So I’m 21wks and can not stop sleeping on my back ! I keep hearing it’s bad for me, but I can’t help it. I got a pregnancy pillow that didn’t help and even when I try to sleep on my side I wake up on my back. With my first, back sleeping was very uncomfortable so I stayed on my side but with this one it’s the opposite! Anyone know if sleeping on my back will cause problems for the baby?
I also heard it was unsafe but I had the same exact issue. With my first sleeping on my back was very uncomfortable, my side was so much better. With my second I’d ALWAYS wake up on my back. I’d even have my pregnancy pillow in between my legs and try and get super comfy before I fell asleep. I’d wake up with my pillow on top of me and I was on my back, it freaked me out wondering how long I was like that.. I did it ALOT literally every night... I couldn’t help it since I didn’t know. But I just had my babygirl Noa a little over a week ago and she came out perfect. Literally nothing at all wrong with her and a great delivery. I wouldn’t worry yourself too much...
Thanks ladies I really appreciate it. I think it’s worth mentioning to my doctor. At this point I’m ONLY comfortable in my back so I’m hoping she doesn’t think it’s a problem.
It can be only dangerous for the baby,because the blood flow slows down and baby doesn't get enough blood/oxygen.But that doesn't happen often so you just need to be careful and control your babies heartbeat and movements.
