anyone still sleeping on their back?

This is my second pregnancy, I'm 20 weeks, and I cannot for the life of me sleep on my side. I've tried and I've used the pillows and nothing is working. Things turned out okay with ds, so it is what it is I guess. Wondering if anyone else is going to be a back-sleeper as well. I keep trying to convince myself that it's okay.

All of this. I'm normally a stomach sleeper, but I've been making every effort to sleep on my left side. I start out there with a pillow between my legs, but I'll wake up feeling like I'm still putting too much pressure on my stomach or I'll wake up on my back. Just doing my best!
I sleep however I am comfortable. I finally got DD to sleep through the night when she was 17 months old - I'm going to get a good night of sleep now before the new baby comes. If it means I'm on my back then I'm on my back
I usually lie on my side/tummy with one leg propped up on a pillow. I can't sleep on my tummy now, so it's sort of at an angle where my stomach isn't being squashed. This position is going to kill my back later on in the pregnancy, so I'm just enjoying it for now.
I'm a back sleeper. With DD I slept mainly on my back up until the morning I went into labor with her and never had a single problem--no lightheadedness or anything.
I usually go to sleep on my side, but I wake up on my back and MH tells me when he gets up I'm usually on my back. I'm not worried about it.
Yes! It is the only way I can get comfortable. I am usually a stomach sleeper and I do not really like sleeping on my side. I will ask my OB tomorrow at my appointment what she thinks. I am assuming she will say whatever is comfortable, do it.
I woke up this morning flat on my back despite the plethora of pillows and support in front, in back, above, below, and in between.....
Guess my body will move how it wants to when I am sleeping!
I wish!! I roll onto my back and it's more comfortable for about 10 minutes, and then it starts getting super uncomfortable and a bit painful, so I have to sleep on my side.
I think it's fine to sleep on your back as long as it's comfortable. I've heard that your body will tell you when it's time to stop.
My doctor says the same thing: That you would wake up, unable to breathe, before it hurts the baby and not to stres.
I do, and a lot of times even if I sleep on my side I wake up on my back. I heard that you'll wake up if you're not supposed to be on your back but I get scared because I'm a really heavy sleeper!!
I put a pillow on each side and go back and forth all night. I don't sleep great, I am a back sleeper normally but I just can't do it, it makes me too nervous. Though I have to say, the longer I do the side thing the more and more I am getting used to it....but it does take some time. I got my info from the American Pregnancy Association website so that is what I am following.
Another idea might be a recliner if you have one to avoid being completely flat.
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
