Belly is getting bigger now and im never sure which side to sleep on. Sometimes i wake up on my back and immediately get worried. Left ya right, what do u all follow? pls guide.
My mom used to put a small cushion behind my back and one under my belly so I wouldn't roll onto my back. Sleeping on the left side is what everyone in my house advised, and it kept me very comfortable.
Honestly, left side sleeping is the gold standard during pregnancy. I bought a C-shaped pregnancy pillow and it made left-side sleeping so much easier for my back. Definitely try that if you're struggling to stay in one position.
Our elders always say to sleep on the left side, as it is considered very good for the baby. My doctor also confirmed that sleeping on the left improves blood circulation to the uterus. You can use a soft pillow between your knees for extra comfort.
I keep reading everywhere that left side is the best because of blood flow. I'm actually trying to practice sleeping on my left now itself so it becomes a habit later! Is it really hard to maintain that position all night?
