Just wondered if anyone with a bit more experience could advise me on sleeping positions. I'm not at the point where I feel uncomfortable sleeping on my sides or back, but I have read how I shouldn't be sleeping on my back at all, and I shouldn't really sleep on my right either, and just stick to my left side.
I usually start on my left (mainly because DH is downstairs when I go to sleep and I prefer to face the door when I'm in the room alone). However either, if I can't get comfortable that way or if/when DH comes up and I usually wake, I then turn over to my right and go back to sleep, and stay there for several hours (usually until about 4/5am), then turn back to my left.
I rarely sleep on my back although I have woken up on it a couple of times recently.
Anyway, I'm more concerned over whether sleeping on my right is causing any problems. Trouble is I just tend to turn over when I wake up as I find a different position sends me back to sleep.
I'm 19 weeks tomorrow so not sure if I need to be worrying yet, or if it's something I need to worry about later on. I am looking into getting a sleeping pillow when I feel I'm going to start needing it, but at the moment I don't feel any bigger or different than before I was pregnant! (Only put on 1lb and stomach is just firmer, I don't think it's bigger! Am just round to start with!).
Any advice appreciated
