Sleeping position

I read it is advisable to sleep on the left side. But I always feel my baby on my left too. I'm worried if I would squeeze my baby. I can't sleep well thinking I would hurt my baby 😩#3rdtrimester #28weeks5days

Don't worry, your baby is safely cushioned in the amniotic fluid inside your uterus, so you won't squeeze him even if you roll onto that side during sleep. The left side position is just recommended because it helps with blood flow and reduces pressure on your liver, but honestly, sleeping in whatever position feels comfortable for you matters more than stressing about it. If the worry is keeping you up at night, might be good to bring this up with your gynae at your next visit, just so you feel more at ease and can actually get some proper rest.

Yes, my gynae said it’s more advisable to sleep on left but it’s okay to sleep on right sometimes too. Just don’t sleep on your back. You won’t squeeze your baby. Don’t worry!!
