A member asked:
Hi dr,iam 15 weeks pregnant,today i woke up sleeping on my abdomen.and iam worried is there any problem with that?

No: No, not at this stage of pregnancy, as the fetus is encircled with amniotic fluid which cushions most compressions. Later in pregnancy (3rd trimester) we(OB MD's) ask patients to lie on their left side, and not your back, to prevent inferior vena cava compression(major blood vessel return to the heart) from compromising the baby's blood supply by the enlarged uterus.
