Keep waking up on my back
Hi Ladies,
I've never slept on my back, always slept on my side but in the last 2 weeks I keep waking up on my back! I know you're not supposed to, but I can't seem to stop it!
I'm 28 weeks - would I wake myself up of it's a major problem?

Its all about blocking blood returning to ur heart which can make u feel funny but its more of a 'try not to' thing xxx
I am 38 weeks and can still lie on my back - although I don't for the above reason! - and it's really not uncomfortable. There's a major vein, the inferior vena cava, that runs down your spine and some pregnant ladies find that when they lie on their back it puts pressure on the vein, making them feel very sick and dizzy, but if there was pressure being put on it you would know as it's a pretty instant feeling from what I gather.
Anyway, the long and short of it is that it's not really a problem so I'd just enjoy sleeping on your back while you still can, if it's comfy! xx
I have the same problem in trying to stay on my side, sleeping on your left is meant to be much better for mum and baby too.

It makes you feel sick and light headed; just like you would feel when you were about to faint. With me happens within a few minutes and if i roll onto my back in the night i'll wake up because of it.
So i would say just sleep in the position in which you feel most comfortable and if your body doesnt like it, it will let you know! x
