laying down while pregnant

Is it true that if you lay flat on your back the cord could wrap around the babys neck?? Im 30 weeks and im so nervous on laying on my back

When i went to get a massage. She put a pillow under my right side so i could lay on my back but it kept me at an angle to keep the blood flowing. I feel most comfortable in my back, so it was nice finding a way that i could. Maybe you could try it?(:

Ok than you guys i try not to but sometimes i wake up on my back

When you lay in your back, the weight of your uterus is pressing down on two major blood vessels in your back. I was told that it's dangerous because of the vessels and it could cause little to no blood flow and it could be fatal for you and baby, so I avoid laying in my back just to be safe.

No, it puts pressure on the chord and can cut off oxygen supply to your baby

No it won't. When u go to dr ur on ur back when ur in labor ur on ur back. Its supposed to jus deal with the oxygen supply that goes to u and ur baby. I kno if I wake up on my back it does seem a lil harder to breath

It really shouldn't though.. Since the amniotic fluid plays a role for the cord just so it won't wrap or get squished by the baby

Woah.. I hope not. I just turned to my side as soon as I read this lol.
