That's about what I was told as well...that you will know if something is "wrong" and you need to move long before it will affect the baby.

I don't worry about it now and sleep however I can ~ but I switched sides of the bed with my OH so when I do sleep on my left side, I'm facing outward instead of into him. I don't like feeling stifled!

No it wont cause issues if you sleep on your right side. It wont cause issues if you sleep on your back because you'll wake up and move before anything goes wrong.
I've read the reason why they say left side is because it puts less weight on your liver. Tis all.

i read it was about your vena cava (Always reminds me of a fizzy wine!...hhahah) which drains fluid from your lower body. it's on the right side of our spine, so laying on our left reduces pressure on it so it can keep draining better and we dont get fat ankles or legs and everything works well with regards to getting things flowing to buba.
Ah well, I'll swap between left and right as is comfiest.

Thanks guys x

When I was pregnant I laid on whatever side, or back so I could sleep, most times it was on my back or left hand side!

That sounds possible too. LOL I never know what's true and what's made up in th articles I read.

The back is because of the Vena Cava.
Your right side is because of your liver.
You're both righttt!
