In the first trimester you will able to lie prone (on your stomach) or sidelying depending on what is most comfortable for you.
In your second and third trimester you will be in a side lying position. You will be in a foetal postion, your hips and knees at 90 degrees with the support of pillows between your knees to keep your hips in a neutral position. There will be additional support from a wedge pillow under your belly to give your back a little break and you will have a towel roll to hug which will provide support for your growing chest
