Pregnancy at 8 months, sleeping on the left side, will it affect the recovery of an injured hip bone?

Patient's question:

I am a pregnant woman, 8 months pregnant, with a twisted bone in my left hip. It hurts to move. Will sleeping on my left side affect recovery? Will sleeping on my right side affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, when sleeping, it is recommended to adopt a left lateral position. You can choose a comfortable position, alternating between the left and right sides. It is best to prioritize comfort. This situation does not affect the baby because it is well-protected in the womb by the uterus and amniotic fluid. Do not overworry.
