So why are you not supposed to lay on your back during pregnancy? I've been doing so and obviously my babies are fine so

Because it restricts air flow to not only you but baby and puts pressure on your Vena cava I think it's called which pumps blood back to your heart and it's more so the farther along and bigger your belly gets

it *can* cut off the supply of oxygenated blood. I heard it is okay if you lay on your back with a pillow under your right hip to elevate it a little and prevent that. but would ask your doc about that suggestion too, just to be safe 😊

...

Okay thank you😊. I'll call my doctors and ask because I haven't been advised against it @mamamj @mommyagain @jennatess

I only slept on my back during pregnancy. My ob said pregnancy is already uncomfortable enough, sleep the way you can lol

@misha.97, ok love yeah see what they suggest

Lol my thoughts exactly @lovebuggg2016 because that's really the only way I can lay when my ribs hurt. Butttt when are your due dates😁 @mommyagain and @lovebuggg2016 ?

I had my baby in January! Lol but when I was pregnant I only slept on my back!

I sleep on my back to my Dr. said do whatever feels comfortable

@misha.97, Girl too far away! August 7th!

cuts off the air supply to the baby my doc told me and the blood flow to the baby

my stomach actually starts hurting when i lay on my back

The baby compresses a major artery and therefore slows down your blood flow which affects baby in a few different way. But I believe doctors tell you this as a "better safe than sorry" kind of thing.
