The enlarging uterus can compress the abdominal aorta which is the major blood vessel supplying the organs and also the uterine artery.Then blood flow to the organs and uterus if compromised growth of the baby will be affected.If you lie on your sides this will not happen.But this is the complication in late pregnancy only say after 7 months
