The best idea I've had this whole pregnancy!

So we all know that everything hurts right now. It hurts to sleep in any position. Naps? What the hell are naps?
Today I finally hit a breaking point with not being able to lay on my stomach, so I did something about it. I bought a 3 dollar inner tube float from Target. Blew it up, threw it on my bed, stuck my belly in the hole and napped! Best part - no pain. Got up with no achy hips and my back felt great.

I feel like I just won at pregnancy.

I feel like you deserve an award. I literally just moaned at the thought of being able to sleep on my belly. I'm more interested in that then I am in my SO lol

I have woken up quite a few times at night freaking out because I was laying on my stomach and had no clue. Defff miss it since My first baby had just decided to wean so I could slee on my tummy instead of having to stay on my side just in case she wanted to nurse

I am one of those freaks of nature that can still belly sleep, but this still sounds like an awesome idea. You win.

@GAgirlinSDakota... how?? Just a small bump?

I saw this as a meme on Facebook and wondered if it was a legit thing - sounds like it is!

Nope, this is the biggest bump I've ever had (measuring 42wks.) I'm not sure how I can still sleep that way, it just works? I have one knee bent out to the side, and maybe my huge boobs help hold me up? Otherwise I'm calling it luck.

When DS was born, I woke up the next morning feeling like I'd had the best sleep I'd had in years, which was weird given that I was in the hospital, had just given birth, etc. DS was in the NICU so I was not up all night with him- but I only slept 6 hours so it seemed weird. Then I realized it was because I had FINALLY slept on my stomach again lol.
