Sleep

I've read that its only good to sleep on your left side while pregnant but I'm 24wks now and I can't sleep on just the 1 side anymore. Its making my legs cramp big time, any suggestions?

I could only sleep on my right side with my son the whole pregnancy and this pregnancy is the same. I get heart burn if I lay on my left side even for a second

You can sleep which ever way is comfortbale... you can sleep on your back but your legs have to be elevated.

I sleep however I can get comfy. If baby isn't comfy trust me you will get kicked. My doctor has never told me I can't sleep a certain way just that the left side is the best

I had to eat a banana before bed and stick a body pillow between my legs. I also switched sides every once in awhile. s long as you're not on your back.
