lying on your back not ok??

[nicki_fin]

FTM and I read somewhere that we shouldn't lie on our backs after a certain point. Does that mean sleep, for extended periods of time? Or don't do it even for short periods like lying down to read a book?? Or to have sex? ;)

I was told to elevate for sleeping but your body will tell you if you have to switch positions.

The only way i can sleep is on my back and i am 28 wks and i have sex on my back and any other way lol

I was wondering the same thing. It's so comfortable sleeping on my back.

Don't worry, sleep however you feel comfortable. That's what my doc told me. I slept on my back, alot throughout my pregnancy esp the 3rd trimester because I couldn't sleep on my sides with huge belly. And I had sex on my back too. Nothing happend to my baby, she is born 10 lbs & 6oz healthy baby girl. Don't stress!

My dr told me once I hit about 20 weeks to not lay on my back for longer than 5 minutes. The weight of your baby and uterus on a major blood vessel stops blood flow to the baby. When I have sex i just put a pillow under my back or do a different position. Believe me once you get bigger you can't have sex in your back anyway, very difficult
