I wake up on my back EVERYFREAKINGTIME!
I have a body pillow, like 6 regular pillows, and a husband who takes up most of the bed and STILL wake up on my back. I make an effort to sleep on my sides but end up on my back. And what sucks is my sleep is so good...sigh, not sure what to do but my question is, how come it's bad ( I know the medical reason) for me to sleep on my back but when you're on bed rest or in labor it's perfectly fine?! Grrrr okay done venting! LOL

I spent one night of clinicals in nursing school in the labor and delivery department. For the one delivery I got to actually be a part of, the RN kept having me go to the patient's room and prop her up on her side with a pillow. We just shoved the pillow under a hip and it alleviates pressure on the vena cava (big blood vessel). Then the patient would move around and the pillow would shift, the RN would be watching the fetal monitors, and tell me to go back and do it again! I did that several times throughout the night.
so this will be long hahah @babymaxisontheway I LOVE the name Max, I would call him Maximus all the time haha- and yeah I'm just starting to feel Leora, it's like bubbles poping in stomach so weird, I can sleep on my stomach too but it's starting to get uncomfortable @rockinmomma I'm gonna try my hardest to stop since I'm getting close, although I haven't woke up dizzy or anything yet, don't want anything to start happening like that, but still you made me feel better about it @mrsmom how far along are you? I haven't reached that point where it makes me feel weird, but I think I'm gonna get one of those preggo pillows that supports your front and back so that it makes me stay on my side @katiemcmillan12 that's my issue too! I just can't help it I guess and I have a full body pillow too and it does nothing to help @ghettobetty thanks! that's good to hear, I figure my body will tell me whats good and what's not @jenzoe1 my husband sleeps like a freaking log unless I'm tossing and turning lol-I guess I'm gonna have to make a better effort @lilbabythree you have guts I must say! lol- but I'm sure it is worth it but so many little ones you better sleep allll the time that you can, congrats! at least you know they will all leave the house about the same time haha @Kylee1135 OMG! I'm glad everything is okay, that's scary, I need to take more care than @BOWsMommy makes sense to me, I'm trying I guess not good enough but I will try to make a better effort that's for sure, that must have been frustrating to do that over and over again, but you're obviously a good person Sorry so long guys, its too hard to type all this on my phone so I end up waiting until I can get on my laptop. Congrats to all the fellow preggos!!! :X
