Tips for side sleeping?

Question

I'm a hearty back sleeper trying to migrate to side sleeping (dr recommended by 20 weeks). I start on my side but inevitably end on my back by morning. Anyone else? Happy Friday 😀

Answer

My snoogle is my saviour!

Answer

I'm a back sleeper too and I've been training with the snoogle for over a month now. I still wake up on my back, but with the snoogle my butt is still slightly tilted. 
I don't know about you, but I still make two bathroom trips a night, so when I crawl back into bed I make sure I start on my side. 
It might take practice, but as long as you aren't sleeping on your back the entire night, you and your baby should be fine. 
Good luck!

Answer

Oh the snoogle! I can use it around my back and in the middle of the night when I try to move to my back it keeps me from going flat so I get to sort of feel like I'm on my back without laying on the vena cava. Total win.

Answer

Just for what it's worth- I asked my doctor about sleeping positions again yesterday as I'm a very rolly sleeper ;) I'm 17w 4days and she told me that as long as I'm sleeping and comfortable whatever position that's in is okay! If you sleep with your head elevated on 2 pillows then you aren't flat on your back anyway :)

Gave me some relief to hear from the doc that waking up on my tummy wasn't hurting anyone!

Answer

Snoogle pillow!

Answer

I lean up against my so, stick a pillow under my butt or have a body pillow behind me. I still end up on my back occasionally but usually more tilted one way or the other instead of flat. I also have a large dog who insists on curling up behind my knees and he helps until I need to stretch and can't move lol

Answer

I keep waking up on my back too! Been wondering if the snoogle is worth it? Or is a cheaper body pillow just as good?

Answer

Look up Fowler's position. So super comfy and makes it fun to sprawl out ✨✨

Answer

I got a body pillow and it helps immensely (I'm also a huge back sleeper). I put one part of it between my legs and the other wedged up right against my back. If I roll onto my back I'm more on a slant so it's still kind of on the side

Answer

I got a special pillow for my head. It is meant for side sleeping and supports my neck. It has relieved neck and shoulder pain from sleeping on my side. I also sleep with a pillow between my knees this protects my lower back and hips.
