sleeping on left side and pain

Is it normal to have pain high on your left side, right below the ribs after sleeping on that side too long? I try my best to stay on my left side because it is recommended for better blood flow but after a few hours it is painful. Anyone else have this?

For better blood flow you need to switch sides. I really cannot sleep on my left side. Its way to painful, so i have to sleep on my right side or my back.

How far are you? Are you sure your baby isn't in your ribs?
