Before getting PG, I was a big time stomach sleeper. While PG, I couldn't wait to sleep on my stomach again, but once I was fully recovered and could stand to lay on my stomach (I had a c/s) it wasn't comfortable at all! My back gets achey and I just can't sleep that way anymore. I also can't sleep without a pillow between my legs, which was something I didn't do before I got PG.

I still wish I could sleep on my stomach, it used to be so freakin' comfortable!

Yeah. Me!

I used to sleep on my tummy all the time, but ever since the kids, I just rarely do anymore.

Not me! And everytime I lay on my stomach, I smile, I missed it so much Actually, my back does get achey when I lay on my stomach, but I power through.

Just sucks when I get engorged and leak, yuck.

Every once in awhile I can sleep on my tummy but for some reason, it sometimes hurts my back (might be the mattress). Its not as comfy as it used to be - oh and I had a c-section too, not sure if its related.

Oh I totally forgot about that! It was not comfy sleeping on big rocks. LOL

Yup, me too! I also used to sleep on my side a lot more and now I'm mostly a back sleeper. I will say that it took me a long time to try to sleep on my tummy...it felt so awkward after my c/s. Now I'm feeling awkward and discomfort in my back and oddly enough on my jaw (I tend to clench my teeth and jaw more if I'm on my tummy).

I could have said this word for word. I still need a pillow on my back, inbetween my legs, and in front.

me too! I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs every night and I never did before I was pregnant!

Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking the same thing this morning, when I woke up to an achey back. I did not have a c/s but I experience the same thing. I think it is a redistribution of weight in my case.

This is really interesting. I thought I was just whack, but it sounds like it's pretty common.

I can't anymore either.

I was a full time stomach sleeper until I got PG. Now I'm only comfortable on my side and with a pillow between my knees. When I sleep on my stomach, I wake up with a full back ache and stiffness.
