trouble sleeping

hopefulrockygirl

anyone else having trouble sleeping? I'm only 15 week but really can't sleep well. Between still getting up to pee every hour or so and then not being able to get comfortable its tough! I keep waking up sleeping on my stomach and then I panic and can't go back to sleep, I try to sleep on my side but then my back hurts. I told my DH that we needed to get a pregnancy pillow this weekend I hope that helps! Thanks for listening I'm exhausted! Maybe its preparing me for nighttime feedings?

YES!!!  every night.  it's driving me crazy.

first of all, don't worry about sleeping on your stomach.  your body will stop doing it when you need to stop (it's strange but true).  don't let that freak you out.

i talked to DH this morning about it and we think it's time to break out the snoogle.  i LOVED it last time but it's really big so i didn't want to take it out until i had to.

good luck!  i hope the pillow helps!

Like the pp said, don't worry about waking up on your stomach.  Both times I would wake up on mine until I was about 25 weeks.  Your body will let you know when you can't do it anymore.  I have a snoogle and while it does help some, I don't get fabulous sleep at night.  But it will help.  Good luck!!!! I hope you can get comfortable.  The peeing is annoying.

Thank you all so much! Its good to know I"m not alone! Also it helps knowing its not horrible if iI'm on my stomach, I was afraid I would squish them! I think I'll pick up the snoogle this weekend and see if it helps at all, I'm sure I'll need it soon anyway!

I have the snoozer pillow that I put in front.  Then I line pillows up behind me to keep me on my left side.  The pillow really helped me.  Now if I can kick those late night sweet cravings when I lay down.
