Side You Most Rest On

[purplepoet20]

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.

With both I was big on sleeping on my left side... hmm!!!

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?

[DoulaMama]

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.
