    I have a horseshoe-shaped pregnancy pillow from my first pregnancy, and I broke out that bad boy early this time.  I love it because when I roll over I don't have to take the pillow with me, and the top of the horseshoe serves as my head pillow.

    i was a stomach sleeper but had stopped that during the cycle.  now i'm trying to stay on my left side but keep flipping to my right and end up waking up on my back during my many bathroom trips.  i think i'm going to invest in a snoogle (?) in a few weeks.

    I have a king sized pillow that i move from side to side with me.  Sometimes I put it under my knees and sleep on my back(that was early 2nd tri).  I too find myself waking up on my back tho.  Stomach sleeping is way in the past with this belly!  Unfortunately, my right side falls asleep sometimes and my left shoulder gives me pain so tossing and turning is all in my future.....

    Thanks ladies. Sometimes my left side falls asleep on me and my neck has the craziest pain but tonight I have moved to the foot of the bed. And have a few pillows going on. We'll see how this works.

    I know after 20 weeks, back sleeping is not recommended. I used a lot of pillows with my first pregnancy. Best of luck. I am 11 weeks and I am already having trouble sleeping

    I can't for the life of me stick to just the left side.  I asked my mid-wife about it and she said it's not worth stressing about.  Left-side, right-side, back- do whatever gets you the best sleep.  She said that if a particular position isn't okay for your body then you're going to know it.  Like how stomach sleeping isn't an option anymore, as much as I would love to there's just no way I could fall asleep like that now.
