What position do you sleep in?

danichyl · July 2014

Are you trying to sleep on your left? Do you feel more comfortable on your belly or on your right?

Frugal11 · July 2014

I am a side sleeper - so right or left....can't sleep on belly or back!

Jay_Cee · July 2014

I'm a side sleeper. It currently doesn't matter how you sleep. They say to sleep on your left when you are big and pregnant to keep your blood flowing well to vital organs. I slept on my stomach until 15 weeks last time!

cutiepie0104 · July 2014

I sleep on my sides, with waking up every 3 hours to pee I just flip around every time I come back to bed. lol

triplej9 · July 2014

I naturally sleep on my left side (sometimes right). So I will just continue doing that!

stellasoo · July 2014

I am a belly sleeper but it must be putting too much pressure on my uterus because I wake up really uncomfortable. I've been trying to fall asleep on my left side but I always wake up on my stomach.

I think I'm gonna pick up a Snoogle body pillow today and see if that helps.

magsame · July 2014

I alternate sides. I use to sleep on my back but kept having back pain and I read if you sleep on your side it will help. Haven't had back pain the last 2 nights!

kefttsc · July 2014

I'm normally a back or stomach sleeper, but have been trying to train myself to sleep on my sides (left mostly). I'm doing a decent job and getting more comfortable. I've noticed just the last few nights that sleeping on my stomach directly isn't all that comfy (I'm 8w4d).

Oem617 · July 2014

I fall alseep on my left side, but rotate all night. Sometimes I wake up on my back. Your body will tell you when not to lay on your back anymore. It will become to much presure to handle.

ambmama · July 2014

I sleep on my sides wrapped around a body pillow. I got it when I was pregnant with DS and can't sleep without it now. SO comfortable.

modernfairytale8709 · July 2014

I'm a belly sleeper. But I can sleep on either side if I'm forced too. Sleeping is starting to get uncomfortable, and I have a feeling that a body pillow purchase is in my immediate future.

mkrk227 · July 2014

I'm a side sleeper mostly and always with a body pillow!

munchkin8590 · July 2014

Side sleeper with a pillow between my knees

Frugal11 · July 2014

Speaking of Body Pillows --- How do your husbands react to that? If I was in his position, I would feel so left out if he was cuddling with a pillow and not me?? Is it too early for the pillow? I am 7w4d...

maltwin1 · July 2014

I naturally sleep on my side. Last pregnancy I kept waking up in the middle of the night on my back...no idea why because I NEVER sleep on my back. Maybe this time I'll get one of those body pillows.

Paleomama · July 2014

Side right or left with body pillow

michelle142 · July 2014

I sleep however I'm comfortable, no preference

Mom2DrG · July 2014

I'm all over the place lately. I normally sleep on my right side.

Well we are not cuddlers, but DH just deals. I'm making a life inside me and I want to be comfortable. With both of us, the pillow and the dog in the bed, it's tight. But we both manage. I think last time I started using the pillow around 20 weeks. I don't have it anymore (I borrowed it last time) and am thinking about getting another one. It was a life saver, but it's not cheap.

Honestly I don't think H will care at all as long as it doesn't end up on top of him or something. We both get too hot snuggling for any extended period of time...especially when I'm pregnant and burning up anyway!

chrissyadore · July 2014

When I can actually sleep now it's almost always on my belly. I know it's going to be hard to break once my belly gets bigger, but hopefully by then I won't feel so sick when laying down.

Frugal11 · July 2014

Thanks all!! I think I'll hold off without the pillow for as long as I can....PS: I saw it last night at Destination Maternity (they've got BOGO thing going + bonus bucks) so if you can find a friend....

ambmama · July 2014

@frugal11 We do cuddle, but we tend to spoon more than anything so I can still hug the pillow. If we cuddle where I am curled into him, I just leave the body pillow on my other side so I can grab it when I need to move. DH is like a big body pillow (I hug him the same way, haha).

Missmel918 · July 2014

I'm normally a side sleeper anyway (right) but I've been all over the place recently. As for body pillows - my SO and I will start the night cuddling but after about an hour it's just way too hot for either of us and we both turn outwards. I don't think he's going to mind if I have a body pillow on the side that he isn't. Just personal preference to each individual. I saw a body pillow on pinterest that looks like heaven though.

Am I the only one who isn't into cuddling with DH? We are so non-touchy when it comes to sleep. There are nights where I can't get comfortable and him and the dog snore so loud that I go into the spare bedroom to sleep. He doesn't care now that he realizes I'm much more pleasant when I get a good nights sleep.

jaymo517 · July 2014

I'm normally a stomach or back sleeper so this side stuff is a pain for me, but I'm trying! I bought a Snoogle over the weekend and I can honestly say it's made a world of difference. Definitely worth the investment. I'm 9 weeks btw.

Allie429 · July 2014

I definitely got used to sleeping on the left with my daughter but I am a normal side/back sleeper. I sleep with a pillow bw my legs now. I had a friend who let me borrow a preggo pillow which I used and added a wedge pillow with it towards the end. That helped push my belly up better which helped me sleep longer. The worst now is just already having to get up to use the bathroom or waking from a weird dream (which I had last night.). My husband and I are cuddlers (when he is home) so I have nights when it is just me so I enjoy spooning - although towards the end it ends up being "don't get up on me but here's a leg you can touch"-haha

PollyPositive · July 2014

TUMMY sleeper all the way! I don't know what I'm going to do once my belly gets too big.

OmSweetOm · July 2014

Belly til I can't belly no mo'

StephanieLBerg · July 2014

Im a stomach sleeper as well. Though, I know that a body pillow is in my immediate future also. I can sleep on my sides if forced, but it gives me migraines sometimes.

SallyAnneS · July 2014

I am a stomach or side sleeper. With Ds i slept on my stomach till about 23 week.

Irishcurls · July 2014

Back sleeper all the way.

MissEm15 · July 2014

Back sleeper.. but I think I wake up on my stomach/side. I'm trying to fall asleep on my side, but so far not happening.

Neary2011 · July 2014

Left side half tummy, pull my leg up and sleep like that, that way I am still comfortable but not putting to much pressure on anything.

amt0312 · July 2014

Sleeping on my stomach. I will do this until its physically not possible. And as for sleeping on my left. no more than I will sleep on my right. As you get later in your pregnancy, your hips might hurt like mad and switching sides will probably be necessary.

mandamoochie · July 2014

I was a stomach sleeper until my last pregnancy. Trust me, dont worry about training yourselves to side sleep now because eventually its SO uncomfortable you wouldn't think of sleeping on your belly. You might as well enjoy the little bit of time you have left sleeping on your tummy.

Ducktale · July 2014

I was a stomach sleeper, until my stomach is all sensitive now. So side now, I guess.

MaddScientist · July 2014

I must be weird - I'm an indiscriminate sleeper - sleep on my back, belly, and both sides, I constantly move around at night and usually hit at least 3 positions each night. I sleep with my arms under my pillow, so when my pillow gets flat, my arms fall asleep/hurt - so that usually causes me to change positions.
