Is sleeping on your back ok while pregnant?

Question

Answer

My doctor said I can do it as long as I feel comfortable. It won't harm you or the baby.

Answer

Once your baby is a little larger in size laying on your back can cause the uterus to put pressure on your vena cava which is a major blood supplying vessel, which could lead to disruption of blood flow to the baby. That’s why they recommend not laying flat on your back for too long

Answer

as long as it is comfortable for you it's fine. if you start to get uncomfortable just move to a different position

Answer

I'm currently 29 weeks and I lay on my back for short periods of time only to relieve some pressure off my hips and knees. I usually have to switch positions after 15-20 mins because I can tell my heart is pumping a little harder and I'm getting uncomfortable.

Answer

I would say early in the first trimester maybe second but personally toward third I couldn’t even do that without being able to actually breath lol

Answer

You’ll hear different things from everyone. I was told with my first that after twenty weeks you should avoid being on your back for long (even workouts that require you to lay on your back). I heard it has something to do with circulation to the baby. But fast forward five years and I’ve been told that I’m okay to be on my back as long as it’s not too uncomfortable. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I do it all the time and durring the day as well,I love it cause the baby’s don’t really like it if u do it so it causes em to move around a bit which is nice to feel
