My doctor said it's perfectly fine what ever position I sleep in as long as I'm comfortable and have no pain. Before I was pregnant I was a stomach sleeper I've gotten used to my side. They say left side is comfiest and best for blood flow but to me my right side is comfiest.

Whatever position is comfortable to you and not painful is ok for you to sleep in. Some women continue sleeping on their stomach until it becomes uncomfortable. There's so much cushion in there the baby is well protected

Try laying on your side with a pillow between your legs, long ways from your crotch to your knees. I also keep a pillow behind my back for support.
