When to stop sleeping on back pregnancy?
My bhabhi told me it's not good to sleep on your back when you're pregnant, especially later on. I'm three months pregnant now, so when is the actual time to stop sleeping on the back to be safe?

During pregnancy, every change is for the well-being of the new life. When the baby grows, sleeping on your back can press on vital energies. Listen to your body and your doctor's wisdom. Trust in divine guidance and their advice for comfortable sleep.
Yaar, my wife actually stopped around her fifth month, second trimester types. She said it just became super uncomfortable, like suffocating almost. So, your body will actually tell you, but docs generally say around 20 weeks to avoid it.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! It's usually advised to stop sleeping flat on your back from the second trimester, around 20 weeks. Just start trying to sleep on your left side more, maybe with a pillow under your bump for comfort. You'll get used to it!
Yes, second trimester is generally the time. Get a good body pillow.
Many pregnancy apps also track this! They usually recommend avoiding back sleeping after 20 weeks because of vena cava compression. Using a pregnancy pillow can help you stay on your side. It's all about optimizing blood flow for the baby.
