Is anyone else having trouble trying to get comfy in bed? Im going crazy. I am so not a side sleeper. I sometimes wake up on my back and its super painful. She kicks like crazy when I'm on my back. Im trying to figure out how to get comfy to sleep through the night. Also, i wake up and my legs are SO sore. What the heck?? Anyone else having troubles? Please tell me Im not alone.

My hips have been super sore at night. ?I have one of those body pillows that I sleep with between my legs - and it helps a little. ?But sometimes I still wake up sore.

Yep! I cannot be on my back at all if i accidentally roll over there I get so dizzy I cannot see straight! Oh, and if one more person suggests I put a pillow between my legs I am going to smother them with it...it does not help my leg/hip pain!!! I will say Tylenol PM is a lifesaver! The nights I take it, i sleep so well!

YES! I haven't gotten a good night sleep in weeks! I toss and turn from side to side, and my lower back hurts and my hips ache in the mornings. I'm a stomach sleeper and I miss it. I have a body pillow, but it doesn't help all that much. If anyone has any advice, I'm all for it!

I wish I didn't, but I totally know how you feel! I toss and turn all night, and feel like it takes so much more effort to turn in bed than it used to. I feel like an old lady when I get out of bed. I am not a side sleeper either and I am going to talk to my OB at my next visit. A friend of mine said her doctor told her there was really no truth to the whole, don't sleep on your back. I am going to wait and see what the Dr. thinks though, before I go back to sleeping on my back!

Ya, the back is bad bad bad and it bums be out because im such a back and tummy sleeper. My doc said no tylenol pm....so I take Unisom like once a week to try to help out. Maybe its the pillow between my legs that makes my hips/thighs sore...

I am definitely having troubles! I wake up on my back, and then I get beat up from the inside, as well.

Or if I roll over in the middle of the night, he takes that as an invitation to have a dance party in my ute. Silly boy!!

It's been about 7 weeks since I've had anything approaching a decent night's sleep. I am normally a back sleeper, so transitioning to my side was tough. I highly, HIGHLY recommend getting a body pillow if you don't already have one. I couldn't justify shelling out for a Snoogle, so I got a regular long straight one at Target, and it really helps. I sleep kind of half on my stomach, with the pillow under it, and half on my side. I just have to be careful how much I'm leaning on my stomach - baby kicks like crazy if it's too much; I can tell he doesn't like it.

Of course, I still wake up a bazillion times to pee or change positions, but the sleep I do get is better than before. Good luck!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I was liking wedging a pillow under the side of my stomach and sleeping like half on top of it. But now I think baby hates it because she starts kicking me as soon as I do that. Now my hips hurt when I wake up. Nothing is really comfortable.

Ditto, my hips mostly get sore and I feel like I'm constantly flipping back and forth, which is getting harder to do by the day. I've started sleeping propped up on my back once in a while too, and that's a nice change/relief off my hips. Since I'm not flat on my back I hope it's okay.

I'm not a side sleeper either, and she is transverse right now and goes crazy when I'm laying on my side. I have good nights and bad nights. Close to 8 weeks left!

CincyRaysb2b · June 2009

Last night was horrible he kept kicking me if I would lay on my right side but it was uncomfortable to lay on my left side.

ENev · June 2009

I have good nights and bad nights. I sleep with a pillow between my legs which helps. I also still sleep on my back, it's still pretty comfortable for me. I'll wedge a pillow behind me so I'm sort of half on my back, half on my side ... but yeah, it can be really hard some nights to get comfortable, and I sure wake up a lot more often now! I know it'll only get worse, too ....

I just quit sleeping. Ha. Thank God I don't work anymore because I wouldn't be able to function! I literally fall asleep at 4am. It is easier for me to sleep during the day on the couch because it keeps me propped on my side. I don't want to give up sleeping with my husband just yet. He takes serious offense to that. Hopefully the next 19 weeks will go by fast!! Confused
