Pregnancy sleeping tips??

Question

I read that it's not good for the baby if you sleep on your right side so I've been strictly sleeping on my left and most nights it's so uncomfortable and my back hurts

Answer

Laying on your Right side is completely fine. It's laying on your back that causes problems eg; it causes the uterus to push down and the pressure gets put onto the back and isn't good and I think it also cuts abit of blood circulation to the baby or something like that (can't quite remember) but yeah right side and left side is good but laying on your back is really bad for you and baby so just don't do that.

Answer

Sleeping on your right side is fine, on your stomach is fine and left is fine as long as it’s comfy. Try a U shaped pregnancy pillow. That with taking magnesium at night has helped me.

Answer

People saying right is fine... research shows increase of stillbirth increases if you compare right side to left.  Therefore left is recommended.  So OP you are absolutely right. And I feel your discomfort! Get lots of pillows to support yourself :)

Answer

My doctor has always told me to sleep however I’m comfortable. I’m on baby #3, 27w2d and I sleep on my stomach. Most of the time I have 1 leg up so I’m. It completely flat on my stomach but I definitely woke up completely flat on my stomach this morning. I also sleep on my right side and my back. I can only see my TV from my right side or back.
Your body will move and/or wake you up if it’s uncomfortable or feels that something is wrong.

Answer

Sleeping on your right side, in late pregnancy especially, allows for the baby to press on your vena cava which restricts your blood flow. That’s why left is better. 
But it is okay to sleep on your right and on your back for short periods of time. But left is best to prevent restricted blood flow

Answer

Left is best, but sleeping on your right is okay too. Placing a pillow in between your knees may help too.

Answer

My body pillow was a game changer. I use a normal one for now maybe later on in my pregnancy I’ll invest in the body pillows for pregnancy but for now this works great.
