Sleep positions
Is it ok to sleep on your right side? I've googled sleeping on the left side promotes better blood flow to the baby. Have any mothers slept on there right side and the baby was delivered safely?
It is fine to sleep however you are most comfortable. The only position truly discouraged is flat on your back due to suppression of a major artery.
Last time I slept any position where I was comfy. And everything was fine. This time I find I'm sleeping on my side and wake up on my stomach I'm 22 weeks and quite big already.
Left side is definitely always better but honestly I slept on my right side my entire pregnancy so far.only way I'm comfortable and so far so good and baby girl is soooo active
I sleep every single way. Even on my stomach. I haven't got big and didn't last time either.
I also can can sleep on my right side and my son was born within a 5 hour labour all natural
