If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.

I slept on my left when heavily pregnant, but that was to do with reflux and indigestion and it was advised. I tend to sleep on my left all the time, maybe this is why I have 3 boys!!!

That totally holds true for my last two pregnancies. WHat does wanting to lie on your back mean?

Weird!!! I love laying on my left side, through pregnancy and otherwise, and have done so for years- bad back. Hmmm....

You are advised to lay on your left side during pregnancy, it has something to do with not blocking a huge artery that runs down your body. I now favor my left because of the directions of pregnancy books.

I was told by my Dr to just lay on a side and not my back... I layed on my left a lot because it was the only way to get DS1 to stop kicking my liver while I slept.

Maybe all this has to do with the location of the placenta and how the baby fits... boys may favor one side over the other.

Left side and have 2 girls! But I also shift to the right some also, my back always hurts around 5am from laying too long, pg or not.

Normally I turn around a lot and also sleep on my tummy. But I sleep most on my right side and have 4 girls.
So Im trying to sleep on the left now and in the 2ww for sure.

Does this count towards what you are TTC? Or just how you sleep when pg?

Sleeping on the left suppose to help conceive a boy. But It is just another OWT I guess.

Wow, this is strange, I love sleeping on my right, but since being pregnant Ive been sleeping on the left mmmm
Probably just a coincident, I dont take these things seriously, but they are fun to do.

This is funny because before I even saw this I realized the past year or so I've been sleeping on my right. Before that I preferred left. I had 2 boys and am now pg with a girl. Weird! Must be a coincidence but kind of freaky!
