It is best to lay on your left side, allowing increased blood-flow and nutrients to go to the placenta. Laying on your right side puts pressure on the Inferior Vena Cava. The major blood vein that carries De-oxygenated blood that eventually passes through the liver and the uterus. Do not sleep on your back if you can help it, since laying on your back while pregnant since the uterus will put pressure on the spine, back muscles, and major blood veins and intestines, which will reduce circulation for you, and the baby. It will most likely help, when laying on your left side, to prop a pillow under your belly to reduce the uncomfortable tugging sensation from the weight of the baby.
