Your growing uterus can compress a major vein when you're on your back, reducing blood flow to your baby. But here's the thing, you don't need to stress if you wake up on your back. Just roll over.
What actually helps:
✓ Support between your knees (keeps spine aligned)
✓ Pillow under your bump (reduces ligament strain)
✓Something behind your back (prevents the midnight roll)
Bonus discoveries in the carousel: why you're less swollen when you side-sleep and why heartburn improves on your left side 🤯
Save this for tonight (or send to a pregnant friend who needs to see this).
