As others said left side is the best position for pregnant women throughout the pregnancy. If you are not used to this position, you could use a 'J' pillow (you can get it in all maternity shops) and hug it to get comfort position. Later when your tummy starts showing, you can put an additional pillow on your back side for support.

I m 11^th week of pregnancy, I am healthy. Do I still need to take iron and calcium tablets? It will create any side effects.

Most of the Indians are anemic and the diet is not sufficient in iron and calcium.hence we advise routinely iron and calcium supplementation.they can cause some discomfort in the stomach for few people.most of the time it is well tolerated
