Re: Sleeping on the left side
I try to & often I do because it's comfortable. But I do switch sides a lot throughout the night because otherwise I get sore. I know I'm not really supposed to sleep on my back but sometimes I wake up that way.

Re: Sleeping on the left side
I try to sleep on my left side as much as possible. I also suffer with big time sinus issues so most nights I start out on whatever side I can breathe out of at that moment.
My hips get sore throughout the night as well so I do have to toss and turn a lot.

Sleeping on the left side
I try but I keep waking up on my right. Even the maternity pillow isn't keeping me on my left. I'm on top of it by AM.

Re: Sleeping on the left side
In the beginning of the pregnancy im going to take advantage of sleeping on my stomach (im a big stomach sleeper) because once i start to get a bump it's all over..then to the left side i go!

Re: Sleeping on the left side
I started the day after I found out I was pregnant. Worked out good for me because I sleep on the left side of the bed so when I started getting big I could roll off the bed nice and easy

Re: Sleeping on the left side
I flip flop from right to left side but I always find myself waking up on my back  I was a HUGE back sleeper before becoming pregnant. It's been a hard habit to break.

Re: Sleeping on the left side
I've always slept on my left side when I was having tummy issues (incl. heartburn and gas) since things tend to flow better when you're on that side.
At this point it's starting to get annoying but I do find myself switching sides in the middle of the night. Until last week I was also sleeping on my back since I wasn't showing that much. However, I laid down for about 20 minutes this weekend to get my eyebrows done and was dizzy when I got up and for about 30 minutes after. I think my back sleeping days are over.
