A member asked:
Is sleeping on your right side at 26 weeks pregnant bad ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prefer left side: Sleeping on your left side is preferable as it gets the pregnant uterus off of the inferior vena cava and aorta. When either is compressed there is less blood return to your heart and consequently your fetus.
