    I still wake up on my stomach, no matter which way I fall asleep.

    I have to sleep on the couch. It's the only thing that is comfortable!

    My doctor said I was okay on my stomach until 20 weeks, so I'm not worried about it too much. But I usually sleep half on my side/half on my stomach anyway.

    Get a body pillow!! Mine was $20 at Bed, Bath and Beyond and I love it!

    I pretty much sleep on my stomch but with on leg out to the side and my knee bent so that I'm not right on my belly.  I'm have a hard time sleeping on my side.

    try a pillow between your legs, with DD I had the bed up against a wall so I leaned on the wall when I went to sleep, which was nice for DH because then he had more room!

    Lots of pillows are nice!

    It is really hard for me, too.  I have ALWAYS been a back sleeper.  I fall asleep on my left side, but wake up at least 3 or 4 times a night on my back.  My sis bought be a wedge to put under my belly which helps make side sleeping more bearable for me.

    My midwife said just sleep whatever way is comfortable. I was worried about the whole side sleeping thing, because lately I prefer my back - and she said sleeping only on your left side is hooey.

    I have always been a stomach sleeper and just recently had to stop doing that and moved to my sides, right or left.  I do use a pillow between my legs to offset the pressure some.

    It's uncomfortable, I toss and turn all night.  I started using lots of pillows and that has helped but I can't imagine what it's going to be like in a few more months...

    I use lots of extra pillows!  One to hug and tuck under my belly.  One btn my knees.  One behind my back so I can semi sleep on my back.  My hubs says I'm encroaching his space but it's now me + baby.  So we're entitled to 2/3 of the bed, right?  Stick out tongue

    I try a body pillow in front and a regular pillow in back, I am a back sleeper all the way.  Now I wake up with achey hips, I toss and turn all night and am exhausted all day long!  Not sure if anyone else has this problem but my hands keep falling asleep and then when I get the feeling back they ache like crazy!
