Do you really sleep on your left side only???

[fabemmy]

Im having a similar issue at the moment. I am trying to sleep on my left side but after awhile my left leg starts hurting and cramping so I have no choice but to switch sides. Theres no way I can just sleep on my left side all throughout rest of pregnancy.

I asked my midwife about this, she said it's nonsense and there's no proven scientific reason not to sleep on your back or other side but if very heavily pregnant to use pillows to prop yourself up if on your back xxx

Sleep??????? What's that!! I have collected the whole houses pillows and still can't find any position that is comfortable!!

Saying that i often wake on my back
I dunno if that's why i wake or if its just to pee!

I have given up! There is no way I can sleep on the left say all night When I wake up with a sore hip or back I just turn to my right side and again to left the next time I'm awake.

Hats down to those who can manage left side sleeping all through the night! x
