Sleep ergonomics tip

klbh · July 2015

I spoke to a prenatal massage therapist this weekend who gave me an interesting sleeping tip: as my belly grows, I should roll under in bed (almost as if doing a push-up) rather than over (via the back). She said that would provide more support for the lower back and prevent the "turtle trapped on it's back" predicament. Maybe many of you have already gotten this advice elsewhere, but it was new to me, so I figured I'd pass it on!

I'm going to try that - I'm only 12+ weeks but turning over via my back doesn't happen as smoothly as it used to. I feel like I have to prop myself up on my hands and do a mid-air hip twist.

Bumping this, because I've already experienced a slight case of turtle.

I've never even thought of this but will try it seeing as my hip is already killing me to turn over in bed.

I was just telling my husband that I need something attached to the bed to help me get up. It's already a struggle!!

This is how I roll over pre-baby and it really is best! I had sciatica after an injury and this was recommended- fantastic to keep your back in line. Plus you get that 1 second plank pose in there = exercise...

Hm great idea. I've got sciatica pain and I'm sure in a few months with a growing baby it will be an even more helpful tip. Thanks for sharing
