When should I stop laying on my back?

Question

Hi ladies! I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to lay on your back after a certain point in your pregnancy. I’m 17 weeks now and wondering if I’m still early enough to keep sleeping on my back every once in a while?

Answer

I did my whole pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

You should get uncomfortable when it's a problem 😊 I've been told to sleep however until it's uncomfortable for me.

Answer

34 + 3 still sleep on mine only way I can .

Answer

I’m 32 weeks and sometimes that’s the only way I’m comfortable so I’ll still lay on my back

Answer

I was wondering the same thing as that seems to be the only way I’m comfortable since being pregnant. I’m just assuming once it gets uncomfortable then I’ll stop.

Answer

I'm 37 weeks and lay on my back but propped up.

Answer

Hello. You don’t really need to worry about it until around your third trimester is what I was told so you don’t need to be worrying about that. It’s also not a proven thing and my doctor said to just sleep on the left if possible but not to worry about it too much. It’s more of a thing towards to end when you’re biggest x

Answer

I stopped near the end of my second trimester. I confirmed with my doctor at like 30 weeks as well, and she told me no laying on my back. I do sometimes lay on my back with a pillow wedged under one side of me, and she said this is okay.
