A. Yes you can sleep on any side. But don't sleep straight on back. That causes problems to you and also baby. Start regular exercise and daily walk. At last The best exercises for normal delivery are Pelvic stretch, squats, walking, and yoga. In yoga you can do Vakrasna (Twisted pose) Utkatasana (Chair pose) Konasana (Angle pose) Bhadrasana (Butterfly pose) Yastikasana (Stick pose) Have proper sleep and good nutrition. Maintain vaginal hygiene. Eat less but more times. Avoid heavy meals.
