Trust me, your baby is fine. He/she is snuggled down in your uterus (which is actually quite thick, as to protect the baby). On the side is always the best way to sleep when you are pregnant. On the back puts pressure on your baby AND your aorta. Sleeping on the right side also puts some pressure on your aorta, but it is still completely safe to sleep this way. The left side is the best way to go. But don't stress out too much about it! You won't stay in this position all night! It poses no risk to your baby.

I've always heard that sleeping on your left side is best during pregnancy. However, I have little luck finding a sleeping position that lasts comfortably all night. Have you tried getting a body pillow? Usually that can help support your stomach or your back and give you a little bit better rest.

You should be sleeping on your left side. This is because any other position cuts oxygen and blood flow to the baby. I am 34 weeks myself.. Good luck-

Drs and books i've read say that sleeping on your right side is the best position. More circulation for the baby.

You should be sleeping on your left side. The blood flows better around your heart and back when you're on your left side.

You will sleep on the back only after a few days.

Sleep supine, facing the ceiling. Support your back. If you opt to sleep sideways, support your abdomen with a pillow. Support all your body curves with pillows...and elevate your feet too with pillows.

When I was that far along I was more comfortable sleeping on my back.

SLEEP HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE...AS YOU GET BIGGER ITS MORE DIFFICULT TO BREATHE...ESP AT NIGHT..I COULD ONLY SLEEP WHEN I WAS PROPPED RIGHT UP ON PILLOWS....HAPPY MOTHERHOOD
