I want to sleep on my back,
Spread out long, not in a stack.
On the back weighs to much says the Doc.
Personally I think that's a bit of a crock.
Is Baby G happy if I lay as I please?
If not will she kick hard with unease?
The fear of a mother is quite hard to bare
When you worry your wishes are being unfair.
A sleepless night I had to endure
How I got to my back is no more than a blur.
I woke in the morning stretched long as a board
Anxiety peaked and my heart rate sored
I can not correct the choice of the past
I hope the feeling of guilt will not last.

I'm with you on the back-sleeping thing, Michelle! I ALWAYS sleep on my back and that was one of the hardest things when I was pregnant. Who sleeps on their side anyhow?!? Love the poem by the way!
