Sleeping positions?

Good Morning! I'm up after yet another sleepless night.  I'm having a terrible time getting comfortable at night and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how I can make it better.  I'm having some serious sciatica issues, especially at night. It is terribly painful for me to switch sides.  Baby B is very breach, and his head feels like it is in my chest. Sometimes it feels like he keeps moving up & up, which is very uncomfortable.  I have lots of pillows, including a body pillow, but nothing is helping.  Any thoughts?

    I am right there with ya in the being uncomfortable!  I have a Snoogle, which has really helped.  At first it was awkward to sleep with, but now I am using to it.  I have also been having sciatica pain so I can't sleep on my left side too long, other wise I get the shooting pains.  Sometimes the best way for me to sleep it sorta sitting up. 
    Love my girls!!

    I feel your pain.  I wake up twice a night now with pain in my hips.  I assume it is because the weight of my belly pulls on them when I sleep on my side.

    More pillows! Try sleeping on an incline. I have 4pillows adjusted so I can 1)keep belly pressure off of my chest 2)relieve hip pain at night and during the day 3) keeps cats from trying to sleep on my belly :-) I also have a belly wedge that is amazing! It was the best $12 I've ever spent (got it at BRU). I wake up a few times a night to scoot back up the bed, after scooting down and to adjust the wedge. But I sleep pretty hard like this...until I wake up with the munchies...

    I have no advice, but I sympathize. I get more uncomfortable by the day. My Snoogle isn't helping much anymore either. I'm either not sleeping b/c of the joint pain, the shortness of breath or I'm up to pee every 2 hours. It sucks. No 2 ways about it. I can't wait to be able to sleep on my stomach. Sad
