Patient's question:
I am 7 months pregnant and now I am required to sleep on my left side according to the instructions, but keeping this position for a long time makes my left buttock very painful, affecting my sleep. When I switch to sleeping on my right side for a few hours, I feel slightly better. Can I alternate between left and right sides while sleeping at night?Doctor's answer:
I don't know if you adopted the left lateral position because of abnormal (), or for other reasons? However, long-term left lateral position can compress the heart, which is not beneficial to the body. Therefore, you should alternate sleeping on the left and right sides.
