Time to break out a body pillow. The other night my entire left leg fell asleep. So much for that left side circulation thing. My right side has been much better. So hopefully the body pillow will help out with all the aches and pains. Has anyone else experienced pain from just laying down? And if so did the body pillow help?
I started sleeping with a body pillow during my first pregnancy - and never stopped! It is AWESOME. I tend to get an achey back and hips anyway (even when NOT PG), this helps get rid of that almost entirely.
It doesn't seem to matter how I lay, I always wake up with an arm or leg asleep. I don't have a body pillow but I do use (and did even before PG) a king size pillow on either side of me and a smaller one between my legs. I think I might ask for a snoogle for Christmas and see if that helps any.
Yes, it's been painful for the last couple of weeks. I finally got a Snoogle and I absolutely LOVE it! I got the wrap around, contoured fit one, and I spent $65 on it but it was well worth the money. It provides back support for sleeping on your side, support for between your legs so your back is aligned, and support in the front.
In the last week, sleeping became very uncomfortable for me. And then I was miserable all day from sleeping so bad and felt achey all over. Out of desperation, I took a trip to Babies R' Us and got this Preggle pillow.
It has made a huge difference.
