I slept however I could get comfortable ! A wedge pillow really helped me be more comfortable on my side towards the end !

Just lay however is comfortable! You'll wake up if you're pinching anything important! I slept on my back most of my pregnancy, and then slept on whichever side was comfortable at the end. I was often switching sides all night long.

My doc told me up until 20 weeks to sleep however i wanted, and after that, to sleep how i was comfortable, which, she said, would likely only be on my sides. I'm not quite 20 weeks yet so we'll see, but in any given night i sleep a little in every position...anything to get some sleep! Sleeping on your back for short periods is not harmful (particularly before 20 weeks, when it shouldn't be an issue) and sleeping on your stomach is fine as long as you are comfortable that way (which apparently eventually you won't be!) I've never heard that sleeping on your right is bad, just that sleeping on your left is optimal, so i wouldn't worry too much about left or right if one is must more comfortable for you!

I was worried about this just this morning! I have a snoogle which has really helped me get comfortable on my sides. I know I'm supposed to stay on my left but I need to switch sides throughout the night in order to get comfortable. Sometimes though my back is the best position, which I know I'm supposed to avoid...ahhh!

I have a mini version of the snoogle which is just a J shape that doesn't go under my head (I have neck pain and need to use a special pillow) and it helps. But I still wake up on my back several times a night. It is the most comfortable position for me to sleep in at 33 weeks. I have a deviated septum so it's harder for me to breathe out of my right nostril which makes left side sleeping harder, plus the little man punches the mattress if I'm on my side so I naturally flip onto my back.
