Question

Totally agree with the others. Just sleep in whatever position makes you feel comfortable right now, but left side is best as you go forward.

Haan na, starting weeks mein toh sleep is such a task due to nausea and bloating. Actually first trimester mein you can sleep however you like, even on your stomach if it doesn't hurt. Bass thoda pillows properly support ke liye use karo, ho na.

I recently delivered and remember how exhausted I was in the first trimester. Honestly, I just slept on my side with a normal pillow between my knees. Don't worry too much about the positions yet, just get as much rest as you can.

I am also in my first trimester and finding it so hard to get comfortable! I keep tossing and turning all night. Is anyone else using a pregnancy pillow this early, or is it too soon?

Looking back, the first trimester fatigue is real! Don't stress too much about sleeping only on your left side yet, your belly is still small so any comfortable position is fine. Just sleep whenever your body demands it.

In my first trimester, I was sleeping in whatever position felt comfortable, but now in my 2nd trimester I'm trying to sleep only on my left side. Did anyone else feel anxious about accidentally turning onto their back at night? It honestly keeps me awake sometimes.

Oh enjoy sleeping however you want right now because in the 3rd trimester, sleeping is a myth! Right now, even your stomach is fine, but starting to practice sleeping on your left side is a good idea. Trust me, you'll need the practice for later when you feel like a heavy potato!
