As my pregnancy is progressing, sleeping is becoming difficult. What is the best and safest sleeping position that is recommended during pregnancy, especially as my belly grows?
Medically, sleeping on your left side is the best because it improves blood flow and nutrition to the placenta. Try using a pregnancy pillow or just support your back and knees with normal pillows to stay in position.
I am in my second trimester now and I try so hard to sleep on my left side, but I always wake up on my back and then panic! Is anyone else struggling to stay on their side all night?
My mother-in-law always told me to sleep only on my left side and never turn suddenly in bed. It really helped reduce heartburn and kept me comfortable throughout my pregnancy.
I am not a doctor so I can't give medical advice, but I personally found sleeping on my left side to be the most comfortable. I used a long pillow between my knees which really helped support my belly.
