Sitting up to sleep

Anyone else sleeping sitting up?? I wake up with the worst back pain because I end up in the most awkward positions, but I cannot sleep laying down or I wake up choking on acid reflux.  I would really appreciate it if LO would drop, although with my 5'1 frame, it probably won't make a difference.  Just wish I could sleep better....

    I remember when my first one dropped (and she didn't drop a whole lot) I was able to breath a bit easier BUT trying to walk was horrible.

    Took me a half an hour to get from the entrance of the grocery store to the car....my hips hurt so bad.

    So be careful what you wish for!!!

    I have been sleeping propped up for quite a while for the same reasons... and it is hard!

    I'm thinking about moving to the easy chair and putting pillows on my sides to help me stay up-right and not bent over and curved.

    I sleep propped up about half the time.  I actually sleep better so I should do it full time!

    I am sleeping in our recliner now. I am carrying so low and my pelvis and hips are in so much pain and laying down makes it worse. I would be so happy just to lay down for a little bit.

    The crazy part is that she feels so low that it makes me waddle, but at the same time she is pushing into my ribs!  We have our growth u/s tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if she's huge! lol

    I also sleep sitting up. My back doesnt hurt but I noticed that I've been clenching my teeth/jaws, I guess because my neck is working to keep me up straight. So I've been waking up with headaches.

    I've been sleeping sitting straight up! It's almost like I'm sitting in bed and just passed out. I used to kind of "slouch" but even that doesnt work anymore. The acid is so bad. DH was really worried the other night when I work up choking and I was BARELY slouched! I'm soooo over this acid reflux! I had zantac and tums that night too - I guess it stopped working. It does a number on my lower back too - just not very comfy :-(

    I've been sleeping in a oversized chair with my legs propped up on the ottoman for a 'lil over a month.  The hip and knee pain got too unbearable and sleeping laying down seemed to make the carpal tunnel pain worse as well.  The sucky thing is...now sleeping in the chair isn't working too well either.  I tried going back to the bed...that only lasted one night.
