sleeping on back?

At what point should I start not sleeping on my back?

It has something to do with getting blood to the heart, right?

    Yes, when you get bigger the weight of everything in there can restrict the flow... The magic number I heard was 4 months, but really it's just whenever it starts getting uncomfortable for you. Your body will let you know.

    Yeah right now I'm a all side sleeper. I roll around like nobody's business. I need to start strapping a pillow to my belly. Andale!

    I JUST started to get uncomfortable about 2 weeks ago. Your body will know when to do it on its own.

    Can't remember exactly but I started to break myself of the habit as soon as I could with my first.  Something you may want to try for comfort while sleeping is a body pillow called the snoogle.  It definitely helped as I got bigger.

    when your body tells you not to do it anymore.

    didn't happen up until the end for me. sleep however you can. as much as you can.

    I can still sleep on my back, my doctor knows about it, and he said that everything is fine.  Just go by what your body tells you.
