Talk to Gynecologist on Can I Sleep On My Back In Pregnancy

person-avatar

Asking For Self, Female 22, lahore

my 1st trimester is about to finish. my doctor never told me not to sleep on my back but i have heard from others that it is harmful.

i guess it is harmful when you are in your last trimester? right? because of baby bump and heavy weight.

however, right now i don't have a baby bump or weight as such.

guide me do's and don't's please.

you are right, but if you take left side, it improves babys blood circulation. you can change sides as well. no issue

It is not harmful in the 1st trimester but eventually it is harmful when the baby grows so my advice is that dont sleep upside down because it is harmful for your backbone also.
