waking up on my back

[volgirl19]

I know that I'm not supposed to sleep on my back due to lack of oxygen to baby and I dont start that way, but I always end up waking on my back... do any of you have that problem?  I'm 38 at 22 weeks....

I had that problem (I'm a back sleeper normally) I started to sleep with a big pillow at my back which helped. Then I gave in and got a pregnancy  pillow (from Amazon for about 50) I'm glad I did. It really helps.

Me, I talked to my Dr about that because I heard it was bad to sleep on your back and it seems like every time I wake up I'm on my back and usually I'm not a back sleeper I'm currently 20 weeks, she said it's ok now that's more for when I get bigger because the pressure

I have to sleep on my back propped up on 3 pillows. That's the only position I can sleep because my right arm keeps falling asleep.

I am 25 weeks and got Snoogle pillow at 24 weeks....I still roll to my back!

Need more back pillows to keep me from rolling or, I go to couch for a while

I did that for a while as well. Once my belly got bigger it became painful or felt like I was suffocating when on my back. Now the position that I fall asleep in, I wake up in.

Try tucking a pillow under your back to help keep you on your side. I sleep with 2 pillows, one on the left and right sides.
