Sleeping on back?

Question

Hi ladies, 
I forget when are we supposed to stop lying on our backs? I have already started training myself to sleep on my side and have a big pillow however I have a 2 hour dentist appointment where I will be laying on my back and I'm nervous about that. I'm 17 weeks. My dentist knows I'm
Pregnant.

Answer

20 weeks is what I've heard but it might be sooner with multiples... Not sure

Answer

My doctor said I could sleep on my back till 20 weeks,  if becomes uncomfortable before then to stop.

I think you will be okay at the dentist because you are not completely flat for the most part.

Answer

They say you should stop sleeping in your back once your in the 2nd trimester & on. It causes to much pressure, & restricts blood flow.

Answer

You should be fine bc the chair are still angled they just don't like you being flat on your back. I wish I could say that I've trained myself to sleep on my side but I was always a side sleeper up until I got pregnant now I always want to sleep on my back! I need to get a body pillow for sure maybe that will help.

Answer

They recommend whenever comfortable because as the baby gets bigger the weight will compress the veins that help blood flow to the lower extremities so I started on my side around 18-20 weeks every pregnancy because that's when it would be uncomfortable for laying that way. It will vary on your size too on whether it will be uncomfortable for u or not. I started then but it never really bothered me until I came closer to being due

Answer

Usually at the dentist there is enough tilt in the chair it should be fine. I've heard that as long as you're not flat and there's some elevation it's not a big deal. I'm 18 weeks and I still have a problem staying off my back at night.
