Best way to sleep while pregnant??

Question

Hey guys I am just over 14 weeks pregnant! Lately when I lay on my side my stomach feels very uncomfortable and even hurts after a while. I’ve tried putting a pillow between my legs which makes my hips feel better but does not make my stomach feel any better. I’ve never been a stomach sleeper so that’s not an issue. 
Before pregnancy I would sleep on my side or back but now it seems like back is the only option even though I tend to wake up with a headache after sleeping on my back and I know further in pregnancy it’s not great due to blood flow. 
Please let me know how you all sleep or if you have any advice!

Answer

I slept on my back my entire pregnancy. I propped my upper body up on about a 30 degree incline with pillows. When I tried to sleep on my side, I would have the symptoms they say you would feel when sleeping on your back. Even during labor, they tried to put me on my side, but my daughter was not having it and her heart rate would dip. If you are restricting blood flow, believe me you would know it! Sleep in whatever position you’re comfortable in.

I m 33 weeks pregnant and this is my second pregnancy most comfortable position is on the sides buy yourself a J shape pregnancy pillow and a wedge pillow for your belly i m gonna post pictures of both

Answer

I’m 20 weeks now but I started feeling that same thing around 14 weeks! I have found that sleeping with a pillow between my knees and to tuck a pillow under my stomach and kind of hugging it does wonders for my back and stomach area. It just gives the belly a place to rest. And don’t forget to try to sleep on your left side! However, I always fall asleep on my left side but I wake up on my right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I’ve had the same issue my entire pregnancy. I’m 32 weeks now and still sleep on my back. Not completely flat though. I sleep on an incline, basically stacking three or four pillows behind me and using a full body pregnancy u-shaped pillow as well. You could also purchase one of those wedge pillows but I never had the greatest luck with those because the incline was always too much or not enough or it was too long. My doctor said as long as you’re at an incline and wedging pillows around you, you’re fine to be on your back. Do what is comfortable. You would know if something was wrong and your blood flow was constricted.
