Also, as far as sleeping on your back goes, what i have been told is that sleeping on your back will become so uncomfortable that you feel the need too change positions before it can really cause any damage. Sleeping on your left side is the best for circulation too your uterus. I find now that laying on my back is just so uncomfortable that I cant do it anymore.
