Help! Tips to sleep on your side???

Question

Hi everyone!!! I’m a little over 15 weeks and was told by my doctor that I shouldn’t sleep on my back once I hit 14 weeks. I’m a total back sleeper and have had a hard time adjusting. I got a pregnancy pillow but so far it hasn’t helped. I am constantly waking up on my back. Any tips on how to trick my body into sleeping on my side??? 
Thanks in advance!! ❤️

Answer

I'm a back sleeper too and none of the pillows I've tried work for me 😫😫 i read something about putting a tennis ball under your bottom sheet or sewn into your pjs (bit dramatic) so if you roll onto it you'll either roll back or wake up. At this point i'll try anything 😂

I’m usually a side sleeper but I’ve notice with both pregnancies I like to sleep on my back . So what I do is put a pillow behind my back so I’m wedged up and not flat on my back . Helps me ! I still get comfortable amount of sleep.

Answer

I've seen a pregnancy pillow that has a support for you belly and another support for your back. I wonder if that would help you not roll completely over. I think boppy makes it.

Answer

I'm a total stomach sleeper so I get it. I find you reach a point where it will get uncomfortable to sleep flat on your back or on your stomach. If you get a snoogle or the big U shape pillows you can sleep into them so it makes it harder to turn in your sleep. And those pillows I found firm enough that you still feel comfortable and supported.
I didnt find some of the other types firm enough or big enough to be comfortable
