sleeping?

I keep worrying constantly about the way I sleep, I sleep on my left side with a pillow between my legs and under my stomach but my back hurts so much I need to sleep on my back but is that bad for the baby ?

I'm preg with my fourth and I've literally slept flat on my back throughout every pregnancy.

They say the further you are in pregnancy if you lay on your back when sleeping it slows the blood flow to the baby and can be dangerous. I usually do pillow between legs and under stomach and wedge one under my back for support also propping yourself up is ok too when wanting to be on your back. Just dontever lay flat. Hope this helps:)
