35weeks-36weeks

I'll be 36weeks in two days and I am always catching myself sleeping or more comfortable on my right side...everyone tells me to lay on my left side..is could something be wrong with me if I prefer the right side?

Also since I'm nearing the end is there anything anyone recommends me doing or taking at this point? Not medicine wise but like tea, or just like what y'all like to do at the end, watch all the Harry Potter movies lol I have quite a lot of time on my hands now that I'm not working and I feel useless

I'm 31 weeks and I prefer my right side as well. I used to sleep on my left side my whole pregnancy but now I find it hard to fall asleep so switched to my right. I hear sleeping on your back isn't good for the baby though.  A body pillow really helps as well

Hi im 38 weeks pregnant and sometimes find myself comfortably snoozing off on my right side. Recommendation i got a few weeks ago is to drink Raspberry leaf tea its suppose to help soften the cervix- so i have been trying to drink atleast 4cups a day (no signs of baby yet). Good luck with the pregnancy

There's nothing wrong with being comfortable on your right side that's your own personal preference . That doesn't mean anything is wrong with you or your baby . However , doctor's prefer you to sleep on your left side because they feel laying flat on your back or on your right side decreases oxygen from the baby . I'd recommend a body pillow this late in pregnancy as I am also almost 36 weeks . And I recommend permit tea or gingerbread spice tea ( caffine free ) . I enjoy making sure everything is clean and organized for the baby and packing my hospital bag . But take it easy .
