They say sleeping on your back, especially in the later months is a big no-no as the weight of your uterus then lies on your spine, back muscles, intestines and major blood vessels. <br /><br />I never really knew about it either until I started reading pregnancy stuff, as it's mentioned in a lot of the books and official pregnancy sites online.RAY Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554153079752212370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708101437720447541.post-50726376136805445602010-08-10T22:44:43.428-05:002010-08-10T22:44:43.428-05:00I never knew that it was best to lay on your left ...I never knew that it was best to lay on your left side while pregnant (though never having been pregnant I'm not sure when I would have heard it anyway). Do you know why that is? And are you supposed to put a pillow between your legs when you sleep on your side only if you're pregnant, or even if you're not (I sleep on my side, so now I'm all worried about my posture!).<br /><br />That's annoying about your toilet. The nice thing is that you have a landlord to deal with it and don't have to fix it yourself. I was glad when our water heater blew a few months ago that I didn't have to order a new one and have it installed myself. Kind of makes me afraid of ever owning my own home...Elenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661310499468356602noreply@blogger.com
