No problem.
You see this research regarding sleeping on the back was done only 45 years ago. The human race has been in existence for a few million years and they have been having babies without ever bothering whether they slept on their back or side.
You will also have your baby.
The only thing is that deliberately you should not lie on your back.
By the way, this precaution is to be observed after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
