Is it bad to sleep on your back while pregnant?

It's not healthy bc the baby presses on an important vein in ur back and it can cause problems with ur blood flow . So rather sleep on your side

This btw is usually once the baby gets bigger .

When u get around 16 17 weeks u shouldn't sleep on ur back anymore

when your baby gets bigger is when you should stop and put a pillow under one side of you

My dr told me if I was comfortable and didn't have any problems breathing it was fine

I've heard that as long as nothing hurts it's fine. I sleep on my back because it's more comfortable than my sides.

My doc told me not to sleep on my back for the same reasons @mrsmord said. She said it's better to sleep on your stomach(if comfortable) or sides.

I sleep on my back sometimes because I have huge problems with my hips but I stash a few pillows extra behind me and one under my knees so I'm reclined a little more...
