Why is it Best To Lay On Your Left Side? I Keep Forgetting To Ask My Dr.

circulation to the baby & your body is better than laying on your left

whoops I meant right

@january10th, So is it bad to lay on my stomach??

you can if its comfortable for you I never could after 20 weeks, its just better for you to sleep on your left side but of course no one can sleep in on position for 9 freaking month lol I did what I was comfortable with I never could sleep on my left side it was to uncomfortable

It ease pressure off your kidney, supposedly help U breath better, I roll over to my right/ back side every now & then & I still sleep 1/2 on my tummy. Whatever feel comfortable to u. Trust me your baby will tell u when he/ she is uncomfortable

Ive been told it's better for digestion and helps you not get heartburn etc... But I've never worried about which side I sleep on! Lol as long as your comfortable it should be okay. I was always a stomach sleeper before but eventually my belly got too big and it didn't feel good anymore.

@january10th, Its so comfortable for me to sleep on my left side. im just not used to it. im comfortable sleeping on my stomach until my little girl kicks me thats when i know to change postions lol.

@mmora, Im more comfortable sleeping on my right side but i heard it cuts of blood of the baby :/

@cynthiaa Yea just listen to your body it'll tell you what to do

@january10th, I feel most comfortable sleeping on my right side :/ but i get scared.

I slept on my right side my entire pregnancy & my child is perfectly fine.

^^^^ I did too and my baby is fine.

Yeah it's better for blood and oxygen flow to your baby.

I've slept on my right alot and haven't had problems at all
