Sleeping on your back?

[Lauren84]

I've read a few times its not great to sleep on your back but several times through the night I wake up and I'm on my back after starting on my side. I'm at my most comfiest on my back, is it that bad?? X

I sleep on my back and sides. Why is it bad to sleep on your back? Xxx

I wake up on my back sometimes too, I thiink its something to do with oxygen to the baby but not completely sure. Not sure how it can be avoided during sleep though xxx

I thought was something to do with baby sitting on your spine or something and it not being good having weight on it, not to sure!! I thought it was sleeping on right side is something to do with oxygen to baby,as theres se nerve or something in that side, and they say sleep on left side, ive woken up few times on my backx
