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…

I slept on my back with my last two. They’re ok. I do it with this one now too. Cute bump!!

My doctor told me that if it hurts don't do it and if it doesn't hurt it's fine and my body will let me know when to roll over. I slept on my back until around 30ish weeks. After that i could only last an hour before i woke up with a back ache.

I had this problem too, hubby had to remind me to sleep on side. My doctor said it can cause death inside the womb, so just becareful.

Love your ring lol

Same as nyra (pp)... my doctor said it was fine as long as I’m comfortable.

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.

Thanks @jael lol

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 for sharing those links Jay! I also heard it wasn't good but I had no idea the real risks so thank you again! ❤

No problem, hope it helped answer your concern. I never knew the real reason myself until a couple months ago.

I wanted to sleep on my back so badly when I was pregnant with my first. I ended up taking a flatter pillow and placing it slightly underneath me on one side so that I wasn’t completely flat on my back, just slightly tilted to the side and it was still comfortable.

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.
