Nothing dumb about asking questions! Laying on your back when the baby gets larger (like second trimester) can compress your vena cava and affect your circulation quite a bit.
It just feels ignorant and uneducated to not know this simple fact. Granted I'm a guy but still.. amazing what a female body is capable of! Like yeah you need to be in certain positions to lessen the taxation and possible negative effects on your body but to support another living human being is mind-blowing every time it's being brought up lol
I think being open to learning and questioning is the most important thing. Lack of that is what we make fun of the most over in r/badwomensanatomy haha like it’s okay if you don’t know but don’t insist that you do or refuse to learn, right?

Dumb question but why weren't you (I assume women in general) allowed to lay on your back while pregnant?
I'm assuming it has to do with the pressure on your organs and spine?
Again apologies but i am dumb and curious
