Hey girls
I was wondering is it safe to lie on ur back when pregnant I'm nearly 25 weeks pregnant and everytime I lie on my sides my hips begin to hurt
Thanks in advance xx
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
Don't sleep on your back it's does harm to the baby and your deffo right @winterbaby95
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
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 can't get comfortable in any position even with pillows etc :( hope you find something to help you @teresaglackin
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
Pregnancy pillow helps. I sleep with mine partly between my legs as my hips can sometimes get sore x
