Pain on left side!! Help Please!

[user1498467741]

Helloooooo
Can anyone share some advice or tips please! :)

I've been sleeping on my left side because its best for baby but as I've gotten larger its soon uncomfortable :( ,I keep getting rib pain and can never stay in the same position so now I sleep upright also. Pillows don't really help either ! Is there anything else I can try to get a better nights sleep?!x

Honestly you don't need to sleep on your left. I did this at the beginning of my pregnancy but struggled, mentioned it to my midwife and she said just sleep howve I'm comfortable. She said they don't give that advice to pregnant women because it's really not an issue. I sleep on my right now, as I always have, and have a proper nights sleep :)

What a relief! Thank you so much for your help :) x

Absolutely :) getting sleep is more important.
I work I'm first aid and we're always told to put a pregnant woman on her left when in the recovery position, but that's for her own blood pressure, rather than the baby. I really wouldn't worry!
