Should I Sleep On My Left Or Right Side While Pregnant
Camila Farah
We do want to mention the exception to right side sleeping and that is pregnant women.
In these cases sleeping on the left side increases blood flow to the fetus. This is for the following reasons. One of the smaller research studies from auckland new zealand showed that women who sleep on their left side on the last night of pregnancy halved their risk of stillbirth compared to those who slept on their right. Positioning yourself on the left side of your body allows for optimal blood flow from the inferior vena.
Obviously stomach sleeping is out and back sleeping can put too much pressure on the spine. If you have an otherwise healthy pregnancy and absolutely can t sleep on your left rolling over to the right is probably nothing to worry about pien said. In fact it might be better for you.
