The best sleep position during pregnancy is “SOS” (sleep on side). Even better is to sleep on your left side. Sleeping on your left side will increase the amount of blood and nutrients that reach the placenta and your baby. Keep your legs and knees bent, and put a pillow between your legs. Tuck the pillow between your bent knees to take pressure off your lower back and make side-sleeping more comfortable. Tuck one behind your back, and you'll find it easier to maintain a side-lying position throughout the night. Mom Sarah Caron put one Boppy Pillow under her stomach and one between her legs. Because your liver is on the right side of your abdomen, lying on your left side helps keep the uterus off that large organ. Sleeping on the left side also improves circulation to the heart and allows for the best blood flow to the fetus, uterus, and kidneys. When you lie on your back, the weight of the pregnant uterus slows the return of blood to your heart, which reduces blood flow to the fetus. That means the baby is getting less oxygen and fewer nutrients. Henderson says occasionally lying supine will not harm a developing fetus, but sleeping that way every night might.

Change in position in the night will not affect your baby. Rest in left side is most beneficial. But u can rest in any position which is comfortable to you without worrying.

While sleeping , how much can you control your posture? Better to take care in the daytime. Also do not take heavy dinner. Indigestion and fullness can also be a cause of lack of sleep.
