She said what most women dont know is that standing in line for a long period of time is worse then which side you sleep on. I think if you are comfortable then go ahead and keep sleeping on whichever side you desire.

Sleep how you are comfortable, the only thing I know of is sleepin gon your back is bad for you because it puts pressure on your main artery which causes hemeroids and back pain. Choose the side that is most comfortable. I also found a pillow between the legs is awesome during pregnancy. Hope that helped ^_-

They say you shouldn't lay on your back though, but if you end up on it during the night it is ok. You won't harm your baby by sleeping on the wrong side.
