Soemthing weird just happened 😮

Don’t fret, you’re ok now. Lying on your back may compress a major blood vessel that takes blood to your uterus, making you feel dizzy and possibly reducing blood flow to your fetus.

will I be ok? Baby is moving. I’ve never done that before I’ve hardly been sleeping and this time I slept what I thought was doing well and this happened now I’m worried to sleep 🤷

You will be fine now as the blood flow has returned . Your body woke you for a reason so don’t worry , it will wake you every time. Try to sleep on your side that’s all x

usually i do. I fell asleep on my side I don’t know how I ended up on my back 🙈 I hope the baby’s ok 🙈. I’m 39 weeks he’s moving. I’m so paranoid I’m sorry 😔. Never had this before xx

quoted from NHS website; “Do not worry if you wake up on your back – the research looked at the position pregnant people fell asleep in, as this is the position we keep for longest. If you wake up on your back, you can just turn over and go to sleep again on your side.”

Just monitor your baby movements for assurance. Drink water and lay on the side 😊 my OB mentioned as ling as I feel the movement it should be good

The body is an amazing thing - the advice is to sleep on your side as the back restricts blood flow to baby but it sounds like your body woke you up before anything happened. Just keep an eye on it and if you’re really worried, you can always call triage. Do not worry though - you need your sleep at this stage and sounds like baby is doing fine! You’ve got this mumma ❤️

So sorry, I fell back asleep! Yes you’ll be fine, I often wake up on my back. It’s all about how you go to sleep as others have said ☺️
