baby stays on same side

I'm 36 weeks, my baby boy stays the the right side of my stomach like 99% of except for when I sleep on left side, then he moves to middle but as soon as I get up he moves right back to his favorite spot. It's funny because my stomach looks lopsided you can see where he's at. My Dr says its normal, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I guess it's totally normal and the same has happened to me but I'm due on Wednesday and my doc said i need to crawl on my hands and knees to get him to move to the center so ultimately he comes out the correct way. It's ok if he stays but for the mothers sake you want them center and facing toward your behind.

My daughter has stayed on my left side my entire pregnancy!  I thought once she got bigger she would move more to the middle but nope. I'm 39wks and she's still on my left.

Im 36 weeks 1 day, my son loves the right side as well. Hes just comfortable there since my stomach is so little, but when I walk he drops and positions himself. Try a gentle massage or walking. Can help you have her earlier too ! Good luck (:
