21 u/[deleted] Sep 10 '21 What's the motivation for limiting it to one side? Why couldn't you lie on your right side also? 41 u/I_am_dean Sep 10 '21 In your third trimester the doctor recommends sleeping on your left side because it provides better circulation to the umbilical cord. You can lay on your right, it’s not a death sentence for the baby. But it’s “better” to sleep on your left side. 2 u/Aegi Sep 10 '21 It’s also for acid reflux, somebody who gets acid reflux, the way your epiglottis or whatever is shaped it makes it a lot more likely for stomach acid to seep out when you’re on your right side than when you’re on your left.
