Im 6 months now and sleeping is becoming a struggle, kamar dukhti hai whole night. I keep reading left side is best but honestly I cant picture the proper position. If someone has pics or can explain how to keep pillows, pls share.
My gynac specifically explained that sleeping on the left side (SOS position) optimizes blood flow to the placenta and kidneys. She strictly advised against sleeping flat on the back after 20 weeks because it compresses a major blood vessel.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mother stitched a special long pillow for me. Sleeping on your left side with that support makes a huge difference. It keeps the blood flow to the baby perfect.
Look, the golden rule is to sleep on your left side as much as possible, but don't stress too much if you wake up on your back sometimes. Just gently roll back to your side, your body knows how to adjust! Use lots of cushions.
I can only tell you what worked for me. I literally made a fort of pillows around myself to stay on my left side because sleeping on the back became so uncomfortable by the second trimester.
Sleeping on your left side is highly recommended because it improves circulation. I followed this strictly, kept a small pillow under my tummy for support, and slept like a baby!
Yaar, sleeping on the back is a big no after the first trimester, actually. Sleeping on your left side is the most comfortable and safe position. Get a C-shaped pregnancy pillow, it's a total lifesaver!
Left side sleeping is considered the best for baby's blood supply. Try using a regular pillow under your head and another between your knees for comfort.
Sleeping on the left side is the best position. My saas kept telling me to always turn to the left and keep a pillow between my knees, and honestly, it really helped with the backache.
Haan, left side pe hi sona chahiye pregnancy mein. Right side ya peeth ke bal sona avoid karo toh achha hai na. Ek soft pillow dono legs ke beech mein rakhna, bahut aaram milega.
Getting good sleep now is so important before the baby arrives and breastfeeding cycles start! Try to sleep on your left side with one leg folded over a pillow. It takes the pressure off your lower back and hip joints.
