Almost fainting while laying down.

I'm 13+2 weeks pregnant and if i lay on my back i feel like im going to pass out, the only way i can get comfortable is on my left side and my muscles are killing me from not being able to alternate my possition. I've heard of this happening heaps later in pregnancy but not this early. Am i the only one?

??? please tell me if this is normal.

Is ur tummy pretty big already? Laying on your back while pregnant lets all the wieght shift to your chest cavity compressing your lungs so u cants breathe well. Try propping pillows around you like a wedge under half your back so you can shift weight That way but not be flat, also sleeping ina recliner is really comfy

Two doctors already told me that fainting period is not okay. So you should check with your doctor @newmummy_5

@newmummy_5 yeah that shouldn't be good. They told me if I faint again to go to the ER. Have they done any blood tests on you?
