Maybe I’m just being silly?

Question

Does anyone else wake up on their belly in the middle of the night? I wake up about 2-3 times a night and I’m worried I’m putting too much pressure on the baby ☹️

Answer

I’ve heard that sleeping on your back is more dangerous to the baby than laying on your stomach. They say your uterus puts more pressure while laying on your back and cut the baby’s blood flow off 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure how true that is, but that’s just what I’ve heard

Answer

If you’re comfortable sleeping on your belly still, go for it. It can’t hurt the baby. When it gets a little bigger, it might complain though (I’m 26 weeks and mine kicked the crap out of me last night when I accidentally rolled too far on my belly 🙄🙄)

Answer

your body will tell you what it needs. I sleep on my stomach at night while I'm still able to, I'll wake up on my back and my sides. it just happens, 22 weeks. here.

Answer

Answer

Baby’s pretty cushioned in there  No harm sleeping on stomach. Just gets more uncomfortable for you the bigger you get. The problem with sleeping on your back is the uterus is like a heavy balloon in there. It’ll sway towards the back because of gravity if you’re a back sleeper. Once it becomes too big and heavy, it starts putting too much pressure on your main vein back there, reducing oxygen flow to you and the baby. However, even if you go to bed on your side and you wake up on your back, you didn’t do any permanent damage. Baby kicks start getting strong enough to be felt and ooohh that baby will let you know. I wake up sometimes because mine will kick me and I’m on my back. You just want to make sure to correct your position before sleeping again.

Answer

I wake up with lines across my side sometimes. I just wait it out until I feel baby move then I feel loads better.
