When sleep became a problem how did you go about it?

Question

Answer

So far I’m just been kinda living with it. I’ll switch sides a million times, make my husband switch sides because I cannot stand for him to breathe on me now, I’ll get up and pee, get some water, prop a pillow behind my back, chuck the pillow because I have to swap sides again, depending on what time it is I’ll take a heartburn chew because there’s usually some heartburn going on, but if it’s within 4 hours of 9am I can’t take one because I have hypothyroidism and it doesn’t mesh well with my medicine, and then finally I just lay kinda on my back but not all the way and feel my baby move until I fall back asleep. I have a pregnancy pillow but I have to swap sides so often it just gets in the way anymore. I haven’t tried sleeping pills or going to the couch. But later in the day i take a nap on the couch and sleep fine.

Answer

naps!! I take two 2-hour (ish) naps a day but I'm also on bed rest so there's not much else to do. 
I have a firm flat pillow that I put between my legs at night. It has to be at the same angle as my legs and go down to my ankles to do any good and only helps for a couple hours as far as sleeping goes but does help immensely with pelvic pain in the morning. When I get sick of it, I pop it behind me to try to keep off my back. pregnancy pillows are great for cuddling when I'm awake but they just get in the way when it's actually time for sleep. I won't even take sleeping pills when I'm not pregnant so that's never even been a consideration. Tums only kind of helps with heartburn but sometimes some warm milk with a tsp of honey helps. Regardless I'm up often to pee or because of baby movement or contracrions so it doesn't really matter lol

Answer

None of these. I drink a small glass of tart cherry juice before bed, and keep my water drinking to before 6pm so I don't wake up having to pee all the time.

Answer

I slept on the couch lol

Answer

I have tried pillows, I have tried pills, we even got a new mattress (because we desperately needed a new one) 
but on those nights I'm in tears, to the sofa! it weirdly works wonders.

Answer

I moved to the guestroom with my 8 billion pillows. Also, my doctor recommended I see a chiropractor and that's been helping the most.
