  It's okay, my doctor said that usually my body will wake me up if I am not getting enough blood flow or it will have me roll on my side in my sleep.

  I asked my doctor about the same thing at my last appointment. She said try to at least stay "propped up" on your side (just a little pillow under your back). No need to be completely on your side. However, she also said that unless it is painful to be on your back, it is absolutley fine! If you become short of breath or have pain, then you need to work on keeping yourself on your side.

  Your body will let you know if it is not good for you as it will be uncomfortable to breathe. I wake up on my back all the time.

  My dr. said the same thing-you're body will let you know.

  This is exactly what my doc said. dh was waking me up when he found me on my back and I almost killed him. I would be getting great sleep and he would wake me up. The doc told him it was fine and that my body would wake me up.

  much to my delight.... when i asked my midwife about how i should be sleeping at my appointment yesterday she said...."I don't care how u sleep until u hit 28 weeks"...  then it's just trying to sleep on your left side with the aid of pillows as much as possible.

  I was waking up on my back all the time and worried, but I know it's ok. But, I have recently been sleeping a lot better with my new trick. While on my left side, I place a thin pillow under my belly, and well as wedge one up against and a little bit underneath my back, also, one between my knees. This has helped me to stay on my side, and it has actually been comfortable, the only gripe is that with that many pillows, it gets HOT!

  My doctor has said the same as much of the other posters on here.  Your body will let you know and not to worry unless you feel out of breath or dizzy.
