[POWER REPLAY] Is It Really That Bad To Sleep On Your Back While Pregnant?


Listen Later

This episode is a Power Replay you’ll definitely want to hear! If you’re pregnant and wondering whether it’s really a big deal to sleep on your back — or why your sleep feels so off in general — this short episode has the answers.

Tune in as I dive into:

  • How your sleep changes across each trimester
  • Why back sleeping is discouraged (and what the real risks are)
  • What “supine hypotensive syndrome” means for you and your baby
  • Easy strategies to help you get better rest (including why chamomile tea might not be your friend!)

And if you ever wake up on your back and panic? Don’t! I explain why it’s not something to stress about and what to do instead.

Get the reassurance and tips you need to sleep better during pregnancy.
