I keep turning to my right side in sleep even if I start on left. Then I wake up and feel guilty. Is right side sleeping really a problem or am I overthinking?
I worry about this too every night honestly. Did anyone else keep waking up on the wrong side? My doc told me right is fine, just try to favour left in the last months. Made me feel better.
My gynac said left side is ideal especially in third trimester because it helps blood flow to the baby, but switching to the right sometimes is completely okay. The main thing she said is avoid flat on your back for long in later months.
My MIL kept saying only left side but honestly the doctor said both sides are okay, left just a bit better later on. I used a pillow between my knees and slept whichever way felt comfy.
Right side is fine, dont stress. Left is usually recommended more in later months for blood flow, but you will keep turning in your sleep anyway. Just sleep in whatever position you can actually rest in.
