Hello- Ayurveda always advises a pregnant women to sleep on her back in all three trimesters as it avoids some complications which occur due to proper sleep posture including umbilical cord strangulation around neck of the baby. So its totally safe and good to sleep on the back.

It is not advisable to sleep straight as the blood vessels in the back of the abdomen are pressed by lying straight which lessens the blood supply to the baby and placenta. I will advise you to sleep either right or left side or you can keep a pillow beneath years hip on left side or right side if it helps you.

Arpita, it is better to sleep on left lateral position in pregnancy . If you sleep in straight supine position it will create pressure on blood vessels which will reduce blood flow to baby.
