Can anybody tell me what does it mean when you lye on your right side and your baby starts to move like crazy. But when I turn on my left he done calmed down. N not only that when I'm on my right it hurts especially when I try to get up I even catch heart burns on my right side.but wen I'm on my left side I'm good

If you have pain it must not be too good. I agree let your OB or midwife know.  I can't lye down on either side because he'll kick nonstop and since he's breech he kicks the h.eck out my bladder!  I need to lay face up with like three pillows to be "comfortable" and he'll be still- no kidding!  They bully and take over our bodies!  :/

When you lay on your back or left side you can reduce blood  flow both to baby and to you (this is why some women get dizzy when they do) when baby's oxygen is reduced heart rate goes up and baby can become agitated. Just his way of saying "hey mom roll over"

Babies tend to pick positions they like and he may not like it. But if you are having pain I would bring it up to your doc/midwife, better safe than sorry...
