your ok on your back til you feel strange...

isnt it? cause i have been feeling ok on my back at the moment. or is it still doing damage even if you feel ok?

I always thought 20 weeks was the cut off for on your back - however I still keep rolling onto my back during the night regardless of what I do to try and stop it, so I'm not much help sorry!

My OB told me that usually you will instinctively move yourself with discomfort when it's not good. It's when you ignore that discomfort or if you're taking things to help with sleep that it can get dangerous.

Yup its fine. I was still on my back at around 36 weeks - until I felt a bit dizzy or like I was going to puke...

Your body knows what is good for it - so just move if you feel strange. Sometimes I could lie there for ages before feeling it.. sometimes I felt nothing at all.

Once it even woke me up cos I had rolled over and I thought I was going to puke - so I just rolled over onto my side and I was fine.

I have been wondering about this too coz I was told that if you're on your back in the night you'll instinctively move but sometimes I have a sore back in the day and lay down for a bit on my back and was wondering if I'd know if it was bad or not.

Another thing I didn't know! Can I be really dumb and ask why????
