Im in my 6th month and these days I just cant get comfortable at night. My mom keeps telling me to sleep on one particular side but I keep rolling onto my back in my sleep. Which side is actually better and does it really matter that much? pls share what u all do.
Left side is what my gynac told me both times, specially in last months. It helps blood flow to the baby. Dont stress if u turn to right side in sleep, just go back to left when u wake up.
I felt so confused about this in my first pregnancy. My doc said left side is best but honestly I used to wake up on my back many times. She told me whatever side feels comfy is okay as long as not flat on back for long in 3rd tri.
My doc recommended left side and using a pregnancy pillow for support. I also do light stretching before bed which my gynac okayed, helps me stay on that side longer without back ache.
Beta dont overthink this one. Left side is ideal but your body will tell u whats comfy. If u keep waking on your back just gently shift, nothing bad happens in one night.
