New Zealand's official advice to expectant mothers is to sleep on their side in late stage pregnancy.
Women who sleep on their back in late pregnancy are more likely to have stillbirths as the position may cut oxygen flow to the fetus, according to new research.
While the correlation between stillbirths and back sleeping isn't new information, a University of Auckland-UK collaboration now helps to explain why this is - with New Zealand's official advice to expectant mothers being "sleep on side when baby's inside".
