Sleeping on your back during pregnancy

Urgh.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my friend was saying the other day that sleeping on your back can be dangerous for the baby.

I'm a natural back-sleeper. I googled and right enough - Tommys says it is increases the risk of stillbirth.

But....this is out of my control! I have been forcing myself to sleep on my left hand side (which isn't very comfortable for me) but several times in the night I wake up in a flap because I am on my back again! I can't stop myself rolling onto my back!

Whyyyy is it all so hard?!

Oh my god. I want a pregnancy pillow exactly like that picture and I'm not even pregnant!

29 weeks pregnant. Woke in a panic this morning - I was on my back! I know I went to sleep on my left side as woke several times after some odd dreams....and was still on my left side.
This morning...I woke as I could hear myself snoring... I was on back. I am hoping I was on my back for minutes only.
Should I be worried ?
