Shuru me toh kaise bhi so jao beta, bas dhyan rakho ki pet par jhatka na lage. Left side sona sabse bachaane wala hota hai.

I used to eat a light snack and sleep on my stomach, which is totally safe in the first trimester. Just enjoy your favorite positions before the bump gets big!

Honestly, in the early weeks, any position is fine as long as you're comfortable. Left side is best for later on, so no need to stress right now.

I slept on my side from day one just to be extra cautious. If you have any back pain, try keeping a small pillow between your knees.
