i've always been a back sleeper. but last few months, tried to condition myself to sleep on side as it's supposedly more comfy as we get bigger. last night i finally felt breathless when sleeping on back. so alternate between left & right.
i find it more comfy to sleep on right, probably cos im a right hander. when sleeping on left, shoulder and arm aches after awhile. u've just got to experiment with pillows, bolsters & positions i guess.
the worst thing abt this is that u go through so many pillows & bolsters! some i buy, try then reject - end up with so many unused ones! keep at it, it will get better with practice 
(funny la sleep also need practice)

BB r normally more active at night coz we're not moving much and the womb is not shaking. In the day, we move i.e. womb rocks as well, then is like rocking bb to sleep. Thus, less kick in the day.
Btw 10times per hr like too much rite. 10 x 24 = 240. I heard is at least 10 a day.

I've read in What To Expect when you're Expecting about the 10 x movements an hour topic. The book's advice is if that quota is not met, then monitor for another hour. If <10 x in 2 hours, inform gynae.
Obviously, there are different methods and quantifiers applied by different professionals. I also believe each bb has unique temperament, some more active than others, then there are active vs lull periods. When we're distracted e.g. at work, we don't pay attn & will miss movements too.
As long as mine is consistently moving now and then, I'm think it's fine.

joelle & stephanie: thanks... will do tat next wed when seeing my gynae~
oh in case any mummies are still worried abt the 10 x an hour thing, the book also advises that u sh take into account bb's active periods.
so there is no need to monitor 10 x an hour EVERY HOUR, 24 hrs a day - bb needs sleep too!
instead it should be, during your bb's usual active period, monitor for 10x an hour.
i think this website also supports the same theory somewhat:

i don really monitor bb's movements leh, as in counting how many times she move. When i was at gynae's place for checkup, the U/s show she is moving but i don feel it, sometimes cant feel her movements. Everyday so long as i can feel her movements i don panic. Got once she keep quiet for the whole day, only at night few kicks, make me scared man.

jaspire: wow ur bb is big... u opt for c-sec? if not, it will be difficult to deliver thru natural birth. mine only 745g at 25wks. gynae said weight is good, not too big/small.
My baby weight 729g at 24th weeks.. Did not make any adjustments to my diet or increased my nutrition level.
Now, I am taking Frisomum milk - 1 to 2 cups per day as I read that baby tends to draw more calcium from mummy during the last trimester.
Used to drink 1 cup of milk / week.

Re: Baby weight.
Mine was like 800gm when I was in the 24th week. Was worried that bb might be over weight.. hee cos during the antenatal class, I was told that bb weighs about 720gm in the 6th month. I was like thinking, did I eat too much ?

jaspire,
Like u, am going for c-sec earlier maybe in late mar as advised by AL Lim. Would be taking GA too for my c-sec hee. Just hope bb can come out only in apr nearer my edd instead of mar. My bb weighs ard 824g in wk 25. Gynae warning me abt my wt gain liao, now gain like 13.4kg in all, faint. I thnk i gain one of the most here and mar 08 mummies. Now better watch diet liao since my growth also bigger with bb.
