Is lying on your back safe?

[x.Lilly.x]

When I was pregnant with my son I got told that after 20 weeks you shouldnt lay on your back as baby is becoming heavier and could press on your vital organs and cause problems.
This pregnancy Ill go to sleep on my side and wake up in the middle of the night on my back, go back to sleep and wake up again in the morning on my back.
Its not very comfy and ill wake up and isntantly roll over, but is it harmful?
She hasnt kicked alot today and all last night I think I laid on my back, now Im worrying its hurt her in sum way from lying so much on my back?

I've slept on my back the whole way through. I used to go to sleep on my side but wake up on my back but now I find it too uncomfitable to sleep on my side so go straight to sleep on my back!!

Dont worry I checked about this with the consultant and he said lying on back will push pressure on ur back bcz of the weight on stomach and make it uncomfortable for u so u will change the position ur self..it does not effect the baby..

Ive been worrying bout this for days.
I even went n spent £45 on a maternity pillow cos I was told laying on bk would cause the bby to lay on major blood vessels but I always wake up on my back n its scary. Even tho bby is always kickin n punching away lol
