lying on your back

I always go to sleep lying on my back but recently I've found it harder to breathe when I lie on my back to sleep. this happen to anyone else?

It can, if baby is on your lungs. I can feel it sometimes.

they say your not supposed to sleep on your back in pregnancy, why i dont know as i always slept on my back with both of my pregnancies and it never did me or my boys any harm! Only thing was i snored more due to the pressure of baby so DP was forever waking me to get me to roll over haha!! Another thing they say is to not sleep on your belly - another thing i would do!

As long as your comfy, sleep however, the bigger baby gets the more out of puff you will get - you will wanna pass out after walking up a few steps lol! its all the joys of pregnancy

thanks! I'm glad you mentioned that as I've never been the sporty type but have normally been able to go on hill walking etc once a while and I was worried if I was getting really unfit as I'm out of breath after i've been up the two flights of stairs in our house and normally they're fine! I walk to work and I'm usually knackered after the 20 min walk! I've just bought a pregnancy yoga dvd so I can allay my fears of being the unfittest person ever!!

the amount of times id take my eldest son to bed and after the walk up the stairs id have to sit on his bed with my head between my legs as id felt so dizzy after gettin so out of puff lol! and then once baby begins to drop you can breath again but then the peeing every 2mins sets in! you cant hold your bladder at all yet when you go you find you have more saliva in your mouth than what you pee out lol!! All the best hun, its all worth it in the end xx
