Avoiding back sleeping already?
Hi girls
Ive read from the third trimester you’re meant to avoid sleeping on your back, but i wondered if any of you have been doing this already? I’ve also heard conflicting things about what side is best to sleep on - some saying left and some saying either is fine - what are you guys doing? Thank you! x

I've started getting into the habit because I sleep in all positions! It's been hard. I do usually start off on my left and then change around but trying to stay in the same position has been a challenge
I’ve read you should avoid back sleeping from around 16 weeks so I’ve been trying to stay on my side but struggling! My hips get sooo uncomfortable x
Same here! Have been trying to get used to sleeping on my side, I’m already using a pillow between my knees which helps relieve aches and pains in the night! 🙂
Trying on the left too but wake up on my back 80% of the time

I’m trying to get used to sleeping on the left ( left better than right as your major organs stay on the left when sleeping on the right they lean towards other organs and even if not pregnant is recommended sleeping to the left ) I am right sleeper 😂 so waking up when moving one side to another trying not to jump turn as normal rather than slowly with hand pushing not belly muscles 😂
