How do you sleep? (even though your left side is recommended...)

Question

Last night was the first night that I could not get comfortable. Normally I am a left side sleeper even before my pregnancy, with some back-laying when the mood strikes. But last night was terrible - I was tossing and turning trying to find a good position on my left and finally said screw it and ended up on my back for maybe 1/2 hour, then on my right side for about an hour. Is anybody else starting to have these difficulties and what would you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Do people only sleep on one side? I have to keep switching sides throughout the night.  I've never gone to sleep and woken up on the same side.

Answer

i try to stay on my left side as recommended but honestly sometimes its so uncomfortable and im more comfortable on my right or at an angle so im kinda on my back but still on my side, i go for it

Answer

I feel you! I used to sleep mostly on my stomach or back...I am constantly flipping from side to side at night now because my hips start hurting from the weight after an hour or so 😭 I haven't found a good remedy yet, so its been very broken up sleep for me!

Answer

On my tummy or my left side. 
I already favored my left side before pregnancy, so I guess I lucked out. 😂

Answer

I’m finally going to have money next month to buy my preggo pillow. That worm like pillow; cause I always need somethin plushy between my legs, if not I feel like their is more pressure on the baby and sharp pains shooting into my uterus or back.

Answer

I sleep on my left side, unless I prop myself up with 2-3 pillows and sleep on my back. I wouldn't recommend doing it without the pillows.

Answer

Left and right side- never my back or tummy.

Answer

Mainly right side currently but also left side. On my back I lose breath right away as I’m getting bigger

Answer

I’ve always slept on my left side anyways so it’s the only way I can sleep and fall asleep

Answer

I go back and forth from left to right. either my legs give out or this kid is in a spot that kills so I have to readjust.
