[@brittanyr6540]

my mom who had 5 kids told me to lay however i feel comfortable.

[@DanceePinkston]

Good advice to listen to your body! Usually staying in body alignment prevents common pregnancy aches and pains.

[@gabrielailies-doleanu4162]

Doctor sayed the same for me, i try only one side but i can't, i always turn around

[@Dascorpion_Belleza]

My doctors told me the same!!!!

[@natticha_gln]

Yes i agree! I tried the position that many video shows but I always get hurt.

[@IndianG-Trini]

Yup! Same. I’m 6.5 mths and can still sleep on my stomach really comfortably.

[@melodylockhart8916]

What do I do stand up and sleep

[@DanceePinkston]

Basically! No jk! It’s all about proper pillow placement for side lying and I have my favorite position on my newest video on my channel. 🥰

[@user.idk7389]

You should get one of those pregnancy pillows

[@Simplymodest31]

honestly feel whatever is comfortable for you. Just try to lay on your sides and your baby will always let you know!

[@joylastname3035]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@adriennemobley7523]

[@semperpieeatordie6990]

I always find it funny how everyone says no to sleeping on you back and yet that only seems to be the way i can get some sleep is on my back and im almost 8 months pregnant

[@judy3460]

Same!

[@clawedbychristy6708]

@@judy3460yup me too!

[@clawedbychristy6708]

yup me too!

[@manalikothari5677]

Same

[@aninsimone]

I like videos tht show the dos as well as the don't. This one is making me angry.

[@Lavender_Roseee]

My dr said I was fine sleeping on my belly if it’s comfortable. She said bc the baby is very well protected it’s not gonna pose a threat. Back sleeping is not good bc the weight of the baby can sit on your spine and put pressure on your inferior vena cava. Which can cause still birth.

[@mariahwebb1123]

Immediately moves from back to belly lol

[@2010afroro]

So I should just sleep sitting up, standing up, and laying against the wall in a standing position? GOT IT!!👍🏾

[@DanceePinkston]

The best positions are modified version of side laying which I go into detail in the full video on my channel.

[@Ayesha-kHaN97]

I saw a pregnant lady hanging like a spider to a tree .. now i know why..!!

[@Gigisamaha2]

If it is comfortable, it is bad 😂 You can sleep on your side (preferably left due to the way your digestive system works) with a pillow between your legs, trying to align your body in an ideal position. Back sleeping can stop bloodflow and stomach sleeping can squish the baby. I'm 38 weeks and basically don't get any sleep anymore. Baby doesn't like any position I sleep in 😂

[@KitKat10281]

I'm 26 weeks and my biggest sleep issue is my bladder! 😂 my son seems to like to squeeze it the second any liquid is inside, so I'm up, peeing, every hour or so! 😂❤

[@musaazipeter4110]

Same here😂😂😂😂, I no longer get good sleep, everytime I have to wake up to empty my bladder

[@subhashiniisubha3340]

How I sleep after watching this: 🧍🏽‍♀️

[@sugarapple5465]

😅😅

[@gmafwolo]

Hahahaaaaaaa

[@Maya_lover]

So what the hell can I do?😭

[@essencesims4773]

Stand and sleep against the wall ig 😂

[@ShapeShifterKibayo]

Lay how ever your comfy. Duh! Edit: I have layed on my back a lot during my whole pregnancy cause I can’t control what positions I go to in my sleep and my baby is healthy and strong. Stop letting people tell you what to do and do what feels right.

[@CoffeeMeetsCarnivore]

This is exactly the right answer. If it’s uncomfortable or hurts don’t do it. Your body will tell you when to move

[@ambermae09]

I always wake up on my back 😂

[@ShapeShifterKibayo]

@@ambermae09 yup me too. Even now that I am no longer pregnant and I can sleep on my tummy again I always end up on my back (I had my little girly July 9th)

[@KeepingupwithEstherr]

I was about to ask cause have been feeling too scared for my baby. I can’t stop laying on my back I don’t know why and I was told it’s not good,I should only sleep on my left side.

[@ShapeShifterKibayo]

@@KeepingupwithEstherr It's not like your on your back 247 so baby should be fine like mine is :) No one can help what positions they take in their sleep so relax a bit more and don't stress cause that hurts baby more than anything. Stress. Doctors are told in books and paper what's right and there is no other option but it's never the same for anyone pregnancy. Listen to your body and if your body is going on it's back in your sleep well so be it! But I am biased against doctors lol dont trust em or like em I always go with what feels right not what they say is right. Like letting my baby sleep as long as she wants. She now sleeps through the night and is up most of the day and she is only 4 months and growing strong! Also already feeding her here and there and she's loving it! She's a little piggy like me!

