Everyone keeps telling me to sleep on my left side and my sis even pushes me when i turn at night haha. But nobody really explained why left specifically. Curious to know the actual reason.
My gynac told me lying on the left side helps blood flow to the baby and your kidneys, especially later in pregnancy. It takes pressure off a big vein. She said dont stress if u shift in sleep though, just start on the left.
Haan na, left side is what they tell us, something about better blood circulation to the baby. I used to keep a thin pillow under my belly also. If u have any doubt just ask ur gynac ho na.
I kept worrying I would turn to my back in sleep and harm baby. My doctor said dont panic, just settle on the left when u can, the body adjusts. A pregnancy pillow really helped me stay on side.
Doctors recommend left side mostly in the later months for better circulation. I used a pillow between my knees and behind my back so I didnt roll. Both pregnancies it made sleep way more comfy honestly.
