Sleep positions??

Question

So I’m now 35 weeks and my hips ache like crazy and my inner thighs ache as well. I sleep with a pregnancy pillow every night. I’m just wondering if there’s different positions I could sleep in being that I have 5 weeks left? Like can I start laying on my back again? 😭

Answer

Sure you can once baby is here :) the struggle is real, but I wouldn't risk it personally. Everyone is different though!

Answer

My doctor had  told me I was allowed to sleep however I was comfortable, that my body would let me know when it had enough of one position or another.
That being said, I found yesterday that taking a boppy pillow and using it as a nest for my belly allowed me to lay on my belly for a bit. I was kinda in a frog position with my legs. It felt super good!
My doula also suggested that I prop my upper body up a bit with extra pillows if possibly. Said it will change the pressure on the hips for a bit.
(for reference, my due date is tomorrow. I feel that hip pain!)
Good luck to you!

Answer

A lot of my apps (including the official NHS bounty app) advise not to sleep or nap on your back at all during the third trimester. Something to do with your main blood supply getting squashed by baby which can decrease their blood supply and something about being linked to stillbirth. 
I try not to read too much into things but my app advised not too x
