Fans are sharing their pregnancy sleeping advice with Serena Williams

On your back. On your side. Hanging upside-down from the ceiling like a bat.

All pregnant ladies know that getting comfy as your bump grows can be tricky, especially when it comes to sleeping. Poor Serena Williams has been finding that this is the case recently.

The athlete is due to give birth in the autumn and seems to be struggling when it comes to settling down for the night. She took to her Twitter last night, seeking suggestions on how to comfortably turn over with a bump. https://twitter.com/serenawilliams/status/887491335980298240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.co.uk%2Fentry%2Fserena-williams-pregnant-sleep_uk_596f0fbfe4b0000eb196dadc Her followers responded in their droves.

Lay on your left side and put a pillow between your legs. I only lay on my left side it's best for the baby. I believe it's blood flow.

Silk or satin sheets. The more slippery the better!

Oh goodness, I remember those days. My key was to roll onto my back first, then rest for a minute before rolling to the other side.

Go slow! When you are this far along NOTHING is comfortable!

Meanwhile, this follower made a pretty good point.

Just throw a backhand and your body will follow. Strange to give a woman advice on how to move when she moves better than any other human.
