I've layed on my back most of my pregnancy. When I lay on my side my daughter isn't comfortable she will continue to kick and jab me till i go on my back. I've tried the pregnancy pillow and that helped a ltitle. So maybe try getting one of those

If you are comfortable while you're on your back then it's okay. But if it hurts then you need to sleep in your side. I just went to the dr with my friend the other day and she asked her dr.

I'm 39 weeks 1 day. I lay on my back for a couple minutes to help with the back pain. But definitely not smart to stay on your back! Even though it's so much more comfortable :)

I'm 38 weeks and I lie on my back sometimes :)
Once you start to feel sick I'd roll over!

Laying flat on your back is worse than laying in your right side. I do sometimes but only for like a minute to help with back pains. Ask your doctor they'll be able to explain it better. You can lay on your back if you're back is elevated
