Sleep...
Posted: 10-10-06 18:19pm

Ladies, I need advice. So i'm 33 weeks today and I have the most awful time trying to sleep. Last night I started off by lying on my right side... My arm went numb and I turned to my left side... My other arm went numb and so I propped my head and shoulders up with like 4 pillows (as if I was sleeping in a lazboy) and I fell asleep for like 3 hours but then I woke up with a terrible pain in my lower back and my hips... Any sleeping suggestions? Sad i'm desperate...

I have the same thing - everything goes numb!

So I sleep on my back with a pillow on each side a bit under my tummy and sometimes i'll slightly lean one way. It's the only way i've been able to get a decent sleep. I know it says not to lay on your back - but if I can sleep this way i'm going to do it!

Pillow

I found it comfortable laying on your side with a pillow in between your legs Smile it may sound weird but it worked for me.

I heard sleeping with the pillow under your legs works great. Does that long pillow really work though? I was thinking of buying it but wasn't sure if I was wasting my money or not.
