As your body grows you will soon find that pillows will become your best friend. Sleep on your left side - This is said to be the best position for pregnant women to sleep in. Sleeping on your left side helps blood and nutrients flow to the fetus and uterus and helps the kidneys eliminate waste and fluids. Nearing the end - As you near the end of your pregnancy, you may find that sleeping flat is just not going to happen. Elevating your upper body with pillows will help your breathing, as will raising the head of your bed, by placing blocks under the mattress.
Some moms find it more comfortable to sleep in a recliner during the last few weeks of pregnancy.
