Hi,

I usually sleep by the left side. Recently I heard from my mom that when we turn from one side to other, we need to sit up and then turn to the other side.

Did anyone hear of this before? Is there any scientific reasoning behind this?

Please let me know your views.

Luv,
Sweety.

U can' t run, u can' t jump, u can' t travel, etc. these all things r right to some extent. But if one says, u can' t sleep even, this is a height i guess.
I feel unless our doctor gives such advice v shud not believe in these things, afterall there hv 2 b some logic behind everything.
I sorry! but i wan' t 2 share one thing wid all of u.
I don' t know y, every lady thry 2 advice in her own way & v start feeling d same way.
Y can' t v believe ourself.
u know wat, 1 lady told me dat u shud not sleep on ur left side as heart of the baby is on dat side.
Wud u beleive this.
d other 1 told me if u feel pain in ur abdomen then u shud sleep straight on ur back.
whereas both d above advices hv been proved wrong by my doc, & she advised me not 2 pay attention on such advices.
Ur doc know ur baby & u better then anyone else.
Even she knows u better then urself.
So, take care & enjoy ur pregnancy & listen to all but follow the advice of ur doc only.
be happy & take care
Maanya


Sweety replied. Thank u friends for sharing ur views. Rose replied. I' ve heard the same thing from my mom. She always advices me to sit up and then turn .. but very hard to do it when you are in deep sleep. I tried once..but never followed this routine..



pp replied. Hey dats true i have also heard the same....many people have told me that we have to sit up and turn to the other side....they say if u turn directly without sitting up the cord gets entangled around the baby' s neck....donno how far its true...my doc has not told me any such thing..... Rev replied. I too have heard that we should sit and turn to the other side and shouldn' t turn just like that... But I am not following that... Trying to follow...Without my own knowledge I just like that turn... I have to change myself. Meghnah replied. hello sweety,
well I 2 sleep on my left side,but while I turn ,I slowly turn n change my position.I sleep on my back for abt 2,3 mts,thats it..But never I turn to my right...coz I' ve heard sleeping on the left side is any day better than on right..so made its ahabbit 2 sleep on left...But anyways I 2 didnt know this,that we shd sit up n sleep on the other side..
hope we get more inputs 4m others,so that our this doubt will be cleared...

lotsa luv
