My vulva has been swollen for the past month or so. Sometimes it's so painful I can barely walk. I think it's because baby is pretty low. God bless!

Try sitting up half way while sleeping. Prop pillows behind you and get comfortable. It'll help blood flow and you'll breath better too. So you won't wake up with swollen uvula.

You are right you are not supposed to sleep on your back as it puts pressure on the organs n cuts down blood supply to baby

I didn't think you were supposed tolay on your back that much being pregnant. I always slept on my sides even when I'm not pregnant

That happened to me its because baby is cutting off blood flow. I was laying on my side when it happened it was kinda painful for a whole day. My doc said its normal try not to lay on your sides
