Sleep?! What's that?!

Question

My doctor has informed me that it is about that time that I stop sleeping on my back... I find it almost dang near impossible. I continue to find myself waking up on my back. Any advice?!

Answer

I always wake up on my stomach.  I can't figure out how to stop.

Answer

I had that same problem so I bought a pregnancy pillow. Now i have no issues. Highly recommend it!

Answer

How many weeks are you may I ask ?

Answer

I wedge a pillow behind my back and sleep on my side and/or sleep with one between by legs to be more comfortable and not roll. I just don't sleep well on my back.

Answer

No doctor will chide you for waking up on your back - it's out of your control! They just mean don't do it on purpose, and do lay completely flat on the couch. When it's really time is when it feels like crap, then you will know for sure.

Answer

I bought a cheap body pillow from target. I couldn't bare to spend the money on an actual pregnancy pillow. It has work for me so far. I start out draping a leg over it to prevent hip pain. When I need to turn over I leave it there and prop it behind my back so  I can sleep "half" on my back. As long as your propped one direction, your ok. My doctor said a 30 ° prop is enough to relief the pressure off the vena cava.

Answer

I have the pillow and I'm a back sleeper and it hasn't helped. I've been trying to train myself before it is a must!

Answer

I have the same problem. I think I'm going to buy a cheap pregnancy pillow and hope it helps. (One that has a back to it)
