How do you sleeep ?! Help meee

Question

Im usuallly a stomach sleeper but havent been able to since around 15 weeks because its uncomfortable. Now im 22 weeks and i just started gaining weight and showing a little over the last week. When i try to sleep on my left side,  i get a reallly bad pullling pain on my right side, kinda like the weight of my stomach is stretching and pulling on my side. When i move the pain immediately goes away, but then the same happens if i try to sleep on my right side, ill get pain on my left side. So i sleep on my back and thats usuallly fine but i see everyone saying DONT SLEEP ON YOUR BACK. So what else can i do ? Help pleaseee

Answer

Do you have a pregnancy pillow yet? I wouldn’t be able to sleep without mine. I’m 22w now and have been using one since like 16w I think.

Answer

You can sleep on back. But turn away, if it is uncomfortable. You probably will anyway.
I was a stomack sleeper also now at 29weeks I leave one leg straight abd pend the other one up to my hip, so I kind of am on my stomack but not putting weight on it.
And. Put a pillow between your legs, if on side, that should ease the pulling pain actually.

Answer

Try some kt tape for support. That might be enough to stop the pain when side sleeping. I also support my belly with a wedge.

Answer

I am a stomach sleeper and around the same time for mine it got really uncomfortable. I tried ALL the pillows and hated them all. I finally started sleeping in the sims position. Mostly on my belly but I would prop my front knee up either on my husband if he was laying on his back or on a pillow. I slept like that through the rest of my pregnancy all 41 weeks and my belly was huge!!

Answer

You can sleep on your back. Your body will wake you up before anything happens. Get a pregnancy pillow (I think they are useless and used a blanket..tried 3 different pillows) anyways, use your pillow or blanket and put it under your stomach on the side you are sleeping on. That should give your belly some support and get rid of the pulling you are feeling

Answer

Dude I’m sorry. It just sucks. I was a stomach sleeper too. There’s no good answer. Pregnancy pillows do help and you’ll get more used to sleeping on your side. I used my pregnancy pillow and another pillow too, to support my knees and hips and shoulders and everything. I basically slept in a fortress of pillows. My husband joked that I replaced him with pillows. 
I thought after I gave birth I’d be able to stomach sleep again but I still can’t 😭 breastfeeding makes my boobs too sensitive and laying on my belly hurts my boobs now.

Answer

Pregnancy pillow saved me!
I’m a stomach and back sleeper too and it really helps you stay off of your back.
