SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK??

Question

Okay, I'm just shy of 20w right now and I still find so much comfort sleeping on my back. And even when I fall asleep on my side, I wake up on my back.  I've read so many places that it's better on your side for circulation to the baby. But even on my back baby moves... he woke me up at 930 this morning moving around lol..

Does anyone still sleep on their back? Is this something that will get less comfortable as baby grows and will force me to sleep on my side?

Thanks ladies!!

Answer

36 weeks and I still sleep on my back. Doctor said as long as I'm able to breathe comfortably there is no problem

Answer

Sleep however you can get comfortable. Once it becomes uncomfortable to sleep in back or stomach, that's when you should try to stay on your sides.

Answer

I slept on my back until pretty late in my pregnancy. Every single doctor I asked said as long as it was comfortable for me, it was fine. I used to drive myself crazy trying to force myself to sleep on my side, and was hardly sleeping. The most important thing is for you to rest and get a decent night sleep so baby can grow grow grow

Answer

At 20 weeks I tried to sleep on my side but would often roll over on my back in my sleep. Eventually it gets to the point (at least for me) where you can feel the circulation being slowed down on your back and have sleep on your side.

Answer

Sleep how it's comfortable as long as you can. Once I hit 30 weeks it was too hard to lay on my back. It feels like you're suffocating

Answer

I'm 30 weeks and I sleep on my back still

Answer

I wish I could lay on my back. I'm 19 weeks and 2 days and when I lay on my back it feels like my whole hip area and lower spine is like stretching and coming apart so I try to avoid it

Answer

I sleep on my side but normally wake up on my back
