No: Abdominal pain caused by lying on a side in third trimester is most likely related to ligament and muscle pain and will not hurt your baby. A good way to check fetal well being at home is doing a kick count: lay down, drink something cold or sugary and count the times you feel the baby move in an hour. If you get to 10, it is normal. If not, count for another hour, if still not 10 go to hospital
