Answer

I still sleep on my back...

Answer

I always wake up on my back. Honestly, I'm sure people did it for hundred of years before ever knowing any of the things we know now... and they survived. I'm uncomfortable laying down as it is, so if I get comfortable and fall asleep and wake up on my back, I don't worry about it.

Answer

Actually full fledged sleeping on your back is a big NO NO. It pinches a nerve in your lower back which causes low blood pressure and can even cause a stroke or heart attack in extreme circumstances. Now if you are sleeping on your side at night and wake up on your back that isn't a big deal, just roll back to your side, it only becomes dangerous if you're lying flat on your back for more than an hour.

Answer

I always make sure I fall asleep on my side and I put pillows behind my back to prevent laying on my back and somehow I always wake up on my back🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m 25 weeks and sleep on my back all the time... I wasn’t even aware that wasn’t ok?

Answer

You’re welcome to sleep on your back all you want just be aware that there is a high correlation with back sleeping and stillbirth statistically.

Answer

So long as you try to sleep on your side you will be fine. Your body will naturally wake you if you are on your back for too long as you will soon find it uncomfortable and slightly difficult to breathe

Answer

I’m 24w4d and I mostly sleep on my side but in the mornings I’ve been falling back to sleep on my back more. 🤷‍♀️ I still feel ok and baby is moving regularly so I’m not worrying about it too much.

Answer
