I am so uncomfortable on my sides, I have to roll over every hour or so.  My hips are just killing me.  I have been trying to comfy in a sitting positon in bed with lots of pillows.  Anyone else have to do this?  I don't have a recliner in my house, but wish i did!

    ME

    I sleep until I wake up one one side.  Go to the recliner until I wake up to pee again. Then go back to bed on my other side and repeat until morning.

    I do! I rotate between 3 all equally uncomfortable positions... left side, right side, sitting propped up on my back rest supporter thing with a pillow. And yes, like I said, they are all uncomfortable. My hips kill me on my sides, and I get this really strange sharp pain right below my breast bone, at the top of my uterus after laying on my sides. When I go into the sitting position, it puts a ton of pressure on my bladder and I can't get as deep of breaths, even though I am no where near laying flat. 

    Sleeping ssssuuuucccckkkkksssss so bad and it's only continuing to get worse. Hopefully I go into labor very soon so I won't be so flippin' uncomfortable at night (when the baby allows me to close my eyes for a few moments haha)

    I have been doing this for the last 2 weeks. I use 4 pillows to sit/lay in an incline position when going to bed. It has been working, most nights.

    Me. I get horrible rib pain when I lay down for very long. I last at most 2 hours in bed and then move to the couch and spend the rest of the night. I stack 4 pillows next to me on the couch and lean sideways and sleep. It sucks because I still have to change sides every hour or so and have to move the pillow mountain from side to side.

    Yep...pretty much. My hips were hurting laying on my sides and the body pillow was not working between my knees. So I just folded it in half and sleep kinda half on my side (like they say to lay the new baby lol)...sigh

    I have been in a recliner for the past month. It sucks, but it's the only way I can get any solid amount of sleep.

    I've been in a recliner almost 2 months now (We had to go out and buy one) because it hurt so bad to sleep in bed. My hips hurt so bad. I can't even lay on my side for a half hour now if I tried (I'm 28 weeks along so still have a ways to go). The recliner is definitely helping and worth the investment. We've decided we're going to put it in the baby's room once she arrives. It's a rocker recliner. I advise on getting one if you can. GL!
