Yes. Unless you have a problem with your abdominal aorta or blood flow to your lower body. Pregnancy (usually third trimester) can also cause problems by putting pressure on your abdominal aorta and decreasing blood flow to your lower body.

No! Sleeping on your back can result in backaches, hemorrhoids, decrease in circulation for you and your baby, low blood pressure, and digestive problems. The best position to sleep in during pregnancy is on your side.

Either left or right will place the developing baby more to one side and lessen the downward pressure on the pregnant woman's internal organs. The left side is favoured to increase blood flow to the baby, though it would not be comfortable to only lay on the left side all the time, so use both left and right alternately.

Either side is fine but the left side is highly recommended because it allows for optimum blood flow to the baby.

Because lying on your back or right side maybe cutting off oxygen to the baby by putting pressure on the artery that goes to the uterus, later in pregnancy.
