I am only comfortable sleeping on my back but I don't let myself because I'm not supposed to and I don't know what to do 😭
lol @shayleesimmons I totally understand. I was the same way at first. It does get easier to relax and go with the flow with each pregnancy. You'll be a great mommy 😉
@crazymommy04, I want to but this is my first and I'm super nervous about a lot of things 😅
I've been told this, but every doc I've had has also told me that it's perfectly fine. you toss and turn so much in your sleep while pregnant I've never truly worried about it. I'm on baby #4 now and have slept on my back at times throughout all of them.
my problem is waking up on my stomach
I've struggled with sleeping on my sides too, I end up with a body pillow on my backside, a pillow in between my knees, and a wedge pillow under my stomach, it's been the only way I can do it. My dr told me to try everything possible to lay on my sides primarily and oddly I'll wake up nauseated if I roll on my back. It doesn't make sleeping easy! @shayleesimmons
@crazymommy04, they say you aren't supposed to sleep on your back after 20 weeks because the weight of your uterus can compress one of your major blood vessels and cut off the blood flow/oxygen to your baby
I talked to my doctor about it and she said they recommend sleeping on your left side but you gotta sleep however you can. so she said it was okay, as long as I still felt the baby moving
Why aren't you supposed to? If that is the only way you feel comfortable and can sleep then do it. What is it gonna hurt? I sleep on my back 80% of the time. The other 20% I'm either on my side or tossing and turning.
@kristinamarie_1996, I'm going to talk to my doctor about it next time I go in because I'm so nervous about it but cannot sleep 😓
I slept on my back and my stomach my entire pregnancy and gave birth to a very healthy baby girl. They say that babies get less oxygen if you sleep on your back but I know many women who sleep on their backs when pregnant and have never had any problems
This for the moms that don't like what I post don't comment
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
some girls should shut the hell up .. they always say if you don't have something nice to say then don't say it ! I hate judgmental people with closed minded views .
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
@crazymommy04, thanks! I sure hope so 😊
