If you keep your head propped up with pillows it's not bad. I try to stay mostly on my side but sometimes back is the only way I can get comfortable. You will feel any adverse effects before it hurts your baby....legs going to sleep, dizzy, short of breath. Just listen to your body and both you and baby will be fine.
