When you lie belly-up, the weight of your uterus can compress a major blood vessel, called the vena cava, disrupting blood flow to your baby and leaving you nauseated, dizzy, and short of breath.
Yes, it's not good for baby! They say sleeping on the left side is the best side. It increases the amount of blood flow and nutrients that reach your placenta. @trulyslim
I was never told this but now it makes sense as to why I was always so uncomfortable on my back...I always thought I was the weight of the baby on everything. Good to know for next time!

My ob said it has something to do with blood flow.

I know right, because I'm used to it too. I do sometimes just to give my side a rest. @trulyslim

My doctor told me to sleep however is comfy. So for four pregnancies, I have slept on my back and sides.

Sleeping on your back constricts your blood flow can raise your blood pressure n makes your organs work harder
