I can't help it its the only way I can get any rest at all. i'm only ten weeks and not showing much but sleep is hard. Plus i have to be up at 7 with my other half too

Then I wake up having to pee (thanks little guy) and it takes forever to get repositioned. I finally bought a C-shaped body pillow (called a Snoogle) and that's helped a ton. It supports my belly, head and legs and curls around to support my lower back and my shoulders. And if you curl it into a circle, leaving a hole for your belly, you can actually lay on your stomach! And the ends overlap leaving a slight gap for the big boobs!! Perfect position for a backrub.... But I think the whole lack of sleep is just a way for your body to get used to the multiple night feedings and general lack of sleep after baby makes his grand entrance. But people keep telling me it's all worth it..... :)

yannur Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 10/3/2009 - 11:30AM Report Abuse	my body aches everywhere. it hurts whenever i try to toss and turn. everytime i change sides, i would either whine with pain or cry out loud for some attention. mom said it's normal to feel this way. are we supposed to endure this till we give birth?

soon2bemommy2009 Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 9/16/2009 - 1:21PM Report Abuse	I cant sleep at all! i did find comfort in laying on my side with pillows but now im just irritated at night because i cant find a good position to sleep in! It also doesnt help that the little boy is becoming a night owl and is up kicking me all night!

hazzardbabe105 Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 7/6/2009 - 5:33PM Report Abuse	I'm barely getting any sleep,and my poor little dog is getting annoyed with my constant moving. Last night I had leg pains so bad I wanted to cry, and a bad case of sunburn to top it all off!
March7thMom Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 6/22/2009 - 9:28PM Report Abuse	My husband and I got so sick of all the extra pillows, so I rented a cushion from mommytummytime.com. It was way better than the pillows because i could lay on my side and stomach, without taking up 3/4 of the bed- plus I could ship it back when i was done. Loved it!!
MrsBN Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 6/17/2009 - 10:47AM Report Abuse	To answer Noverhu, yes I have been dreaming a great deal more also. Maybe some hormone in pregnancy triggers this. But that is okay I think because dreaming indicates REM which is the deep part of sleep if I am correct. Also to Serenityfe, just some friendly advice, do not sleep on you back, my nurese practioner and the hospital OB/GYn tech told me that sleeping on your back shuts off the oxygen to you and you baby at night, it's not a good thing to do. I sometimes forget about my back and lay on it and my husband will come and turn me on my side. If you have someone in the house with you ask them to help you keep this straight so that you don't make that mistake. Good luck to all of us!!

wendydaria Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/22/2009 - 4:12PM Report Abuse	Oh my god, buy the Dreamweaver body pillow. ($60 and free ship and diapers.com) It's rocking my world- and I don't have much of a bump yet...just G cup missiles!!!
trich4ever Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/22/2009 - 4:08PM Report Abuse	I can't fall asleep and when I do between bathroom breaks and needing to turn I can't stay asleep. every other might I will fall asleep because i will be so tired.That works.With 8 weeks to go I am just trying to get by.
noverhu Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/19/2009 - 2:43AM Report Abuse	Just entered third trimester! I dont know what we'd do without a king size bed..Im up to two body pillows, 3 regular pillows and still end up rolling around all night..and is dreaming apart of being pregnant?!
legendscowgirl Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/14/2009 - 3:40PM Report Abuse	The pain is always worse for me at night. For some reason mostly at night i get these really bad crampy feelings or like muscle pulling feeling in my lower tummy. My doctor says its normal but dang it hurts. Its so painful to sit up or roll over at night and im only 28 weeks!!
emmas_mummy Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/14/2009 - 6:48AM Report Abuse	is there such a thing as a comfortable sleep in pregnancy? i cant wait to be able to sleep on my tummy or back again... or to be able to roll over without waking up with cramp to do a dreaded 64 point manouvre just to lie on my other side!!
babegurl823 Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/13/2009 - 12:13PM Report Abuse	My back hurts me soo much i cant even take the pain sumtimes im 28 weeks and my munchkin is on my sciatica nerve and girls its goes down my leg and kills me when i either get from sitting or sleeping i can barley roll over to my other side in bed cuz of the pain and suggestions
YellowBell Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/13/2009 - 6:28AM Report Abuse	I have one of those realy soft beanie travel pillows that I sleep tucked into my tummy I fine this helps because its soft on my skin and moulds into your shape. Im moving around alot and waking up early but the sleep I do get is enough, or i'll just go for a nap in the afternoon lol.
itoshii_na_koi Send a Note Send a Gift Write on ME page 4/13/2009 - 6:19AM Report Abuse	Im 36 weeks, the baby has dropped and now Im not getting heartburn but I still cant sleep for more than a few hours at a time. Everything Ive been reading says its normal. Get too hot then get cold then notice your partner is snoring and in the middle of the bed so you feel like your beach ball belly will tip you off the side. I have to change positions from sitting up to laying on my side to get at least 4-6 hours during the night. As far as the heartburn I would start out the night with pillows propped behind my back & head to sleep in a sit up position...or if you are lucky enough to have a reclining chair that will work too. You may only get a few hours extra sleep but sometimes that makes all the difference between being able to function during the day & being a crying mess.
