Your really not supposed to sleep on your back much hun.

And this is why:


there is a main artery running down your back its called the ( inferior vena cava) which is the vein responsible for returning blood from the lower part of your body to your heart, and the pressure from laying on your back can slow the blood flow down and cause the baby to get less oxygen, cause hypotension or low blood pressure. It's okay if you wake up on your back, I used to do that alot. Just when you are awake, try to sleep on your left side with a pillow between your legs. That is the best position for both you and the baby. It allows maximum blood flow and nutrients to the placenta but also enhances efficient kidney function which in turn helps out with swelling in your feet, hands, and ankles. But please do not worry if you wake up this way..No harm done. Just switch positions when you find yourself doing that.

When I was pregnant with my girls I found the most comfy position was on my side, you get a v shaped pillow and cuddle the top half and put the bottom half through your legs, your top leg should then drape over the top of the pillow back on to the bed, this helps maintain circulation and also levels out the legs whilst supporting your belly.

I agree with mumof2 I liked it better on the side, plus I am a belly or back sleeper usually!! I love how all you girls know all these medical terms for everything..Good stuf!!

Yep sleepin on the back isnt supposed to be good for the baby. . I try to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees . .Thats supposed to help I guess.

I cant sleep on my back. I always put a pillow bettween my knees!

I like to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees too! Lol and if I dont have one, because jose kicks it off, I use joses leg! Lol
