Waking up on my back? Third trimester

Question

Has anyone got any tips on how I can avoid sleeping on my back. I’ve tried a pregnancy pillow, along with normal pillows, without pillows and even sleeping on my own but I’ll wake up still on my back. How do you stop this?

Answer

Honestly, your body isn’t going to stay in a position that isn’t comfortable for it. If being on your back was really hurting you, your body would “let you know” ..when you catch yourself just turn on your side. I still wake up on my back at times but sometimes it’s more comfortable than being on my side.

Answer

The only way I’ve stopped it for myself is to have a maternity pillow on my front to hug and then a firm high pillow against my back. If I try to flip, it blocks my way. I really have to build myself a wall lol.

Answer

yeah if you're a roller it's gonna happen, doc said if it happens and you wake up just roll back the other way. I wedge a pillow under my back/butt makes my body tilted to the left, so when I'm on my left side and decide to roll I end up tilted lol

Answer

I think it’s inevitable if you’re a roller.

Answer

I wouldn’t worry to much about it. It happened to me with my first pregnancy and it’s happened to me durning this pregnancy too. You can’t really help or control what you do in your sleep. When you wake up and realize you’re on your back just roll over to your side. It’s fine

Answer

I️ prop my top half up on like 3 pillows anyway and then if I️ roll on my back, no harm no foul because I’m at an incline already! Not only does that keep acid reflux at bay, but sometimes the only way I️ can get comfy and fall asleep is on my back in mid-recline! I’ll take the sleep however I️ can get it! As long as I’m not feeling pinching in my back or numbness or tingling in your appendages - I️ let my body tell me what is right and not right.
