Being 18 weeks pregnant you may notice your
abdomen is rounding, you may also notice having to adjust to a new
sleeping position due to this. Most women prior to pregnancy would
either sleep on their stomach or on their back. Now that you are 18
weeks pregnant those are not the best choices for different reasons.

been compared to sleeping on a watermelon. Sleeping on your back though
may be the most comfortable puts the entire weight of your pregnant
uterus on your intestines and your back. This can in exchange for
comfort aggravate back aches, digestion, breathing, and circulation.
Sleeping on your side is recommended preferably your left side with a
pillow between your legs is the best overall for you and your growing
baby. This allows maximum blood flow and nutrients to the placenta with
enhancing the function of your kidneys by better eliminating waste and
fluids which provides less swelling of hands, ankles, and feet. By
sleeping on your side, good posture, keeping your weight within the
recommended amount, wearing supportive shoes, or sitting or standing
for long periods of time will also help with backaches you may
experience during pregnancy.
