I'm 18 weeks. is it bad to sleep on my back? my mom said it was.. but she's crazy sometimes. lol

They say it's bad for your back. I slept on my back my whole pregnancy. (7.5 months)

only if your baby as on a nerve drs always recommend trying to sleep on your left side cause it helps circulation

they say not to but you can't help how you sleep. they say the safest way is on your left side.. I'm almost 38 weeks and can't sleep on my left so I'm either on my right or on my back

That's how I feel most comfortable on right side or on my back..@lilleeandbrantley,

I am 28 weeks and still do it sometimes.my dr said it "could"cause back pain from the weight of the baby being on ur back, but I always feel fine

sleep on your left side

I'll try to say put on my left side lol thanks girls :)

sleeping on your back lowers the oxygen levels to your baby, ever notice when a woman is in labor the nurses always prop a pillow under one side so you are elevated. that's why. So the heart rate won't drop

My doctor said sleep whatever way you want as long as you are comfortable. I sleep on my back every night

Oh wow.. I didn't know that. that's for the info! :)

i slept on my back the majority of the time the whole time.

We have a major vein that runs through our back. The weight of baby could make you pass out. But our bodies are good at giving us signs that something is wrong. With my first pregnancy I could sleep on my back just fine. With this pregnancy I can't even lay on my back long enough to get a quick ultrasound done
