Sleeping on the left side

I'm only 14 1/2 weeks so my belly isn't too big and uncomfortable at night. My OB said I don't have to start sleeping on the left side until 24 weeks. Did any of your doctors prescribe a certain week when this would be more important? I just wonder if I should start doing it from now.

    Um I was told that sleep how you want but left is recommended but the right side isn't bad and if u sleep on your back make sure if you start feeling light headed or weird turn onto your side.

    Hmmm, I've never heard of "sleep however you want". Interesting. I don't feel anything when I'm not on my left side. I usually go to sleep that way and wake up on my back.

    The only time was ever told to sleep on my right side was with my first when blood pressure got high and started swelling. With 2nd the doc never recommended it and I didn't have high blood pressure or nothing and wit this one the doc hasn't said anything either :) don't worry about it! Unless doc says you need to! Sleep however you are comfortable you need the rest.
