A member asked:
Is it true you cannot sleep on the right side while pregnant? i am in my second trimester.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence for that: During your sleep, it is quite probable that you do change position several times and lie on your right side, left side and on your back routinely without knowing it and without causing any harm. You are not likely to find any reliable scientific evidence to support any specific recommendation regarding your sleeping position in your second trimester of pregnancy. Continue sleeping comfortably .
