Am 34week pregnant and i can't sleep on my left side because of pain, what should i do since sleeping on the left is the best posture?

Sleep anyway u can: At 34 weeks, sleep anyway that you can as long as it isn't on your back which will slow blood return to the heart due to uterine compression with the baby on the main blood vessel (inferior vena cava).
