Sleeping ?
I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I keeping hearing that you should sleep on your left side. Does it really matter what side you sleep on ? my body and back feels so much better on my right but, I don't wanna do anything to the baby.
Left is the best tho! Most beneficial to passing blood flow to you and your baby as well as nutrients. I find myself having more of a hard time sleeping on my right than I do on my left but that's just me.
Left or right side is fine. They don't recommend the back because there's a main artery that can get pressed on by the weight of the uterus and baby by laying directly on your back. If you want to somewhat lay on your back try propping yourself up with pillows.
