There is a major artery that brings blood to your baby. If you sleep on your back, specifically in your third trimester, your uterus can cut of that circulation. Not to worry if you randomly wake up on your back, its just not good to do all…

Is it safe to sleep on your back when you are pregnant?

Q:

A: I had a hard time sleeping when I was pregnant so any sleep I could get was good, no matter what the position. Early in your pregnancy sleeping on your back isn’t much of a big deal. I did and me and my babies (2 children, 2 pregnancies) were fine. When I got farther into the pregnancy Sleeping on my back was just plain uncomfortable. Go with what works for you as getting your rest is the most important thing right now, if you have concerns then talk to your doctor. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and happy sleeping.

Why can’t you sleep on your back or right side when pregnant?

Q: I’ve just asked “is it safe to sleep on your tummy?” Some answes said, not sleep on the right or back, why is this? Thanks x

A: You can’t sleep on your back because your uterus pushes down on a vital blood vessel and cuts off blood flow to your lower body and possibly the baby.You can sleep on your right side, but your blood flow is best if you lay on your left. It’s fine to sleep on your right side if you need to switch sides.

What positions are safe when you are pregnant?

Q: I am wondering what positions it is unsafe to sleep in while you are pregnant. I am 7 months pregnant. I sleep on my side, slightly leaning on my belly, and I ly on my back and I am not sure if either of those positions are safe or not. My friend told me it was fine because the infant is protected, but when I slept on my back I woke up with minor back pain. If you know of any positions that would be more comfortable or any positions that are unsafe. Thank you very much for your input.

A: However you are comfortable is fine to sleep… Your body will let you know if you are going to hurt your baby by laying or sleeping a certain way. I’m 38 weeks and ready to pop with a huge belly and a huge baby and I still sleep on my back b/c that’s how I’m comfortable (supposedly a big no no!)… I can also sleep basically on my stomach if I put a pillow under half of my body… If it’s unsafe, your body will make you change positions before anything bad happens.
