I see. Chiropractor taught me, put leg you're resting on the bed 90° angel with top leg dangling off bed to eleviate back troubles. Now I stay on my side after doing this in for sleeping. Try & discuss it with your doctor. Hope it helps.

They also say that sleeping on the left side is better when pregnant, because it allows blood flow to arteries that carry blood to the placenta.
