Sleeping position

Hi mummies as i am entering 3rd trimester i have been trying to sleep on my side. However, somehow i always sleep on side and part of my stomach. I am afraid this is gonna hurt the baby, anyone has the same experience? How to make sure we sleep totally on the sides without changing position? I use pregnancy pillow but it doesn’t seem to help

Same, I am too entering 3rd trim and have been trying a new sleeping position which greatly helped me relieve round ligament pains. I sleep on the left side with a bolster supporting the back (make sure this is pressed closely to your back to provide support). Small rolled up towel (adjust heigh accordingly) and put it under bump for support. Previously was using a small pillow but found it to be too high cuz bump is not that big yet and has caused me pain on my right side when I wake up. And then hug another bolster on left side. Make sure knees are symmetrical and try to sleep with back straight (not curved up) so there’s no pressure on bump and helps me breathe easier. I’ve slept like this and successfully woke up on left side for a few nights now. Hope this helps. :)