[@necabibi3558]

So to those asking what position you can sleep in. Studies have shown that the lotus position or the downward dog is best. And for those very advanced in pregnancy, levitation is the only safe method. She will demonstrate this in her next video, which will be just as helpful as this one.

[@sarahkowalsky3984]

😂😂😂😂

[@gemmapetersen4027]

[@1AthenaStorm]

[@Nitra813]

[@sandrarall9726]

They told me no back sleeping and guess what my first pregnancy I slept only on my left side for the ENTIRE PREGNANCY and I cried myself to sleep most nights cuz of how squished my leg felt and how uncomfortable I was (I'm a back sleeper) well I have my beautiful baby boy now and I'm creating a new baby boy I'm 37 weeks now and I've been putting a pillow under the right side of my back and sleeping with my bellybutton "up" like she's showing us not to and I've gotten the best sleep of my freaking life this whole pregnancy. If you are lying down and get nauseous or dizzy it's probably because it on the spot they don't want you on so put a lil pillow behind it back and it don't matter if ur belly button is "pointing up" out to the side trust me my pregnancy is going great and when im laying down like that is when baby kicks the most so he must like it too 🤷🤷🤷 SLEEP COMFY MAMAS DONT LET THIS SCARE YOU!! You will most likely realize ur dizzy or nauseous before it cuts off any circulation to your baby

[@DanceePinkston]

I agree with you momma! The “belly button up” on your side position isn’t about safety. It is about sleeping in pelvic alignment in late pregnancy so that baby can get in the most optimal birth position for an easier birth experience. I personally usually sleep however I feel most comfortable until the last couple weeks! Also this short has a long form video that goes into way more detail. Hope that helps!

[@mea9149]

sleep which way is comfortable for you, im currently pregnant and my baby kicks like crazy if i sleep on my side or any other way , i have to lay on my back , ive been laying on my back since the beginning of my, pregnancy im currently 33 weeks , ive seen multiple pregnant females say that theyve laid on their stomach,their back,etc

[@user-fq7gm1gl7q]

Only because they move alot and the cord can get caught up around there neck

[@mamamayhem7125]

​@@user-fq7gm1gl7q It's not about the cord wrapping around the neck... When you sleep on your back after the second tri- it restricts blood flow by pinching the major blood vessels supplying blood to your uterus, and baby. There are also studies that suggest it increases the risk of stillbirth by x2. Sleeping on your side, preferably the left, is safest. But if you wake up on your back, don't worry.

[@musaazipeter4110]

I also feel more comfortable on the back, side ways I easily get tired

[@Anony537]

So how must you sleep? Standing?

[@soniarican6275]

On your sides or kinda like your sitting up with pillows around you , sleeping on your back and on your belly actually cuts oxygen to your baby , it’s the number one cause of stillbirths , if you know you can’t handle this type of sleeping situation I would really reconsider getting pregnant because once you become pregnant it’s not about you anymore it’s about the baby and what is safe 🤷🏽‍♀️ trust me it wasn’t easy sleeping on my sides throughout my entire pregnancy but it was well worth it once my daughter was born ❤️🙏🏽

[@angl5615]

In the past women where sleeping as they were feeling comfortable and they had healthy babies.

[@natashahanssen147]

I don't think she is saying to avoid these positions because it will harm baby. It's more because these positions can worsen common aches and pains the mother may experience during pregnancy.

[@Square-potato]

As much as I use this argument too, I want to add nuance here that we don't really know how much of this is true. Also, people these days lead different lives -- softness of the bed, lifestyle activity level that impacts muscle development differently, knowledge transfer between generations or people who've had children before.

[@user-vh2gn9bp1e]

Then tell which one is the correct position

[@Messilona]

So difficult at night sleep😢 I have twins 28week😊😊

[@user-kc2ug5gh8i]

To those who is pregnat like me. My advice is.... As long as your comportable with your slepping position just fine. As long as you sleep well... 😊

[@amithamolp.s7692]

If you dont know the good position then just go away😑

[@dimpy3626]

How about sleeping on a recliner chair ?

[@Mmyshnscrltt]

So should pregnant women sleep in standing position?

[@lynnc5291]

Sleep has been such a struggle for me for this reason. I’ve been stressing on not sleeping on my back cause I’ve caught myself doing it a few times but it makes me wake up multiple times a night. My back hurts so much that side sleeping sounds awful especially all night long. The struggle is very real. 😩😂

[@dubetindo]

I can relate😂

[@dardanalipovica8736]

How on earth supposed to sleep then fuck sake!!

[@hayatiiLove]

I love the part where she tells us how to do it correctly ☺️

[@Username_copied3]

Sleeping on my back with some pillows under me is sadly the only one that I can do.

[@ramziya8756]

,then how should we sleep?

