I'm 22.5 weeks am i allowed to lay on my back while sleeping?

@shellybear, It's a good idea to start getting used to a new sleep position now, since you shouldn't sleep on your back after 20 weeks. When you lie belly-up, the weight of your uterus can compress a major blood vessel, called the vena cava, disrupting blood flow to your baby and leaving you nauseated, dizzy, and short of breath. The best way to sleep during the second half of pregnancy is on your side. Some doctors recommend the left side over the right because the vena cava is located to right of your spine, so sleeping on your left side allows blood to flow more freely to your baby. However, this shouldn't make a big difference, and it's more important that you pick whichever side feels better.

okay thanks

if dr ordered blood work for regular checkup cuz he doesnt believe i could b pregnant, would that include a pregnancy blood lab?

would pregnancy symptoms be caused by a uti?

@momma2_3boys, Pregnancy hormones cause changes in the urinary tract which make infections more likely. But the pregnancy symptoms wouldn't necessarily be caused by a uti
