I'm in my 3rd trimester and honestly, if I sleep on the floor, I will need a crane to lift me up! But if it feels comfortable for your back pain, just do it.

I was so scared of catching cold from the tiles or hurting the baby! If you must sleep on the floor, please use a thick mattress and ask someone to help you stand up.

Mihika Shetty · Answer

Many women do it, especially in summers because the floor feels cooler. Just use a proper thick mattress so your back gets support, and don't get up in a hurry.

After my IVF journey, I was extra careful about every single movement. Sleeping on the floor is okay physically, but please ensure you don't strain your abdomen while getting up.

With my twin pregnancy, getting up from the bed itself was like a workout, floor would have been impossible! If you can manage to stand up safely without straining, go ahead.

That's an interesting question! I prefer sleeping on the floor too, so I wonder if I can continue doing that when I conceive.

My pregnancy app suggested sleeping on the left side is best, whether on bed or floor. Just make sure the floor is clean and you use plenty of pillows for support.

My doctor said sleeping on the floor is medically fine, but the struggle is getting up. Putting pressure on your stomach while standing up from the floor is not recommended, so be careful.