[@chanellemonetthegr8]

I pray that I don’t harm my baby, she’ll flutter around if I’m making it uncomfortable, and it’ll wake me but I sleep whatever feels natural for me

[@Nelfa183]

Me too , sometimes I'm so tired that I don't even know if I turn but my baby's kick wakes me up . I hope is all good . 😑😬

[@missjessanpessan]

So sleeping standing up?

[@estrellamoreno9133]

Then how do I float ?

[@DanceePinkston]

Best positions here 🥰: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4bCYoShj9KVa9E

[@stiaininbeglan3844]

I'm most comfortable sleeping on my stomach. I almost always have a leg crooked. I continued doing that whenever and for however long as it was comfortable. No direct pressure once my belly got too big. Some nights I couldn't sleep any other way. You've basically named every way to sleep as wrong.

[@mayaelision9491]

im 26 weeks and sleeping with my belly button pointed or angled is the worst position rn oddly side sleeping is the most comfortable

[@jessicajanes5099]

So basically sleep standing up. Got it 👍

[@lenkalenka7988]

You didn't leave other sleeping styles. Is there any other positions?

[@Nitra813]

I’m currently 36 weeks and I am sleeping sitting up with a c pillow and an 📐 angled pillow to support my back and neck. Still not comfortable and I haven’t slept much im the last few days.

[@MrsM.]

So all of us pregnant women sleep standing up

[@soniasakwe8807]

So how then do I sleep?

[@jahunmoayedzadeh9194]

So basically y’all aren’t allowed to sleep is what she’s saying

[@tibadunia4935]

Lol

[@tibadunia4935]

Lol

[@kutie216]

I’m 35 weeks pregnant and sleep on my back just fine lol

[@ShanyraSykes]

On belly nah rip baby 😂😂

[@leomercy4827]

I don't even know the position who make me sleep until I wake up

[@MsEnglishtea]

😂 just sleep sitting up

[@learnwithsteph4573]

You’re not helping by not giving alternative

[@jinkydxn872]

Then what are the proper ways?

[@smbfd8228]

Guess I’ll just have to sleep in a floating position

[@mangamkeri9231]

In Every position she said no,no,no .in actual she doing all of that and telling us not to 😂😂😂😂

[@nebojanedera]

This comment section is really fun 😂😂

[@navyang3l]

Okay no sleeping with any comfort at all, got it...

[@DanceePinkston]

haha I hear ya! I have comfy sleeping positions on my channel! 😘

[@dichang3]

Im natural back sleeper. I would have all the right pillow support before going to bed. And i would still wake up on my back lol.

[@UmarHaya-dj4we]

Ok I ever sleep that 😆😅

[@Mar-sb1ss]

So basically no sleep

I’m 20 weeks n still sleeping on my stomach, my provider said i can still sleep on my stomach until my stomach actually starts getting bigger n it hasn’t yet 🤷🏾‍♀️

Stopped sleeping on my belly at 30weeks because only then it became uncomfortable. Im currently 36weeks now and I miss it

[@rachelels]

@@vanessaphini I’m definitely not looking forward to when i can’t sleep on my stomach anymore 🥴😅

[@MrsCan]

I am 17 weeks and same.

[@crrc1775]

I asked my provider the same thing about sleeping positions because I’m a back sleeper and she just said sleep how you want until you can’t. So idk 🤷‍♀️ I’m just playing it safe and sleeping on my left for the most part but it’s so hard

[@erdbeerchan]

I'm watching this while lying on my back pregnant

[@kbaudewyns7]

Not on the back, not on the side and not on the tummy! Handstands it is!!

[@ksjuscha7219]

That’s not true. I am at 38 weeks and I sleep on my belly. There is no problem with this at all. When you can sleep on your belly, do it. There’s no scientific evidence that it’s bad or can cause any harm. May be uncomfortable for many women but as a belly sleeper this is the only position I can fall asleep right now.

[@anabels2452]

Sleep standing 😂

[@haroldbaldueza4185]

Left side lying would be the best

[@artgoddess533]

I’ve heard this, what about the right side ?

[@onlyemmy893]

Pregnancy pillows come in very handy

[@NightRyder91]

I can’t help but sleep on my tummy🥺🥺

[@jyotidevijangam5872]

so please what's the right position to sleep.

[@bykyamee]

Best position for blood circulation is on your left side. But as long as you are comfortable you can sleep anyway you want, you will wake up if you put to much pressure on your veins.

[@angiesapples6162]

Sleeping on our back in pregnancy cuts off circulation and other things to the baby, we're uncomfortable for a reason lol

[@BeautyInYOU583]

That’s all sleeping positions 🤦🏽‍♀️

I guess I can't sleep laying down

[@P0e44]

I always end up on my back🤷‍♀️

I have to sleep at an angle. Can’t do on my side as it hurts to much. I am normally a back sleeper and can’t wait to go back to that once baby is born.,
