hey @lauramorg I do this a lot too and spoke to my midwife she said it's not harmful for baby but more for mum as it's the weight of the baby lying on a major vein. I woke up the other night and had been lying on my back had a major headache that meaning and felt sick think it's because of that. I've now been putting more pillows behind me lol xx
@clairee, @winterbaby95 thanks ladies! I never even thought about putting pillows behind my back, I always fall asleep on my side but always wake up on my back an it feels so heavy, but definitely going to do the pillow thing tonight xx
I do what @winterbaby95 suggested as I would often wake on my back. I did it all the time with my first. Like @clairee said babies fine it's more for us I think!
@lauramorg, definitely try the pillows behind you like @winterbaby95 says it helps and you'll probably find you wake up lying on them but at least your not flat on your back xx
It's really weird but I usually sleep on my sides no problem but I sometimes roll on my back at 28 weeks I don't feel uncomfortable or out of breath but I can sit back on my sofa and feel breathless and dizzy. X

Put some pillows behind you when laying on your side so you cant turn fully onto your back :) I use to do it to spread the weight a little :) xx
