Why sleep on the left side?

[Alan]

You can sleep on any side. It is reccomended that you don't sleep flat on your bacl later in your pregnancy

YAY! Right side it is!! Does it count as flat on your back if you sleep with your legs raised and your head on 2 really fat pillows?

[Alan]

If they are really really reeally fat then it may be ok, but I suggest that you put a pillow under one of your butt cheeks or lower back so that you are turned slightly to one side

Neat. Shall do! Thanks for the help!!

Thankyou very much. Am glad to hear it doesnt seem to be a prob to sleep on my right. Cause thats my fav side and thats how I wake up, but up until about 3 weeks ago sleeping on my back wasnt a problem either. So it prob will change
Have a good day, Shells

Shellsbells- I have never heard of not being able to sleep on the right side.
At the moment, Im having trouble laying half on my belly, and when I lay on my right side, the baby pushes into my bladder.

I prefer to sleep on my left for this pregnancy as i think because bub has it's back along my left side it becomes to uncomfy for the right side. Wouldn't it more depend on the position of bub as to which side is more comfy?
