Just pregnant and sleeping, the lower abdomen is uncomfortable no matter where I lie

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the best sleeping position during pregnancy is left lateral decubitus. Lying flat may cause symptoms such as dizziness, while left lateral decubitus can alleviate these symptoms and is also more beneficial for fetal movement. It is recommended to adopt the left lateral decubitus position. Right lateral decubitus may compress the ureter, leading to kidney swelling, and left lateral decubitus is considered the best sleeping position.
