Sleeping On Back During Third Trimester
Hi All, I'm in my 7th month and I sleep on my back unknowingly during night. Not sure how to avoid it. Is it harmful for the baby if I sleep for a long time on the back? Kindly suggest.
By 3rd tri you should be sleeping on your sides preferably the left side but it's okay if you unknowingly slept on your back when you're asleep. Sleeping on your left side allows for optimal blood flow to your baby and also takes the pressure off your liver and your kidneys. This means more room to function properly, helping with swelling issues in your hands, ankles, and feet. Once you've noticed that you slept on your back, change your position to the left side.

Yes, try to sleep on your sides when you can. Sometimes I will turnover to my back too and once I realise that, I will switch to my sides. Can put a pillow behind your back to stop yourself from turning onto your back
