Nope!  Most of the night seems to be spent on my back, and otherwise I notice I'm on my right side more often.  Left side isn't comfortable and sometimes hurts, so my body won't let me stay there for long.

Nope,  I do sometimes but i also sleep on my right side and on my back, and occasionally on my stomach
Left side recommendation has to do with helping your lymph system work most efficiently. It's good but not crucial.

Nope. I have to switch between my left and right side multiple times throughout the night.

I start on the left as well and end up on the right side.  I can't stay on one side for very long though and it's harder for me to turn now

I'm a side sleeper, and for some reason during pregnancy I end up on my back. I don't think I have the "umph" to turn as I sleep anymore. But i will wake up and turn on my side.

Not all night usually I start out on my left side then switch sides in the middle of the night cause it's more comfortable there are some nights I have to prop myself up a little and sleep on my back
