My midwife told me that I could continue sleeping on my back my hole pregnancy as long as it is comfortable for me and that it doesn't make me get dizzy when I get up in the morning.

My PA said 20 weeks… and as long as you catch yourself sleeping on back and roll over to side you’re good!

I had a shoulder surgery at 20 weeks and they told me to sleep on my back with my shoulders elevated, I did the entire pregnancy since that shoulder is arthritic and I can't sleep on it.

I was so uncomfortable sleeping on my sides while pregnant. I slept on my back with a pillow wedged under my hip/back to angle my body.

I’m 36 weeks on Monday and only stopped falling asleep on my back at 33 weeks when we found the baby may be laying on the cord. The studies around this issue were small, not randomized, had no controls, and are really just not great studies. I still wake up on my back most of the time. It’s the most comfortable position for me.

I started as soon as I knew I was pregnant. Sleeping on my back was my go to so knew the habit would be hard to break. I still wake up on my back but just roll back.
