I never post on these but I'm in a desperate place right now (read: not getting sleep). I was a stomach sleeper my entire life and recently started to get enough of a bump that this is uncomfortable. I've tried sleeping on my side, as per every pregnancy guide, but my hip bone juts out enough that every few hours I wake up with a bruised or numb hip and have to switch sides. Doesn't make for a great night's sleep. Anyone else deal with this? Any suggestions?
Re: Need Sleep Help
They also make wedge like pillows to put under your bump for support. I actually just stuffed a pillow under there and it made a world of difference in comfort and also waking up with reduced back pain.
or if you have the moolah you could always invest in one of these:

I was in one for a massage during my first pregnancy...it was actually quite comfortable.
I am on the same boat...I am 23 wks and it's getting worse! I bought a body pillow which is wonderful but I can't seem to sleep...I wish I had the $$$ to buy a new mattress BUT I was told to try those pillow top cushions for your bed they can get expensive so I have been postponing it...Also talk to your doctor about it I was experiencing terrible aches on my hips and butt and I started physical therapy and I found out my pelvic bone was misaligned and after she stretched me and aligned my hips I felt better...looking forward to my next session! Good luck to you just remember NO PAIN NO GAIN that little baby will make it all insignificant.
