12.01.2022 Going to sleep on your side from 28 weeks of pregnancy can halve your risk of stillbirth compared with going to sleep on your back. Either left or right side is equally safe. That’s why we encourage mums-to-be to #SleepOnSide for naps or overnight sleep. If you wake up on your back, don’t worry, just roll over onto your side.
