sleeping on right side

So I know we shouldn't sleep on our stomach or back but if I sleep mostly on my right side is that bad?  My daughters foot is way up on my left side and I can't sleep comfortably on that side.  I tried looking stuff up on line but didn't really find much I am 35w3d.

Thank you ladies that makes me feel better.  I had a friend tell me that I should only be on my left side and laying on my right is bad and it worries me so thank you!

As long as youre not laying on your belly or flat on your back you are ok. You can even sleep on your back with a slight elevation on either side. Just enough to not be flat. This info came straight from a nurse and dr yesterday as i am on bed rest now.

My doctors think a pregnant woman should sleep wherever she feels comfortable. I sleep on both sides and my stomach (whit one leg supporting it) and try to listen to my body.

Yea its just their is a main artery that ribs the right side so it decreases blood flow to that side and baby a bit I guess. I sleep mostly on n left side but toss and turn. I have opposite problem she is on my right side lol

It's fine to sleep on either side. I've read that sleeping on your left can improve circulation but that's all. I sleep on my right side too.
