Before i became pregnant I slept on my stomach for all of my life unless i was really sick with a cold/stuffy nose then i had to sleep in a propped up sitting position. As soon as i became aware I was pregnant sleeping on stomach option went out the window; between soreness in breast and cramping/growing uterus it was a no go lol. I've had to resort to sleeping in a propped up sitting type position or occasionally laying on my side for a hour or two at a time but i cant stay sleeping on my side for longer than that. I know being pregnant it says you shouldn't sleep on your back because the weight of the pregnant uterus slows the return of blood toyour heart, which reduces blood flow to the fetus. That means the baby is getting less oxygen and fewer nutrients. And I've heard that SOS (Sleeping on side) is acutally the best, especially your left. Just wondering how others have mostly been sleeping during their
pregnancy. (SORRY SO LONG LOL)
