You can sleep on your back in early pregnancy or until you feel comfortable to do so. As the pregnancy advances you may experience a sense of faintness if you lie on your back. This is called supine hypotension. It is caused by the weight of your uterus and your baby pressing on the major blood vessels. This can be alleviated by the number of pillows you use. If you need to sleep on your side then the left side is best because it can help increase blood flow to the placenta. See similar questions...

Dr. Williams, I had a filling done on tooth #14. As soon as the novacaine wore off this tooth began to hurt. I called the dentist and they said that this was normal. The next day it hurt worse, I called the dentist and insisted to be seen. Two days later the filling fell out and even more pain occured. I could not be seen for 2 days.

Yes. It is recommended that pregnant women take special care of their teeth and gums during pregnancy and have their teeth cleaned and checked by a dentist at least once when pregnant. Tell the dentist you are pregnant. Your dentist and medical doctor can determine if any special procedures, other than routine cleaning, should be postponed until after pregnancy.

This is a pretty confusing issue for a lot of pregnant women. The fact is when you're in your 5th week of pregnancy, you are 4 weeks pregnant! During the week you start your period, you are in your first week of pregnancy, but you have not yet completed any weeks so you are zero weeks pregnant. Think about it this way - you don't say that a baby is one year old during his first year of life do you? He is not considered to be one year old until he's actually in his second year.

Mothers-to-be should plan their diet carefully and always seek their physician's advice. Pregnant women are usually prescribed extra vitamins and it would not be wise to take unnecessary supplements.
