sleeping on the left side

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I have a C pillow.  It works wonders but now that I'm getting bigger n further along my hips hurt so much when I sleep n lay on them. I feel less pain n more comfortable on my right side but I know when you sleep on ur left your baby gets better oxygen and blood. Should I force myself to sleep on my left or how important is it to be on me left?

Im 39 weeks and I have alternated left & right. Depending on his position certain side felt more comfortable at different stages of pregnancy. I just don't sleep on my back which I miss terribly!

Lett side is better for you whether your pregnant or not for digestion and blood flow but its nit mandatory, just slightly better.
