A member asked:
Can i die if i sleep on my right side?

No: This is an overblown recommendation in these pregnancy books. Tilting the mother to the left enhances blood flow to the baby and is beneficial in women who have serious medical problems such as severe hypertension, lupus, twins or triplets. The average pregnant woman can sleep however she wants.

No: Dr. Garvey is right. This is a screwball, superstitious claim.
