Is Movement While Sleeping During Pregnancy Safe?
Question: Hi Doctor,
I am 22 weeks 4 days pregnant. Is it safe to shift from right ti left and vice versa when i am sleeping. Normally people say that we should not suddenly turn from one side to another,it is not safe for baby as umbilical cord can go around neck.

Brief Answer:
not correct
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs XXXXXXX welcome again. Thanks for writing in with your health query. Actually, during pregnancy every movement should be subtle and not in a hurry. It is a myth that turning from this side to other side quickly can cause cord around the neck.Baby moves with in the uterus even when we are still. So relax.
