afraid...

Good morning ladies. I need a little bit of advice. So every night I've tried to just sleep in my right side or left. But now my right side hurts. I wake up an find myself laying on my stomach. Am I harming my baby?? I'm on 9 weeks an 3 days. I'm really scared that I am.

    Your not harming your baby. You can't squish it lol. They recommend trying to train yourself to be a side sleeper because you'll have no other choice once your baby belly grows in

    There will be a point where stomach sleeping isn't advised, but that'll be later. Start using pillows though to position yourself though if you're worried.

    I started sleeping on my side with a body pillow around 6 weeks just to get myself used to it ... the body pillow is amazing and super comfortable. Right now the baby is still down in your pelvis and won't move up more toward your belly until at least 12 weeks.

    This probably will sound like a REALLy silly question.. but how exactly do those body pillows work? How do you position yourself with them when you try to sleep? *sheepish look*

    Mine goes between my legs when I sleep with it. Hug it like it's your man! Haha! My SO won't let me put my leg over his so when my hips hurt I grab the pillow and snuggle up with him snuggled behind me. Lucky for me I have this issue with sleeping on the side of the bed closest to the door(weird security thing) so I'm already used to sleeping on my left or on my tummy.

    No I don't think you can harm your baby like that.

    Yeah, I basically lay on my side with one arm underneath the pillow and one arm over, hugging it, with the pillow in between my legs with one leg under and one over ... the body pillow basically helps align your spine and make you more comfortable when lying on your side.
