A member asked:

Is it safe to sleep in a semi-reclined recliner chair when pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Nadine Yamusah answered

Yes: remember however that it is always best to lay on your left side to prevent compressions of large veins and subsequent numbness and weakness in lower extremities
