Hi,

This is a different perspective on sleeping on your back from my dr.
I checked this with my ob last appt (i'm now 28 weeks) and he said sleep wherever you're comfortable. He said you're body will naturally want to sleep on your back at some point and that if there does happen to be a problem with the vena cava (which he said is highly unlikely) that you will most certainly know, and simply change position to your side and all will be good. he said there's a lot of exaggeration about this topic.

I also read in one pregnancy mag about this that it was a no-no from 20 weeks and it was then also covered in a mag the same month in a article on myths about pregnancy saying it was ok.

So basically who knows!!!!

ps, i've slept on my back on and off from the beginning and have had no concerns.
