At what week of pregnancy should I stop sleeping on my back?

Question

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant, when is it best to stop or when did you doctor advise you to stop sleeping on your back? Right now it’s not uncomfortable for me, but I want to makes decisions that’s best for the baby. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I heard that it can cut off oxygen and circulation for baby.

Answer

Neither of my doctors ever mentioned this to me during my last pregnancy or this one. You’ll feel lightheaded/dizzy on your back if it’s time for you to stop.

Answer

You'll know.

Answer

When it’s no longer comfortable.

Answer

Usually after 20weeks they recommend side sleeping if possible.
