Side sleeping

Question

I used to sleep on my stomach or back. But now that I am in 2nd trimester, I heard it is advisable to sleep on the side. I tried it a few nights but I was not used  to it. And woke up in the middle of night  by shoulder pain and arm numbed. It affected my sleep😩what should I do?#pleasehelp #advicepls #sleepingposition

Im in my third trimester and I still find it hard to sleep on my side. That youll find it easier as you get bigger since it becomes uncomfortable to sleep on your back is a myth. I prop a pillow on my back to keep me in place and hug a pillow + bolster on my left. Honestly though some days I give up and just lie with my back on a pillow to my right so Im not flat on my back - I read that its fine as long as theres a bit of a tilt.
