Is there a best position to sleep to get the baby in its best position for delivery?

I sleep on my sides most of the time but sometimes I end up sleeping on my back which some people think is a no no during late pregnancy. So, I raised this question to my doctor and she said that it's okay to sleep in any position as long as I am comfortable. However, these last few weeks, she's been encouraging me to sleep on my sides to prepare the baby for delivery. Since then, I have been so conscious during my sleep reminding myself not to sleep on my back ever again. As a result, I've been waking all night checking on myself... and I have to admit that it's so hard to just sleep on the sides and not on the back at all. When I get so tired, I ended up taking a cat nap on my back for about 30 minutes to an hour... now, that feels like heaven!

Should I become overly concern about the position which I sleep in? If so, which sleeping position should allow the baby to be in the ultimate position for delivery?

its not just how you sleep that effects your babies position...
sitting in a nice cooshy couch slouch down is bad.. your better off sitting on a fit ball or a dining chair backwards.
i think its LOA that is best for baby..(brain fade atm)
has she said where your baby is??

During my last visit at the doctor which was Thursday, she said that my baby was engaged and the back was on my ride side. Is this good or bad?

Up until now, I will feel like the baby is moving its back from left to right... is this normal?

[Oorki Galoorki]

yeah that is normal
it sounds like your baby is in the right position now
just keep doing what your doing

How bad is it if I end up sleeping on my back for more than an hour? My doctor mentioned I shouldn't be on my back for more than 1 hour, is there a reason why?
