During the third trimester of pregnancy, it is recommended for pregnant women to sleep on their left side to improve blood flow to the baby and uterus. Lying flat on the back should be avoided as it can compress major blood vessels and potentially reduce blood flow to the baby. This position may also lead to discomfort and shortness of breath for the mother.
