I want to cry, my hips are throbbing...I need to sleep on my stomach!

I have tried to stack pillows and sleep in an odd little frog position and it gives some relief but my legs fall asleep.  Of all the things to get emotional about I never thought it would be because I miss stomach sleeping soooo much!

That is one of the things I most look forward to when my body is mine again!

lol, I have done the same thing for the same reason. Doesn't work for me either. I can't wait until I can sleep on my stomach again!

My pain is my whole side...my hip, my arm (from the weight of my body) and I hate the feeling of my legs touching each other, but when I put a pillow between them it gets all uncomfy too!! Hopefully this baby isn't late and I only have to do this ten more nights!!

I've found that spending time on my birth/exercise ball at night before bed helps with the hip pain and I can make it longer in bed before the throbbing starts.  I picked one up at Target for $12 (I believe it was on sale from its normal $15) and I'm not sure what I'd do without it.  It helps immensely with hip and back discomfort.

I agree with pp.  I just bought an exercise/birth ball and my hips/lower back have been killing me day and night.  Sleeping is horrible.  I spent some time on it yesterday and today.  Every time I start to feel some pressure on my hips I sit on it for about 10-15 min and do circles.  I feel 100x better afterwards at least for a while.  I would suggest getting one.

This is why I swear by my Snoogle...I don't have nearly the hip issues I did last pregnancy.
