Prenessa, the best advise i got and the advise i will give to every new mommy is not not read up to much - the more you read the more you stress and stress is not good for your baby.
just go with it and remember there is no right and wrong. you do what works for you and later what works for your baby.
because the more you will read, the more conflicting ideas you will receive for every one preaching what is the right thing, there will be opposite advise as well.

the best thing you can do during pregnancy is to just stay calm and not work yourself up and eat regularly (and preferably healthy)
the rest is just gimmics or people wanting to make money out of a vulnerably person.

hallo there ladies.

i'm just as greatful that it is weekend. and sooo much looking forward to all the long weeksends in April.

Prenessa, that is true, but it only becomes a concern when your belly gets big and heavy - about the last 2 months of pregnancy. at this stage everything is still to small to have an impact on the bloodflow.
with my son, i was absolutely huge, but i had terrible pains in my hips and pelvis, so sleeping on my sides was extremely painful. i slept on my back most of the time even though i tried not to and everything was fine.

hope you all have a lovely weekend

Hi.

I also heard you need to sleep on your left side.
Well been a first time mum and trying to do everything right so I am listening to whatever people say. Think this is stressing me out more...

Thanks - i'll take note. I don't sleep like that but normally when I dose off while in the living room, I'm on my back on the couch. so will watch out for that. I read that the best way to lie is on your left side. This way your baby gets the most bloodflow and oxygen.. (or something like that) - not sure what is true and what not... so many opinions and studies out there.

Hi Ctelly

I was told about the below;

When you lie on your back, the weight of the pregnant uterus slows the return of blood to your heart, which reduces blood flow to the fetus. That means the baby is getting less oxygen and fewer nutrients. Henderson says occasionally lying supine will not harm a developing fetus, but sleeping that way every night might.

Hallo Ladies, I still have to sit at work for 3 hours before my weekend starts. Tonight I'm assisting my brother with his little girls 1 year birthday cake.. they want an owl one. (wish me luck)

Kel16 - I can just imagine how excited you are about all the little goodies. only a week to go!


Prenessa - what's the risk involved with sleeping on your back ? This morning at 04:00 I couldn't get up straight. my right side ligaments (I think) were so stiff (spasm) that I had to walk hunch back to the toilet. luckily husband was there to assist me getting back into bed.. it was hilarious and sad at the same time.. haha. I feel like an old broken lady.. I'm 25!!

anyway.. that's how my day started, hope you all have a wonderful weekend - with no morning sickness or any other issues.

Hello Ladies

Trust you all well.

I am so relieved it is Friday.
I really did not sleep well. I am so restless these days. I am so scared not to sleep on my back because of everyone is scaring me.

Have a great weekend
