What should pregnant women do if the baby is pressing against their stomach?

It is best for pregnant women not to lie flat on their backs when they lie down, because this will increase the pressure on the stomach, thereby increasing the discomfort of the stomach being pushed. It is recommended that pregnant women sleep on their side, preferably on their left side.
