How can I force myself to sleep on my side?

Question

I always start out on my side but without fail I end up on my stomach. I want to be able to stay sleeping on my left side cause I know it’s best for baby. Any advice? I’ve slept on my stomach my whole life so I guess it’s just my body’s go to.

Answer

Try barricading yourself with pillows

Answer

you could get a snoogle pillow

Answer

Sleeping on your stomach will be more uncomfortable for you than dangerous for baby. Just lay how you’re comfortable, your body will let you know if you’re doing something it doesn’t like.

Answer

eventually you just won't be able to sleep on your stomach. it'll be like balancing on a beach ball at night

Answer

I end up on my stomach too. My baby is fine. You can't really help what you do when your sleeping. I sleep deeply so I wake up on my back too.

Answer

Put a pillow behind your back once you're on your side. But trust me when you get really big, you won't be able to lay on your back anymore so you'll naturally switch. My dr said it's really not bad until you're big enough for it to be too uncomfortable.

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and still end up on my stomach sometimes. The baby just moves to the back. I always start out on my side but sometimes I just want an hour or two of sleep so I'll let myself go to my stomach. If I wake up, I put the pillows back to brace me on my side and do it all over again. Lol. One thing that helps some is a pillow in between my legs. And I can even cross my leg over a little bit and it's pretty comfortable that way.

Answer

Try a pillow wedge. I got mine from baby’s r us.
