How bad is it if I end up sleeping on my back for more than an hour? My doctor mentioned I shouldn't be on my back for more than 1 hour, is there a reason why?
apparently it can put pressure on blood vessels, organs etc, but in general you body works that out and you'll roll over automatically if theres a problem
I try to sleep on my sides but my legs go to sleep. Most nights I wake up on my back and then I move. I think my body knows when I have had enough sleep time on my back. I also wedge a pillow down my right side to prevent completely being on my back.
I think I might be putting a lot of pressure on myself which has become really straining during my sleep. I guess I hardly sleep at night now because I am way too conscious of how I sleep. I also use a wedge pillow to support my back so I don't end up sleeping on my back, but obviously it isn't working very well because I end up sleeping on my back. So now, I will let my body tell me when it is enough from the back. In the mean time, I will go to bed on my sides. Hopefully this will do the trick so that I catch some sleep and getting ready for delivery!
What's the benefit of sitting on a fit-ball or on a backwards-facing chair? I'm not really doing anything in regards to positions - mostly just slouching around on the lounge or sitting at the computer waiting, waiting, waiting...
I still lay on my back all the time but I can never fall to sleep unless I am on my side. Lately I have started getting this aching pain if I lay on my right side but if I sleep on my left then its fine! I know my bub is on my right side and facing head down so I think this is why my right side starts aching after a while but I just do what I feel comfortable doing!
