Don't Lie on your Back

Your Nutrition (Week 16)

Don't Lie on your Back

Week 16 is a turning point - no more lying flat on your back in bed while resting or sleeping or lying flat on the floor while exercising or relaxing. This position puts extra pressure on the aorta and vena cava and this reduces blood flow to your baby. Blood flow from mother to baby supplies all the nutrients the fetus needs to develop and grow. Don't endanger your baby's health by forgetting this important action. Reclining on a chair or propped against pillows is OK. Just don't lie on your back flat!
