In early pregnancy, sleep in whatever position feels comfortable. From around the middle of pregnancy onward, many doctors suggest favouring your side rather than your back. fghjgehgfehgfhegfh
Why side-sleeping?
As your bump grows, lying flat on your back can press on a major blood vessel and feel uncomfortable or light-headed. Sleeping on your side — the left is often suggested — keeps blood flowing comfortably to you and your baby.
Making it comfortable
- Tuck a pillow between your knees and under your bump.
- If you wake on your back, simply roll back to your side — no need to worry.
