Sleeping on my stomach hurts (and after first trimester, that isn't an option either)
Sleeping on my back isn't always comfortable (can't do that after the first trimester either)
Sleeping on either side is re-aggravating an old muscle spasm injury. Can't take my muscle relaxers. Can't take any ibuprofen. Can't take any unisom.
WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO SLEEP?
Help me.... :-(
Re: (Rant) Will I ever get a decent night's sleep?
((((I don't know)))))
Have you ever tried sleeping upright on a lounge chair?
I have to sleep on my back,. side or stomach is not an option for me for medical reasons. With my first pregnancy Dct told me I could sleep on my back till the end of the 2nd tri, after that I piled pillows behind my back and slept in a reclining position.
I've been having trouble sleeping. My sister recommended the pregnancy body pillows. I've decided to order one because I need my sleep.

Body pillows and Tylenol PM are also helpful.
You'll be able to get a decent night's sleep when your oldest can make breakfast for everyone else and your youngest is sleeping in a big kid bed. At least I hope so!
Honestly, I feel like God designed us to have restlessness during pregnancy as a way to ease us in to the sleepless nights ahead.

Why can't you take unisom?
Also, why can't you take unisom? My obgyn said its fine.
I'm really sorry to tell you this, but you won't be getting the same kind of restful sleep you are used to from before pregnancy for a very very long time. Especially if you want to have more than one kid.
There is hope though. You learn to function on whatever you get. Its not pleasant and yeah sometimes its really really tiring. You'll make it. I promise.
