I'm new to this but Im kinda scared of being a new mom and not knowing what to do..

I wake up every morning fretting that I slept on my back too long! (I sometimes pass out mid-turn.) What's more scary for you: the now or the after?

Me too mama. But we're probably doing the best we can and sadly from what mommys say the worrying doesn't stop here. It's part of our new job 😓✨

@pixi3mama, I totally understand that feeling. Online they do say don't sleep this way or that way but ultimately if you're not in pain the baby isn't. If you feel congested or your breathing gets short when you're on your back that's when you need to roll over. I wouldn't worry to much mama unless your doctor insists its bad 😌

@avie Thanks! I keep getting that consensus <3

@pixi3mama @izzysmommy2017 @avie @mommierene worrying is the job however your mother instincts will click in on everything as far as sleeping on your back it is hard not to but your body has it's way of telling you, you need to roll over and sometimes it might freak you out that you woke up on your back but all is fine

@izzysmommy2017 Thanks. I did have to read a few articles to feel a little better about it. I tend to hurt more sometimes if I sleep on my sides....leg/hip pain

@pixi3mama its a little bit of both.. I'm so use to sleeping on my tummy that in the middle of the night I wake up and I'm having to roll over really fast because Im on it.. it's hard to sleep on my back and side. If I laybon my back to long my lower back starts to hurt.

@izzysmommy2017 I try to put pillows and rolled up covers behind me, so if I am on my back, I'm usually at an angle. Perhaps the same method would work for you?

@avie I try not to scare myself when I think something happens. but your right it's just the start of worrying

@asunaking15 it does worry me when I wake up and I'm in a different spot, because I don't remember moving, I guess my body knows more then what I thought.

@izzysmommy2017 your body does know more than we think and if you need to invest in getting a body pillow to help

@izzysmommy2017 this is the one I bought this pregnancy because I get really bad sciatica nerve pain in one leg and it's been like that since my last pregnancy so it helps with my sleeping and it can make sleeping on your side more comfortable

@asunaking15 I might have to. I'm tired of my back hurting because I can't sleep right

@asunaking15 thank you I'll look into it

@izzysmommy2017 it is different kinds but I have this one personally and love it
