Sleeping positions?

I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and keep reading about how certain sleeping positions have a higher risk of stillbirth etc and just looking for some advice!
I am a stomach sleeper and still do sleep on my stomach with one hip slightly raised so I’m not completely pressing down on my stomach, sometimes the baby does start kicking so I have to move as I’m worried I’m squishing her, is this still safe to do?
Also I am trying not to but I sometimes sleep on my back, with high pillows behind my head to also not be lying completely flat, does anyone think this is a big problem? I’m so worried about causing her harm!
Sleeping on my sides hurt my hips and is so uncomfortable, even though I barely have a bump yet! Any advice on how to sleep more comfortably or safely? I’m exhausted!!
Thanks

On your stomach with a pillow propping you up (On your left) is fine. It's not squashing the baby that's the issue, it's to do with trapping nerves I think and getting baby into a good position.
