Honey, at this point whatever is comfy, is
the best. You won't hurt him. I promise.
All though it is best to sleep on your
left side cause the baby gets the most
oxygen that way. Don't worry he will be
fine, it's soo cute that you are worried.
You are going to be a good mommy!!!

I don't think there is any risk in fact
later on it's one of the only positoins
that you will be able to get into haha.
The only thing is that later on the bigger
the baby gets the more you will feel like
you are suffacating when you sleep on your
back, cause there is baby everywhere!!! I
don't think there is any risk. When I was
preggy my doc said to sleep what ever way
I was most comfy but to just try to sleep
on my left side as much as possible. You
will be fine hon I promise he is so well
protected inside anyway that unless you
are like jumping up and down on your belly
you won't hurt him.

The only risk of you sleeping on your back
is cutting off air to the baby. When you
sleep on your back your stomach weightd
presses down on the inferior vena cava
(the lower main vein that bring blood to
your heart) and doesn't allow as much
blood through. Thereford less blood gets
to you and the baby. You have to ask your
doc how much risk it's causing. This is
all I know.
