Okay so like before (a little while ago) I post about freaking out ebcause when I tried to sleep on my side like I was told i'd end up more towards my tummy so I was worried I was hurting the baby.... Thennnnn you guys told me to sleep on my side just putting pillows all around me so stay put and that worked for a little bit but told me not to sleep on my back well I found it uncomfy sleeping on my side and not tummy and now my body just changed to sleeping on my back! Am I hurting dylan I just start sleeping on my back without realizing it and I wake up that way too.... What do I dooooo?

Sad

I don't think it is anything you can control...After sleeping that way for 18 years....It's a hard habit to break...Dylan will be ok!!!!!

That is sooooooooo cute, and I know how you feel...Just suspecting that I may be possibly a tiny bit pregnant (even though, sadly, I am not I think), I was so scared to think of doing something that would hurt him/her! (flu shot), but i'm sure there are many women who sleep in a thousand different positions who have very healthy babies!

Nope you will be fine. After all it is not possible to control what position you move into when you are asleep.

Think about when people break a leg or something, when they sleep their body kinda self protects and doesn't move that side much.

Your body will self protect too and sleep however is comfy, when you aren't safe to lay on your belly lol you won't be able to cuz your bump will be in the way.

You know those pillow things you can get that are like a wedge - pop the shallow end under your belly and that helps, more often than not I sleep almost in the "recovery position" which is kinda half on side and half on belly.

Remember that you are not laying "on" the baby, cuz it is inside you not under you.

Laying on your left side helps increase blood flow to the uterus and improves respiration apparently.

But the most important thing is to be comforatable, when you are comfy and relaxed so is baby Laughing

big hugs jess

Its funny you mention that cause I was in the same situation last night. I couldnt get comfortable on my side the only way I got comfy was half on my tummy but isnt the sac a protector for the baby cause it is pretty hard.

Omg last night I didnt sleep at all I got off here and just layed around for hours.... Like paul and I have a king size bed but its like we have our "sides" and for the life of me I couldnt get comfy... Well when I rearranged the room like 2 weeks ago we put his side agianst the wall right? So I was like heck I have an idea to force me to sleep on my left side and stay on my side I will squiiiiisssshhhh myself (be locked in and all comfy in a sea of blankets) inbetween what he has left between himself and the wall... Bad idea!!! Well it was working fine and I was ooo comfy and he was so gone he didnt even know I was there hahah (seriously he leaves like 7 inches) so yeah comfy comfy comfy then out of no where I get this cramp but I realized I cant move haha so i'm wedged there cramping not being able to move then to top it off he had kicked his blanket off to the right so when he got cold he took all the blankets off me!!! While sleeping so now I am squished cold and cramping finally I just was like what the heck and gave him one good hard back kick in the leg.... Sure enough he moved! Hahah then like slightly woke up and was like what! Haha he literally thought he rolled over me or something then was all freaking out that he hurt me haahh I was like no I put myself here and i'm never doing it agian ( as there it like 4 ft of jsut empty space on my side hahah cold and blanketless)

so yes I am just gunna sleep any damn way I feel like it!

As long as dyllie agrees haha

Haha we have a king size bed too only every night I have to sleep like right up next to dusty cause he has to have this freakin fan blowing straight on us full blast and I always wake up freezing, he usually sleeps on his side facing the fan so I always cuddle up right against his back on his side of the bed so theres always like 4 or 5 extra feet of space on mine and he gets mad and is like get on your side of the bed and im like no not unless you turn off that stupid fan. Ha last night I got up in the middle of the night to go pee and when I came back I shut it off while he was sleeping, he didnt even wake up!

Your baby is protected inside of you by the fluid and the sac.You will not hurt him at all by lying in whatever position is comfortable for you.I know that you have almost no comfortable position now,so do what ever is comfortable!Patty

Jessa! I was like that tooo! So scared! But then my doctor told me its okay to sleep on ur sides. I asked him if I was hurting the baby and he said not at all. Maybe when your around 30something weeks, you'll be hurting urself, lol. But yeah, doctors say try to avoid sleeping on ur back on and on your right side. Your right side has like cells or something that your baby squishes and your back too. So try your hardest to sleep on ur left. Even if it ends up making your belly uneven Wink lol cuz mine is now
