I keep worrying if I accidentally sleep on my back early on. Is that okay in the first weeks? I read left side is best but its hard to control while asleep.

In early pregnancy you can pretty much sleep however is comfy, the baby is still tiny and well protected. As you grow, sleeping on the left side is recommended. Start getting used to side sleeping with a pillow between your knees.

Early on I slept normally as I always did and felt fine. Later I shifted to my left side with a pillow which felt so much better. A pregnancy pillow was a lifesaver for me honestly.
