My Doctor won't change the date unless the baby measures over a week ahead/behind. I remember measuring 4 days ahead last time and being so upset that they wouldn't change it!
As for lying on your back, I think the recommendation is to start trying to sleep on your side after 16 weeks. It's too early at that point for baby to be pressing too hard on the vena cava, but because it takes some serious sleep training for us back sleepers, it gives you a few weeks to get used to the new positioning. I have a much-loved Snoogle pillow, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it!
I think because I'm currently in my 15th week, the two e-mails I get both said to start to get used to trying to sleep on sides - instead of exclusively. So I tried..and failed! Last night I just slept how I wanted to.
I found a pattern online for a pillow that looks like a snoogle. I'm going to sew one out of a set of sheets I no longer use. I can't wait! They look so comfy.
