It's true, we have a big vein (inferior vena cava) that brings blood back to the heart in the back of our abdominal organs. Blood flow might be impeded by the growing uterus that's why it is not advisable to sleep on our back or to lie on our back for a long period of time by the second trimester. You can place a pillow under your right hip to prevent you from rolling onto your back while you sleep. Hope this answers your question. :)
Sometime during the second trimester, the baby and uterus get big enough to put pressure on one of your major veins or arteries when you are on your back. It can cause complications. I prop a pillow behind my back to keep from rolling over onto it.
I'm only 12 weeks and I already can't sleep on my back or stomach. I sleep side to side lol
Yes correct no laying on back you have w better blood flow with the left side
After a certain point yes it is bad to sleep on your back. Plus for me at least when I get big and lay on my back I almost black out from it cutting on blood flow. As for your right side it is best to sleep on your left but it's still fine to lay on your right.
#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep! Please ask @nurturingsleepsolutions anything by tagging her in the comments below. And a big thanks to @nurturingsleepsolutions for participating in this chat!

Thanks ladies.
I tend to sleep mostly on my left side, but sometimes I just get so tired of sleeping that way that my arm starts to hurt a little and I get uncomfortable.
