yep!! sure does.. if i lay on my back now i end up in soooo much pain..cramps and stuff galor! if u are propped up on pillows behind ur back and head then ur not laying flat on ur back so it wont be a problem. its usually only if u are flat on ur back that it can reduce the blood flow to bub because of the weight bub puts on a arterie i think (someone correct me if im wrong)...
thats what ive been doing lately and the thing is i never liked sleeping on my front at all, but now whenever i wake up thats how i am and it seems thats how im most comfortable. I was worried i was squashing my bean, but its more my boobs that are getting crushed haha
I was told by my OB to sleep on my side from 20 weeks onwards. Can't remember why he said not to sleep on tummy but back was the biggest no no as it can restrict a main artery and (very rarely) restrict the blood flow to bubs. It can also make you dizzy when you try to get up out of bed.
