3rd trim sleep on back

Any mummies slept on their back @ 3rd trimester and nothing bad happened? Some days i cant help but to sleep on my back just so i can get longer & more comfortable sleep. As sleeping on my sides, i will tend to get stomach cramps due to weight of the tummy and sometimes shoulder pain. Or sometimes i sleep on either side but woke up to sleeping on my back. (Pls dont recommend me pregnancy pillow) #FTM

my doc never asked me to not sleep on my back. He just said that since ur tummy is growing bigger sleeping on back will put more pressure and u will not be comfortable. So I think there is no harm sleeping on your back on and off for a couple of hours as long as u feel comfortable
