Sleeping on Back

Sleeping on Back

I know that I am no longer supposed to sleep on my back at 18 weeks. Every night I fall asleep on my side and I position pillows to try to prevent me from turning over.

But whenever I wake up I am on my back. Did anyone else have this problem?

I was told to sleep on my left side because that is best for the baby. Sometimes I would wake up on my right side or on my back.
My dr told me not to stress out over it, just to switch back over to my left side if it happens.

This happens to me all the time and my doctor said not to stress about it. I worried at first but what can you do. I just turn over when I find myself that way. My doctor suggested a body pillow.

My husband said the pillows are taking up the whole bed.

Thanks Ladies - it is good to know not to stress about it. I was going to ask my Dr. when I see him tomorrow night. But I feel better that at least if I try (when I am conscious ) I am doing all I can.
