I have a question.... I was told that when your pregnant that you can only lay on your left side bc…

well I heard that too n I asked the doctor n they told me don't lay on ur back... ur right side is okay... but don't lay on that side too much just once in a while just when ur tired of laying down on ur left...

@aprilcgutkopf, laying on your right side, or back isn't going to kill your baby! Your baby just gets optimal blood flow when you lay on your left side. I sleep on my back or right side most of the time honestly! But if I wake up I'll roll onto my left. Don't make yourself sore over it! (:

you can lay on your back & right side, it's just best to try to lay on left side as much as possible. your body knows when it'll need to change laying positions.

Not true, left side is great for nutrient flow to baby. Anyway you feel comfortable laying is fine though I switch between left right and back I used to sleep on my stomach but I've gotten to pregnant 😔 lol

Honestly I am not sure, I have slept on my right side with both pregnancies because it was more comfortable for me, and my now 10 month old is fine, and the baby I am currently carrying is fine so far too.

they say its better to lay on your left side because its better oxygen flow and what not to the baby....but you can rotate from side to side thats what i did. i never laid on my back for more then like 5 or 10 minutes at a time.

@anqiee323, your doctor is crazy! If you have bad acid reflux while you're pregnant. Your doctors will suggest you lay on your back. But sleep with a few pillows to keep you propped up.

they say the best side to sleep is the left , i sleep on both sides not on my back , im almost 37 weeks , trust me you wont kill the baby i was worried about the same thing

Ok thank you guys!!! It helped!!! Now I can go back to sleep with no worries!!!

@anqiee323, your doc is crazy lol laying on your back won't hurt the baby. every time I went to L&D for preterm labor & they monitored me, I laid on my back 90% of the time, only a few times did they tell me to lay on my left side.

I personally sleep on both bc of how my son lays.

well everyone is different I Ddn't have acid reflux ...or anything like that... but I wouldn't lay on my back... but yeah everyone is different everyone has things that worries them... I just feel safer not laying on my back :p

you can lay any way you want as long as your comfortable. they say not to lay on your back because a lot of pressure on a vein and it can be hard to breathe. So if you can get comfy on your back then prop your head so you can breathe better. The left is "the best" because blood flow is best when on the left but that doesn't mean anytime you lay down it has to be on the left

You will start hurting if your hurting your baby@aprilcgutkopf when I didn't gave a belly yet my doctor said it was fine to sleep on my tummy
