When do you have to stop sleeping on back?

Question

I keep reading different things about this and I honestly dont know what to believe. I plan on asking my dr but my appointment isn't till the first week of January. 
I'm 24 weeks and I love to lay and fall asleep on my back, but am i putting danger to my baby?

Answer

Found this online
Some experts recommend pregnant women avoid sleeping on their backs during the second and third trimesters. Why? The back sleep position rests the entire weight of the growing uterus and baby on your back, your intestines and your vena cava, the main vein that carries blood back to the heart from your lower body.’’
So the harm is not to your baby it is to you.. 
I’m in my second trimester and co sleep wit my 1 year old who likes falling asleep on my chest.. he weights 25 pounds and it’s definitely bothering my back and breathing. I have to figure out how to teach him to fall asleep on his own.

Answer

From everything I’ve heard, read, and experiences with my first- your body will tell you something needs to change before any damage is done. With my first I would be laying on my back (at an ultrasound or NST) and start to feel dizzy and hot, like I was going to pass out. My dr had me turn to my side and it got better. If you fall asleep on your back, your body will give you signals that it’s time to move.
