Sleeping on your back in later pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of stillbirth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty is staying there. Most people roll over in the night without noticing. A full-body pillow makes side sleeping comfortable enough to hold — the bump is supported from the front rather than hanging unsupported, and the section between your knees keeps your hips level and takes the strain off your lower back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you wake up on your back, just settle onto your side again.
