Sleeping on back?

Question

I have sciatica in my right hip and it’s impossible to sleep on either side it’s just so painful. The only position I can sleep in is on my back but I know that’s not advised. Anyone managed to relieve the pain?

Answer

how about one of those big ‘U shape’ pillows ? You’ll still have to lay on your side but you can put all the weight/pressure on to the pillow.

Answer

When side sleeping try and get one of those pillows to go between your knees or a pregnancy pillow! I had bad sciatica with all of my pregnancies and bad hips, my left twists up so it sits higher than my right and it causes a lot of pain, my chiropractor recommended always having a pillow between your knees because it helps align your hips which will help with sciatica. Also I would recommend seeing a chiropractor until birth! It made a huge difference with my sciatic pain, my hips were majorly messed up after my son, so my last pregnancy and this one I go throughout even after birth. It helped so much.

Answer

I have sciatica, herniated discs in L5 and S1, 3 herniated disc in my neck and even fractured my tailbone during the birth of my last child. I purchased a c shaped pregnancy pillow off of Amazon and received it a few days ago. It is AMAZING I can't believe I never had this pillow before!! I do not have that constant hip pain when I lay on my side as I did with the other pillows. It even helped with my neck as well!

Answer

You can sleep on your back as long as you’re propped up to allow continuous circulation and blood flow 😊

Answer

I’ve had to use pillows to prop myself up at an incline to sleep on my back. Sort of like a recliner. I cannot sleep on my sides all night due to hip pain even with a pregnancy pillow, so this is what I’ve resorted to at 29 weeks.
