laying on back- is it bad?

Question

When I lay on the couch, I'm always on my back. I've heard this is bad for the baby? I'm 15 weeks. Can someone tell me if this is bad or if they had issues from doing it

Answer

I'm 30 weeks and my doctor says laying on your back is fine as long as my upper body is propped up - it's laying flat that's risky. That's often the only way I can get comfortable! At 15 weeks you're fine either way, but as you get farther along, it's more of a concern. I do, however, wake up on my back a lot, and my dr said it's okay. Your body will let you know if you need to move: you'll start getting lightheaded before it effects the baby.

Answer

I read that you aren't supposed to sleep on your back after 20 weeks.  Not sure about just resting rather than sleeping all night.

Answer

At 15 wks you're fine! You'll know when it's not ok to lay on your back anymore. You'll have trouble breathing and possibly get light headed.

Answer

You're fine. You'll know if your vena cava is being smooshed and then you can just move. I slept on my back/sides all throughout my last pregnancy.
