Is it okay to lay on you back in bed?

Question

I’m 13w tomorrow and I’ve read in a few books that it’s not safe to lay on you back while pregnant. What about in bed? Yoga? Etc.

Answer

Doesn’t start to become an issue until later in pregnancy when baby is so big they can obstruct blood flow and cause you to pass out.

Answer

When I sleep I always wake up on my back (I'm 37 weeks today). My OB told me it's fine if you're propped up and your body will tell you if it's not. If I'm not propped up enough I will get dizzy and unable to breathe. Sometimes so much so my husband has to help me sit up cause I can't breathe enough to move. But usually laying propped up some is the most comfortable position for me

Answer

I’m a back sleeper. If it wasn’t so darn uncomfortable at 36w I would still be sleeping on my back. I slept on my back all the way through my first pregnancy and he’s 2 now and perfect. If it’s comfortable for you, it’s fine. If it gets uncomfortable, that’s your body telling you to do something else

Answer

From third semester it becomes a risk but good to get into habit now

Answer

once you hit 20 weeks you shouldn’t lay on your back anymore

Answer

My OB said this is almost never really a problem, but if it is you’ll know (you’ll feel dizzy, sick, unwell, etc). I mean, I still do t go out of my way to do it but if I wake up on my back I don’t freak out as long as I feel alright.

Answer

When you start to get bigger it does start to become a problem for you, maybe not so much the baby
Whenever I accidentally sleep on my back, I'll wake up trying to catch my breath like I cant breathe! 
Getting a bunch of pillows or a pregnancy pillow can help you make it easier not to roll unto your back

Answer

I know this was posted awhile ago. But. Girl you will definitely know when it’s time to stop laying on your back. Whether it be from back pain or the weight of your uterus will start making you uncomfortable. If you do lay on your back farther along. Just make sure you roll onto your side for a few minutes before trying to get up. If you were constricting blood flow that’ll help you not get dizzy when you get up 🥰

Answer

I'm 15 weeks and cant lay flat on my back for long. Depends on your body. I got a pillow to prop my head and knees on
