Sleeping ?

kandmrod

Do I already have to start sleeping on my sides?  For the most part I always have but lately it has been hurting my shoulders so I was wondering if I can still have some time of sleep on my back.  I am not a belly sleeper so I am not worried about that part.  TIA.

We're not supposed to sleep on our backs?

Around your 16th week you should stop sleeping on your back because of the pressure your uterus will put on an artery (I believe). Conventional wisdom is to sleep on your sides?easy for me, as I'm already a side sleeper and cannot sleep on my back or stomach.

I read somewhere that in the first tri it's okay to sleep on your back unless it hurts or feels uncomfortable, then switch to your side.  I think belly is fine for now cos the baby is so nestled into the amniotic sac.  I sleep on my side with a body pillow cos my back gives me grief
