Reclining position okay?

Question

Hi all, 19+4 here and I’ve been doing good to avoid sleeping and laying on my back. I’m wondering about reclining/lounging on the couch. Is that okay for baby? It feels so nice on my lower back but I don’t want to cut off any blood to baby. I’m not flat on my back. I also don’t know if maybe I’m worrying about this too soon.

Answer

You can lay/sleep however you’re comfortable! You most likely won’t feel good laying totally flat in your third trimester, but you’ll most likely be fine in reclined positions at any point, even to sleep if you use a couple of extra pillows in bed. Being on your side night after night can get hard on the hips!
