hi all! It is advised that at this stage to sleep on the left side. But when I sleep on the left side, I feel a lot of pain in my hip and entire leg. In fact, I feel pain in the left leg even when I sleep on the right side. Anybody else with a similar problem? Nowadays, I sleep on the right side most of the time. Am I harming my baby by sleeping on the right side? Ranjini replied. Hi,
I first tried to sleep on my left only. But later when i consulted my Doctor she said i can sleep in any position as far i feel comfortable. Nowadays i realize that though i try and sleep on my left, after i sleep i turn automatically and sleep on my back.So, when i wake up i find myself sleeping on my back most of the times. Is this really ok?...am i doing any harm to my baby?.Pls advice
Thanks
Ranjini vidya replied. hi R,
well, even i have the same problem. I experience lots of pain in the left leg and even i sleep on my right most of the time. I think there is nothing much we can do... but once u get sleep, i can sleep on my left. The problem is, i feel the pain only untill i feel sleepy. Plz do not take any medications but try to read a boring book to fall asleep.
Hope this helps.

vidya poojaNY replied. Hi R,
Sleeping on the left side is defintely beneficial but if ur uncomfortable then dont stress urself. Lying down on teh right hand side is also not bad only dont lye on ur back. try putting two pillows underneath or between ur thighs, this helps me a lot.
take care
