13 weeks and back sleeping

[Abombflower]

im 13 weeks which obviously is still quite early so I’m not sure if the advice not to sleep on your back really applies yet but asking anyway!

I always go to sleep on my side but I end up on my back and I’m a bit concerned as I have no control over this and I know in the second and third trimester this is not recommended.

Would a pregnancy pillow help this? Do I need to be concerned about back sleeping at 13 weeks?

thanks!

Don’t worry until I think around 28 weeks. And when you get heavily pregnant I find that I just can’t sleep on my back as it’s so uncomfortable.

i bought a massive pregnancy pillow which is great and very comfortable until I got very heavily pregnant and found I got too hot plus because it’s so comfortable and secure you’re more likely to end up on your back.

now at 36 weeks I use two normal pillows to cuddle …one for my arms and one for my legs and because there is no support on my other side I don’t end up sleeping on my back

How long has this advice been about. I had 4 kids years ago never heard of this before.

I’m FTM so don’t know but midwife and literature you’re now given says there is a link between still birth and laying on your back.
I think there is a lot of scaremongering
