Laying on your back while pregnant? I’ve heard so many different things & just want a clear answer.

I never did it just to be safe 😂

Um they told me it’s okay as long as u don’t lay too long on your back... I would go to sleep on my side and wake up on my back.. sometimes putting a pillow behind my back n leaning on it helped..

I was always propped up by a dozen pillows lol. I had to change positions a lot because of how uncomfortable I was especially towards the end. It’s like I swallowed a basketball. I always had a pillow between my legs though. I still even do that to this day and you can put a pillow under your belly while laying on your side. If you haven’t got one of those body pillows you’re missing out cause that was a god send for me

I was told to try not to do it so much and that it would end up becoming a habit to lay on my side because of comfort, but laying on my back is still my comfy position. I lay on my sides as much as I can and throughout the night when I wake up I’ll end up on my back and have to move to my side. Almost 33 weeks and I still feel more comfortable on my back, but I do move to my side when I’m aware of it. My doctor said it’s better for blood flow for the baby. I tried a body pillow and I hated it. Everyone’s different, just try laying on your side when your aware of it just to be safe. Goodluck(:

@olga.contreras13, agreed, I always want to be on my back so putting a few pillows behind you will help so your not fully on your back. Especially if you love sleeping on your back like me. The sides are torture 😭

I love sleeping on my stomach! Lol but the whole putting a pillow under stomach never worked for me... I’d get to scared or worried lol

My doctor told me to lay/ sleep how ever you feel comfortable. Your body will know when you need to switch.

@selena_vargas119334, I do the same and feel the same way as u

My back kills me when I try to so I just don’t.

I still do but with a pillow under me so I wont be flat on my back.

There's nothing wrong with that

Thank you all. 💗
