laying on back during pregnancy

You will start to feel uncomfertable sleeping on your backif it's cutting off any circulation. At four months, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I get so unomferable at night that it frustrates me beyone words sometimes. I wish I could get a pregnancy body pillow. The wrap around ones don't look too comfertable.

I used to be perfectly content with laying on my side. The thing it the baby likes to lay on whatever side I'm laying on, and whenever I move, she ends up moving a few moments later. Sometimes she gets herself into positions that are very umcomfertable for me. . . like right up against my bladder or my stomach.

Somehow I manage to sleep and wake up in some strange positions. However, the sleep usually isn't as restful and plentiful as I would like.

okay thank you. i'll probably do it until it gets uncomfortable to lay on my back. So how far along are you? so your having a girl?

Sleeping on your back: This can cause problems with backaches, breathing, digestive system, hemorrhoids, low blood pressure and decrease in circulation to your heart and your baby. This is a result of your abdomen resting on your intestines and major blood vessels (the aorta and vena cava).

I found that on a website^^ Its usually hard for me to get comfortable too. Im 19 weeks. I usually end up falling asleep on my right side because for some reason my ribcage bothers me when i lay on my left side. If I sleep on my back I wake up short of breath, and sometimes this happens when I sleep on my right side too. I think its fine to sleep on your back as long as you dont feel uncomfortable. Your body will tell you when you need to change positions.

I also will be 4 months monday, and I think its more of a discomfort to lay on your back/stomach then anything else

i still lay on my back and i'm in my 6th month! my doc said it's ok as long as nothing goes numb! and that if i feel any numbness i should roll over to my left side!

My husband is a medic and he said that it can cut off the blood supply to the baby :0 I slept on my back until I was like 7 months pregnant because I didn't know I wasn't suppose to and my son has developmental delays.

You can lie on your back with a pillow/wedge cushion or something under your right hip, this will prevent you from putting pressure on your aorta (major artery that runs from your brain to your baby).
