Hey girls I was wondering is it safe to lie on ur back when pregnant I'm nearly 25 weeks pregnant…

It's not dangerous but it's better to be on your side. have you tried surrounding/propping with pillows?

It helps when I put a pillow like under bump and then at my back but only for a while! Thinking of getting one of them pregnancy pillows but not too sure yet X

I can't get comfortable in any position even with pillows etc :( hope you find something to help you @teresaglackin

I was never like this with my lb

The pressure/weight of laying on your back can squish blood vessels etc...that is why it isn't advised. But putting a pillow or 2 under your back is safe to do :) Even putting a pillow between your legs can help relieve some of the pressure on your hips x

i have this... really bad pins and needles too in my hips. i find it easier to sleep on my left with a pillow between my legs as its mainly my right hip that hurts most. sort of relieves the pressure. i have slept on my back when that doesn't work though, with plenty of pillows propping me up xx

Don't sleep on your back it's does harm to the baby and your deffo right @winterbaby95

@charliebrown89, it's my right hip too. Xx

Won't be sleeping on back always sleep on my sides

I slept on my back all the way up will 33 weeks but never with straight legs. I would bring my knees up and then swivel my lower half to the side on top of some pillows. was one of the only ways I could get comfy x

Pregnancy pillow helps. I sleep with mine partly between my legs as my hips can sometimes get sore x
