Getting enough quality sleep is essential for everyone, but it can be especially challenging for pregnant women. As your belly grows, it can become increasingly difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position. However, there is one position that is generally considered to be the best sleeping position for a pregnant woman: on your left side.
Sleeping on your left side helps to improve circulation and reduce swelling in your legs and feet. It also helps to keep your uterus off of your major blood vessels, which can help to prevent back pain and hemorrhoids. Additionally, sleeping on your left side may help to reduce the risk of stillbirth.
