Subject: [ozmidwifery] Advice on positions for sleeping while pregnant
I am wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
I am 31 weeks pregnant and my baby has been lying head down with it's back on my right hand side for about a month.
I have heard that it is good for me to lie on my left side to encourage the baby to move to the left side to reduce the chance of it going posterior during labour. Apparently this is because they like to turn clockwise.
I have also heard that it is good for me to avoid slouching back as this could encourage the baby to move into the posterior position prior to labour.
This has made me worried about whether I should avoid lying on my back for the same reason?
The problems for me is that I am finding sleeping quite hard anyway, and I prefer sleeping on my back or my right side. I also love lying on my beanbag, which I would say is probably slouching!
Do you think I should worry about all of this now, in a few weeks, or just lie how I feel comfortable?
Thanks in anticipation
Regards
Ilana
