Ive been reading thats its really good to sleep on your left side...Why exacly is that? Why is the left side much better then your right side? Im just curious lol

You know, I heard that too somewhere. I think I read its good for later on in the pregnancy, but I don't know why.......I should lurk around here till someone who can explain comes along, I had this question too hehe!

for me its cos bubs lays on my left so my bump isnt so heavy I think its all something to do with your insides and where they are positioned!

Im sure as well its good to lay on your left to get bubs in a better position for labour

Some of the other girls will have a much better explanation lol!!

It maximises the flow of nutrients to the placenta. Laying on your left side offers the least constriction of blood vessels. Here is an article I found.

Yep what spellbound said!

Apparently to do with improved blood flow to uterus and also later on in pregnancy sleeping on your left side regularly apparently helps the baby into a good position for labour, as leedsforever said. They make body pillows specifically designed to encourage you to sleep on your left for this reason.

thanks everyone

interesting post, thanks x

ya, its to do with the placenta.

To be quite honest, any side I can get comfortable I sleep on. I find it hard enough to fall asleep without restricting myself to a certain position!

Yeah as others have said its better blood flow to baby if you lay on your left xx

as you get further along and baby gets big, laying on your back can press on your Vegas Nerve which can cause you to pass out!! dont worry tho, your body will naturally warn you in advance to move before this happens!!!

my Vegas Nerve doesn't work as it should so i have to be carfeull anyway!!!
