Sleeping - vena cava

[Aus_Amy]

My doctor and midwife have been stressing to my OH and i about not sleeping on my back due to vena cava, since my OH has been waking me up at least 5-6 times a night just to check i'm on my side and am ok..

Has any1 else had same problems??

I wake up every night on my back. I have tried everything!
My baby is currently breech and sleeping on the left side is better, so I am really trying. I have not had any issues with sleeping on my back from a circulation point of view tho...

Might be a stupid suggestion, but have you thought about sewing a tennis ball in to the back of your nightie, so when you roll over it's uncomfortable and you'd shift position without waking up?

It's recommended for snoring, so obv COMPLETELY different but maybe it could help...
