(x): Yes, the study puts the number of stillbirths for women sleeping on the left as 1.9+/1000 births and in other positions as 3.9+ /1000 births. The numbers are small, but technically if you compare the figures, other positions have double the risk than sleeping on left side.
Joyojoy: I think this study is relevant for late pregnancy, which they define as more than 20 weeks. I think for this nz-australian study, they were specifically interviewing women in their 3rd trimester. So we can use the results for our sleeping positions later.
Also joyojoy, understand you are worried. If you can, see if you can concentrate on finding a gynae you're comfortable with and in arranging an appropriate appt date (1 week later? 2 weeks later?) Believe all children developments (including in our wombs) are different. My embryo was also small for its age in my first scan but seemed to have caught up (although still a bit smaller than usual) when I had gone for my 2nd scan 2 weeks later. So it may be the case for you?
