Serena Williams appealed to the internet for advice after struggling to find a comfortable position to sleep in while pregnant.

“I’m having trouble going from my left, to my right, to my left side,” she tweeted on Wednesday 19 July.

Hi Serena! My wife slept with a really large pillow between her legs that went up to her chest and it was a lot more comfortable for her!

Silk or satin sheets. The more slippery the better!

Roll on your back, Mama...then roll right/then back/ then left. You have to sing the lyrics to the Tootsie Roll! I don't make the rules.

I just had to pick ONE good side and ride it out til delivery. The baby picked the side lol.

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.
