A member asked:
I'm about 3 & a half months pregnant, i would usually sleep on my back occasionally. should i refrain from that now?

You may sleep on: your back if comfortable. But at some point in your pregnancy - sleeping on your side is likely to become more comfortable. In more advanced pregnancy - sleeping on the left side can v pressure on abdominal aorta.
