Use pillows under your belly & between your legs & sleep on your left side.  You'll have to play around with the pillowd until u find a comfy position. I know what u mean though.  But when on your back it decreases blood flow to your baby

Yeah I heard its bad for the baby too:/ I always sleep on my back. I'm trying to get use to sleeping on my side. Try buying a body pillow.

My doctor said its bad for mommy and baby if you lay flat on your back she said as long as you have a slight tilt you should be fine.
