If u wake up on it its fine, thats wen ur body is tellin u its enuf. I was told as long as i feel  comfortable its ok, but not to sleep for longer than an hour. Just that its not recomended cos vena cava is situated there. Jst lyk sleeping on the right side is not totally recomended

It can cut off your circulation after 20 weeks. Get a body pillow!! :)
