If you don't experience dizziness when laying on your left side don't worry about it and good luck mama

The reason why they have you sleep on your left side is because there's a vain on your right side if your baby can lay on to wear it's harder for you to get blood circulation back from your legs to your heart it has nothing to do with causing a stillborn what so ever you sleep how you're comfortable I know this for a fact because I talk to my OBGYN and multiple ER doctors when I started passing out because my baby was laying on this particular vein

That's some strange research you found lol..I don't think it's true though bc I would take multiple naps with my first pregnancy and he was perfectly healthy. I do switch from left to my right side when sleeping and they say to lay on left side bc you get better circulation that way but I think you'll be just fine :)
