Sleeping Position in last trimester

Mummies , do you only sleep on your left during the last trimester? I have been trying to sleep on my left but I had trouble going to sleep.. I end up tossing and turning because I try to avoid sleeping on the right.. when i doze off on my right, i feel so guilty for my baby 🥺 #advicemommies #firsttimemom #advicepls

I think sleeping on either sides is fine, and shouldn't sleep too long on your back. I sleep on both sides cos my hips will die if I only sleep on one side. I try not to sleep on my back but ometimes I auto lay on my back while sleeping and my husband will change my position for me.

Nope, I will still subconsciously wake up on my right or back. Third trimester I mostly sleep sitting up else I can’t breathe, then slowly slide down. Anyways my baby is full term and came out healthy 😊.

I sleep exclusively on my right all pregnancy coz it was impossible for me to sleep on my left. I kept feeling like something inside me was being tugged when I lie on my left. Baby came out just fine haha

I asked my gynae the same question, and she says that as long as you don’t feel breathless while sleeping upright, it should be fine (I.e not necessary to sleep on side unless you feel breathless)

i sleep on my right most of the time. coz i felt pressure pressing my heart when i sleep on my left. really uncomfortable. i think is fine. baby growing well now 37 weeks

Honestly, i would just sleep on my back on some days. I just needed my sleep. Even i sleep on my left or right i sometimes end up on my back. Baby still born healthy

Thank you all for your replies! I will sleep on my right without guilt now 😂 I feel sooo bad ..everytime I sleep on my right but I am really realy tired
