Are you used to sleeping on your right side? Now that you're pregnant, you'll have to think about turning to your left side. Here's why!
The reason is mainly anatomical: the vena cava, which runs along the right side of the uterus, can be compressed if you sleep on your right side. This position will become unpleasant especially around the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy. It causes a feeling of suffocation or discomfort: listen to your body, which will help you find the right position. Use pillows to find the most comfortable position!
I never knew how important it was to sleep on my left side instead of my right during pregnancy . I’ve always slept on my right side way before getting pregnant now I have to force myself to sleep on the left side which isn’t much comfortable. And throughout the night/morning I find myself sleeping on my right side 😩😩 This is my fourth pregnancy so I don’t know why I am worried
mommies it’s starting to get a lil uncomfortable sleeping on my left side & more comfortable on my right side 😩 I slept on my right side for once since I been pregnant & every time I flip to the left baby k like kicks or punch my right side 😂 it happened every time last night 🤣🤣 .. QUESTION !! is it really tha bad to sleep on your ride side ? 😒

Yesterday had to go get some memory foam for my bed cause I sleep in my pillow to stay off my right side because I didn’t know you couldn’t sleep on your right side. Because studies said “Previous studies have linked back and right-side sleeping with a higher risk of stillbirth, reduced fetal growth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia, a life-threatening high blood pressure disorder that affects the mother.” But my lower back been hurting for sleeping on my left side.. so this memory foam better be my best friend!!

Sleeping only on my left side is becoming soooo uncomfortable. Of course i’m use to sleeping on my right side. I spoke with my OB and she says sleeping on the right presses on the vena cava. So now i’m super paranoid about it. Ugh i’m so ready for december 😩.

So …not long ago I was involved in a drive by shooting while driving my car and my left arm got very damaged and stays in pain a lot. I read everywhere that I should be sleeping on my left side but of course I can’t. 😩 So sleeping on my right side is my go to although nothing is comfortable for me right now with injury and the pregnancy but I’m grateful for life itself. I wonder all the time how is this right side sleeping affecting baby🤔🫤 #IDontKnow #Sleeping
