May Mamas, how are you sleeping?

Question

What’s your favorite sleep position? Are you staying on your left side? Are you still on your stomach or back at this point? Any tips, tricks or venting? 😴🙂

Answer

Following. As I respond to this at 4am, wide awake since 2am. Planning to just get out of the bed in an hour to work out. Insomnia is so horrible. I’m not uncomfortable, no heartburn, not even getting up to pee, just literally WIDE AWAKE 😭.

Answer

Getting any sleep would be nice I’m tossing and turning all night sleeping for 30 minutes at a time if at all.

Answer

No more stomach for me. I start out on my left side, toss side to side, and occasionally end up on my back when my sides aren’t comfortable anymore

Answer

I toss and turn from side to side. I occasionally prop myself up a bit so I can lay on my back. Even my pregnancy pillow isn't helping much these days.

Answer

Im 24 weeks and the only pain-free position is on my back, any other position im in HURTS after laying for 10 min so i cant fall asleep, so annoying that the back happens to be the worst position to be in. Im workin on it, went to a chiropractor it's getting better but still 😩

Answer

I was feeling pretty good.
No pain or anything until yesterday 26 weeks. Omg so much back pain and Braxton Hicks has started. Up every hour. Finally 4am couldn’t go back to sleep.
Been switching from back to left side.

Answer

I mainly sleep on my left side but have to switch sides every so often because the hip I’m laying on will start to ache. I sometimes wake up on my back though and get really angry at myself 😂. I’m 26 weeks and have recently started waking up in the night dripping with sweat! Which along with the leaking nipples is just what I needed 😅. I also have a U shape pregnancy pillow which has been a god send for my knees!! And maybe it’s just me but I always find having a big glass of milk before bed helps me sleep longer, otherwise I always wake up starving in the night

Answer

Side sleeper. 
Using a lumbar pillow n a pregnancy pillow. 
Up just thinking a bunch. 
Occasional belly sleep with a mountain of pillows. 
Sometimes I sleep all day and nothing at night.

Answer

Struggling more than any of of my other pregnancies 😩 I was sleeping on my belly until recently after I had terrible stomach pains all day so it scared me so I bought a wedge pillow and that has actually seemed to help me quite a bit because I normally am not a side sleeper. So if I have any tips I would say try a wedge pillow! Not the cure all but has been the only thing to help me.

Answer

I start off on my left but after awhile that starts to hurt my arms so I switch to right. Which normally was the side I spent the whole night on but ever since about 20 weeks into my pregnancy I can’t lay on my right side for too long without my hip and lower back cramping up and hurting like hell. I know it’s not the best sleep position for pregnancy but on my back is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve tried a pregnancy pillow but it didn’t work for me. I just do what feels right and trust my body to alert me if anything goes wrong.
