Right side?

Question

I find sleeping on my right hand side is so much more comfortable than the left side! I know sleeping on your left side is good for the baby and yourself, but I'm really struggling. I almost get fed up and this has been stressing me out. Any tips or help on what I can do? Thanks in advance x

Answer

Don't stress! I'm almost 37w and still sleep on my back 80% of the time. The benefit of your left side is that your stomach drains that way so it lessens heartburn and gets nutrients to baby a little more efficiently. It might get oxygen to the baby more efficiently, too, but sleeping on your right side won't harm you or the baby at all. 😊
(Sleeping on your back won't either--your body will naturally readjust if there is any problem.)

Answer

It's really not a huge deal. No side is 'wrong', do what's most comfortable. You'll probably be tossing and turning plenty anyway.

Answer

I'm more of a right-y too. It's fine.

Answer

My right side is & has always been the side i preferred to sleep on. Until I started getting horrible back pain & doctor said to sleep on left side to relieve the pain. It helped A LITTLE, but not I find sleeping on both sides throughout the night I toss & turn all night.

Answer

Honestly, I've just been sleeping in whatever position I can get comfortable in. If I lay on my back, I prop myself up a bit so I'm not flat. I'm 34 weeks today and there's like no position whatsoever that is comfortable to me. Lol.

Answer

You are fine. Its recommended, but its not going to harm you or baby. Just get sleep, that just as/if not more important. Better sleep lets your body reboot.

Answer

Honestly some sleep is better than none. Baby ia fine either way. And youll get uncomfortable in a position before it would ever hurt baby. No worries

Answer

Answer

Both sides are fine to sleep on. I find my right more comfortable too.
