I sleep on both sides. I spend all night long tossing and turning between the two.
I switch sides during the night but try to stay on my left as much as possible. You can fold a duvet in half and sleep on top of it for extra padding, really helped me last time.
I'm struggling massively with hip pain during sleeping. I keep moving from side to side and have a pregnancy pillow as well, I'm constantly waking up and switching sides and throwing my pillow across the room haha not looking forward to this for the next 12 weeks 😫
I've given up with my pregnancy pillow, I had hip pain whilst using it but since I've stopped it hasn't been an issue! I never wake up on my back so I think it's okay, I'm going to check with my midwife.
Yes it’s totally safe to sleep on right side but prefer to sleep on left side.
