sleep!!!!

I've been reading and it's said that during pregnancy you she sleep on your left side.... Does this really make a difference???

Re: sleep!!!!

  • No. They recommend sleeping on your left side for blood flow and stuff but its no harm done if you sleep on you right.

    Relax & get some sleep however you feel comfortable

  • This can become an issue later in pregnancy. The concern is that sleeping on your right side or you back will cause a decrease in blood flow to the baby. With my son I always tried to start on my left but kept waking up on my back. My MW told me that if there was an issue, my body would let me know. I would feel dizzy and ill; it would be pretty clear that I needed to change positions. So, if you can sleep comfortably on your right side or your back, then no worries. If you start to feel like something is off when sleeping in those positions, switch to sleeping on your left. As with so many things, it is best to listen to your body!
