What side should I sleep on?

Question

I am 9 weeks 3 days with my second baby. With my first I was told that if I wasn't sleeping on my right side, I was doing it right. This pregnancy, it's so much more comfortable to be on my right side. And I recently read absolutely do not sleep on your back from this point on. So. I don't know. Help?

Answer

Side is best once you start having a bump. Belly is ok for the first trimester as long as it is not uncomfortable. Back is fine then as well and possibly even later.  The concern with sleeping in your back is that your uterus could squish the large vessles running by your spine that feed your gut, your baby, and your legs. The concern with sleeping on your belly is you will essentially be squishing the baby some. But listen to your body, it will  tell you how not to sleep by what is uncomfortable.

Answer

You can sleep which ever way you want as long as you aren't uncomfortable. When you get past first trimester then you can't sleep completely flat on your back. As long as one hip is rotated up or you are propped up in a semi sitting position then you are ok to be on your back

Answer

Sides mostly the left side. If you do sleep on your back you have to sleep prop up and not flat

Answer

Left better for baby
