Back sleepers?

Question

I’m 18 weeks and still find myself sleeping on my back periodically. I start on my side but I’ve always been a back sleeper. Anyone else still sleeping on their back? I’ve heard it can have bad side effects for mom and baby so I’m sort of worried.

Answer

My OB specifically said it’s a myth, and that you can sleep on your back as long as you want, until it gets uncomfortable for you.

Answer

With my first pregnancy I slept on my back my entire pregnancy. I’m 19+5 now and still have no problem doing it. Maybe it varies between each woman on what’s feels okay.

Answer

I’m 17 weeks and still fall asleep on my back. I’ve been told it’s ok until your body tells you otherwise.

Answer

I fall asleep on my side and wake up to baby violently kicking when I roll to my back. He/she is very particular to being on my left side I guess. I got a pregnancy pillow (target $50 also doubles a Bobby when baby is born) which makes it a lot easier to fall asleep on my side by cuddling something.

Answer

Yes! I posted about this earlier too! I try my best to stay on my side, but when I sleep well I wake up on my back! Ugh! I’m going to work on stepping up my pillow game for support

Answer

I can’t sleep in any other position usually so side sleeping has been torture for me! I really hope my Dr. tells me it’s a myth and that back sleeping is perfectly ok. I’m 18 weeks today

Answer

I have been waking up in the middle of the night on my back, and I always get worried. I quickly switch to my side but then again find myself waking up again on my back. 
I’ve also read that it’s usually around 20 weeks when your body will start to tell you with pain and discomfort while being on your back.
