Laying flat on your back is bad because the weight of your uterus presses down on major blood vessels and can cut off good oxygen and blood supply to you and the baby. You can lay kind of tilted sideways on your back with a pillow underneath you, though. Im most comfortable that way, sleeping on my sides hurts my hips.
I've heard laying on your back is bad. Is that true and if so why
On your left side, your blood flows the best. Laying on either side is completely fine though.
They say it's to get the best air and blood supply to the baby
