Sleeping

How bad is it that I wake up on my back all the time? I fall asleep on the left side and always roll over when I wake up but it's so hard! Is it really bad???? How do you make sure you sleep right? There is no more room in my queen bed for more pillows. It's me the dog and my 6'4" 250 lb. DH.

I usually falll asleepp on the couch and I put pillows behind me so it's not that easy to roll over, but somehow I still wind up on my back too

Re: Sleeping

my doctor said its totally natural to wake up on your back. Just roll over back onto your side. He didnt seem concerned at all

Re: Sleeping

I always wake up on my back. I usually have pillows all around me and it still doesn't help. Oh well.

Re: Sleeping

I slept on my back until it became uncomfortable which wasnt until about 30 weeks. My dr assured me it was fine as my BP was good and I was feeling good, she said the most important thing was for me to sleep.

Re: Sleeping

I almost always woke up on my back through most of the pregnancy. I discussed it with my doctor and she said that it was OK. As you get bigger, you'll realize that you will spend a lot less time on your back.

I sleep on the couch now, so I'm always on my side...

Thanks girls. I feel a little better now. I will just mention it to my doctor on Monday. I guess if it were doing anything that bad I would not feel so comfortable.
