Is it ok to sleep on back with pillow propping up?

Have been having trouble sleeping cos want to sleep on my side. But I’m a natural back sleeper. I tried to put a pillow at the back to prevent myself from rolling backwards but I still do, but it’s like my body is sloped slightly due to the pillow at the right side. Is that ok? Or just be entirely sideways.. thanks!#pleasehelp #FTM

Sure. That's what I do all the time. Just try to change position to your side from time to time to get used to sleeping on your side. This is just so that you dont block blood circulation (your uterus is heavy and may put pressure on a vein on your back), but if your blood circulates fine, then no problem. But if you wake up feeling out of breath or dizzy, or numb somewhere, then you should definitely change your position. If this happens more than once then don't sleep like this anymore.
