Im a back sleeper since always and now in 6th month its getting uncomfortable. Saas says sleep on left side only but i keep turning in sleep na. Which side is actually better?
I used to get so stressed thinking I would hurt the baby if I accidentally rolled onto my back at night. Honestly, sleeping on your left side is best, but please don't panic if you wake up on your back. Just gently turn to your side and try to relax.
Beta, always try to sleep on your left side as it keeps both you and the baby healthy. If you feel uneasy, drink a cup of warm turmeric milk an hour before bed to help you sleep better. Avoid sleeping on your stomach at all costs.
Left side sleeping is always recommended as it improves blood circulation to the placenta. If you find it hard, put a pillow between your knees and one under your bump. It really helps to take the pressure off your hips.
Sleeping on the left side actually helped reduce my acid reflux a bit, which was a blessing with my bad morning sickness. Try not to sleep flat on your back as it can make you feel dizzy. Sleep with your head slightly elevated if you feel nauseous.
With twins, sleeping on any side felt like shifting a mountain, haha! But yes, left side is medically the best for blood flow. Get a C-shaped pillow or just stuff pillows everywhere to support your tummy and back.
Actually left side is the best option yaar, blood flow badhta hai baby ke liye. I tried sleeping on my right also sometimes when my left shoulder ached, but back sleeping is a big no-no after the first trimester.
Left side is the golden rule, but seriously don't stress too much if you shift sides during sleep. Your body will naturally wake you up if a position is uncomfortable. Just stay comfy and use lots of pillows!
Haan na, sleeping during pregnancy is such a big task! Doctors always suggest sleeping on the left side because it's good for baby's blood flow. Tum pregnancy pillow use karke dekho, thoda comfortable lagega.
