Get used to sleeping on your left side. Not only do you get better blood flow, but when you are further along, it helps tremendously with heartburn. I still roll all over from tummy to back but have been practicing sleeping on my left side. It doesn't really matter a whole lot now, but it does help later on.

Well i've been trying to sleep on my left side but yesterday morning i woke up in pain from it. I'm not sure if i just slept a bit twisted or something though. I'm again scared i might have hurt lil un! I've really gotta stop panickin about the smallest thing !!!
It's surely too early too be sleeping with a cushion underneath is it not?
I feel comfier tho when i put the duvet under my tummy although it's a little odd!
Sleepin on your side is perfect, unless doc warns otherwise! Your left side in particular is best because it gets the baby in the perfect position for labour!
Side Laying Babies
Your baby is anterior if he is facing your back. So your baby's spine is curled along the front of your belly and his face is towards your spine. Your baby is "anterior" if his spine is straight up against your belly. If baby position is turned slightly to your right, he is "right anterior;" if he is turned slightly to your left, then he is "left anterior." Anterior is the favored baby position. It allows the baby to most easy maneuver through your pelvis and out into the world.
