Left side is best. Pillow between knees helps a ton.

Left side is the one doctors recommend, it improves blood flow to the baby. Pop a pillow between your knees and one under the bump, makes a huge difference. I survived both ninth months on my left side.

Im in my ninth month right now and left side it is, even though i wake up sprawled everywhere lol. The pillow fort genuinely helps. If you flip to the right sometimes its okay, just dont sleep flat on your back.

Sleep on your left dear, its gentlest on you and baby. Surround yourself with pillows for support. Dont worry if you shift in your sleep, just settle back to the left when you notice.
