Sleeping troubles
I read something on the internet that mentioned you shouldn't sleep flat on your back, after reading that I been trying really hard to avoid laying on my back. Is it okay to lay on your back? I know you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet... I'm 21 weeks on Dec. 4th.
I sleep on my back but put a pillow under one side of my back so that way im not completely on my back since its hard for me to breathe like that
It's not recommended just because the pressure of the baby and placenta can put stress on a major artery supplying blood to the baby. I would double check what gestation though that this is recommended. Generally though as you get bigger laying on your back isn't comfortable anyway.
Im 30 weeks and always sleep on my back. Once ur propped up wit a couple of pillows its ok
Try being on you back but putting a couple pillows under one side so your kinda tilted it helps me sleep an is actually comfortable
