The reason its best to sleep on your left side is it allows baby to move and stay in the best possible position for birth.. Laying on your back encourages baby to go back to back i think.. I find sleeping on my sides puts enormous pressure on my hips and i always wake up in pain. I have made the situation a little better by sleeping on a big fluffy double quilt folded to add extra comfort. I've heard a big piece of foam can help too. Good luck!

MY WIFE HAD THE SAME DISCONFORT.THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOU IS TO ASK THE DOCTOR ON YOUR NEXT CHECK UP.I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT IS MORE CONFORTABLE FOR THE BABY IF YOU COULD SLEEP ON YOUR BACK.ALSO,IT COULD CREEATE A PROBLEM TO THE PLACENTA. i realy don’t think that sleeping on the back CREEATES A PROBLEM TO THE BABY.

I know you should lay on your left side because it is the best flow of oxyegen through the ambilical cord. Read the answer that they have on baby center though it was VERY good. Both responces were written by Dr.'s As for not being comfortable. I am 25 weeks and this is my third pregnancy and I can tell you that from this point until you have the baby you will only get less and less comfortable. I view it as your bodys natural way to adjust to not getting the sleep you need. Have your husband read the article too. This way he will not wake you up anymore! Good luck!

I couldn't sleep on my back because I felt like I had to pee really bad, even though I didn't. Try this trick. Sleep on your back, but put a thin pillow under your back on one side to elevate your body slightly on the one side...best of both worlds! I think it’s for better circulation.

The baby will not go without oxygen, and you will naturally roll over if your limbs start falling asleep. You can sleep anyway you are comfortable when you're pregnant. Iam a back sleeper and went through the same thing, had all sorts of concerns from things people on here told me. But three doctors, 2 midwifes, and a handful of nurses later, I was convinced any sleep is fine. No it wont hurt the baby, its a medical misconception that has been disproven MANY times by doctors.

That, in turn, reduces swelling in your ankles, feet, and hands. If you train yourself to sleep on your left side early on, you'll have an easier time falling asleep when your belly is bulging later. During the second half of pregnancy, avoid sleeping on your back, a position that puts the full weight of your uterus on your spine, back muscles, intestines, and the inferior vena cava (the vein that transports blood from your lower body to the heart). Back-sleeping can also put you at risk for backaches and hemorrhoids, inefficient digestion, and impaired breathing and circulation. Lying on your back in the second and third trimester can also cause changes in blood pressure. For some women, it can cause a drop in blood pressure that can make them feel dizzy; for others, it can cause an unwanted increase in blood pressure Although there’s no real harm in sleeping on your right side, lying on your left side is actually good for you and your baby: It improves the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta and it helps your kidneys efficiently eliminate waste products and fluids from your body.
