Does side sleeping with frequent turning during pregnancy affect the baby?

Patient's question:

Doctor, does it affect the baby if a pregnant woman sleeps in a side position while napping and keeps turning? Is it normal to have lower back pain after standing for a long time? Is it normal to have frequent hiccups and urination?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described above, in the early stages of pregnancy, there is no interference. If it occurs in the later stages of pregnancy, it is recommended to lie on your left side. Standing for a long time can cause discomfort in the lower back. Hiccups and urination are normal because the shrinking uterus compresses the bladder.
This is the advice for the question "Does turning over while sleeping sideways during pregnancy affect the baby?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
