Is it safe to sleep on your back after 20 wks? I'm 20 wks 4 days

    I was told it was safe til the third trimester. After that the baby lays against a nerve in your back that will give you severe pain.

    i would check with your doctor. I asked my doctor and she said because of my size i was fine, but I know others who do not suggest it because it can potentially cut the blood flow to your and the little one.

    It just recently started bothering me and I'm almost 28 wks. You will know when not to, my legs cramp up when I roll on my back at night

    I would ask but I suggest if you can still do it then do it for as long as possible! Trust me once you cant anymore it sucks and soon sleeping on your sides will hurt too so if your like me you will wake up 5+ times a night just to switch sides
