Hey, Mama's! I'm just wondering when you sleep at night, which side is the most comfortable for you?
I notice that I'm more comfortable sleeping on my right side and I am in my 3rd trimester. But I have read an article it's best to sleep on your left. What's your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for who will answer. 😊🙏🏼

I started sleeping on my left causd i rwad it was better and just becams more comfodtable
@Morgan I see. Thanks for sharing. I actually put lots of pillows because if I'm not elevated sleeping, after a while, my side belly feels pain or I would be gassy. As long as my back is elevated, it helps me to sleep comfortably. I would switch from side to side. I just noticed my right side is more comfortable and no pain. I talked about it to my midwife, and she also said that I just go for whatever is most comfortable.
@Jen that was me 1st to 2 trimester. Now on my 3rd trimester is different.

My midwife told me it really doesn’t matter too much in terms of side or even sleeping on your back, whatever is most comfortable for you and if it was putting your body in distress your body would let you know/ wake you up. That being said I still try to avoid laying straight on my back as it’s not very comfy for me. Best position for me is on left side with a pillow wedged at my back so when I lean back I’m sort of sleeping on a supported angle, if that makes sense! I also find it easier to breathe that way instead of fully on my side.
