Back sleeping??

Question

I’m 30w 6d and I keep waking up in the middle of the night on my back. I panic every time but no matter how tight I tuck myself into my pregnancy pillow, I always wake up laying on my back. Any tips??

Answer

I was always a side sleeper so I was never worry about this. However, as the bump started to get bigger since 24weeks or so, I am always sleeping on my back. My sides seem to ache more when I lay on my side 😥😥😥

Answer

Trust your body because it knows what's comfortable and safe and what isn't. I don't sleep much on my back but with my first baby at around 36 weeks I'd always wake up on my back and it felt more comfortable than laying on my sides, and he's almost 2 now

Answer

I sleep on my back most of the time and have during a good amount of my pregnancy. My doctor told me not to worry about it and If it’s an issue my body or baby will
Make it known and it’s an issue and I’ll feel uncomfortable or in pain or hard to breath etc that will make me move into different position

Answer

You can sleep on your back, but you don't want to be flat. My midwife has suggested shoving a pillow under one side , so you're a bit tilted. So I sometimes do that.

Answer

I'm also a back sleeper and have been trying to force myself to sleep on my side but often wake up on my back. I asked my doctor about it, and she said not to stress about it! She did encourage me to put a pillow behind me so I'm not totally flat (sometimes I put one a little under my side so I'm angled a bit), but she said my body will correct itself if necessary.

Answer

Try to keep yourself propped up a little so your not entirely flat on your back

Answer

I go to bed laying on my left side and wedge a pillow behind my back/butt as a barrier/prompt to fully roll over if I switch sides ~ working pretty well and occasionally I wake up on my back

Answer

I am a back and stomach sleeper and can not wait until this baby comes because I want to sleep on my back so bad. I got a thick U shaped pregnancy pillow and tuck the back pillow into my back and allow my self to lay against it so I am kinda on my back and not fully on my side. This helps a ton. Only way I can sleep.

Answer

Me too & it scares me I always sleep on my side but everytime I wake up I'm on my back.
