Sleeping on the side

Hi all, need advice. I am currently in my 34th week. I have read that it is recommended to sleep on the left? In my case, when I turn to the left, baby keeps kicking but when I turn to the right, baby does not. Anyone has experienced this? It is preventing me from having good sleep at night. TIA.

I am at week 33. Also experience the same thing. I was able to sleep well on left side during 1st and 2nd trimester. Since week 32, i have problems sleeping on my left. Will turn to my back or right side. But i try to go back to my left whenever possible

What i know by sleeping on the left side.. u will give oxygen& blood to the baby.. i've been sleeping on the left side the moment i found out i was pregnant.. and ya until now im at 33weeks my baby is fine&healthy..

Yes, at 34th week, I can’t sleep well too. I find this article informative https://sg.theasianparent.com/safe-sleeping-positions-pregnancy
