Is it ok to sleep slightly tilted up during pregnancy or slightly angled to to the left? i'm 22w4d with marginal previa. all left causes me hip pain

Yes.: Sleeping partially tilted to the left or at a partially upright angle is fine. Although we prefer the left side, you may also sleep on your right side. The main idea is to not sleep flat on your back. Also try a pillow under your hips.
