Is it safe to sleep on my side on my back and on my stomach?? I don’t have a noticeable bump so I’m curious if it’s safe…

If you do sleep on your back prop yourself up a bit

Don’t lay on your back. Can cause problems with your breathing and blood pressure. Left side is the best. I partially sleep on my side/stomach. Not on purpose I’m just a stomach sleeper. Sucks.

I sleep however I’m comfortable ... I’m 31 weeks && I been sleeping on my back on and off because it happens when I’m sleep and I don’t notice it ... my doctor said as long as I don’t have difficulty breathing or feeling dizzy it’s okay !! Cause if I can’t breath then the baby can’t breath either ... my stomach , I caught myself a few times sleeping on my stomach ... but I don’t purposely do it ... I slept on my stomach until about 25 weeks

When I was induced, I was rolled from side to side and on my back. But the nurse couldn’t leave me on my back long because my daughters heart rate was dropping. I was 37 weeks, but at a certain point laying on my back made me feel sick (can’t remember when) I just wouldn’t lay on your back. But I laid on my stomach until it wasn’t comfortable any more.

The weight of your uterus presses on the major vein that returns blood from your lower body to your heart. Lying on your back for an extended period of time could make you feel dizzy. It could also interfere with the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta and the baby.

I was advised after week 20 to no longer sleep on my back only on my sides or in a sitting position because it puts too much pressure on the uterus which can affect the baby

@kirstin678, why not on the back?

You can sleep how you want for as long as it’s comfortable, except for on your back.

Wouldn’t lay on your back
