After the fifth month of your pregnancy, sleeping on your back becomes literally and practically impossible since it can lead to build up of pressure on your aorta and inferior vena cava, the blood vessels that run behind the uterus and carry blood back to the heart from the legs and feet.
Pressure on these vessels can lead to decreased blood flow to you and your unborn baby which can be very hazardous. Sleeping on your stomach is also impossible since the belly must have grown bigger and also the breasts must have also grown bigger, making the position impossible.
According to Experts, it is best to sleep on your left side.
