pillows?


Ive just been trying to look up some suggestions for trouble sleeping at night. One was to sleep with a pillow bettween your legs? Its this just a comfort thing or will it actually help fight off the urge to pee? lol... im desperate to try anything.

Im doing the warm milk tonight.

I´m still fighting the urge to pee and i´m 20 weeks gone! I think the pillow between your legs is to ease strain on your hips when you lie on your side. Might be wrong tho!!!

I've been sleeping with a pillow tucked by my side, I find it helps tho I still seem to keep waking up ridiculously early despite the fact I'm exhausted! Hope the warm milk worked for you ryder!

I had no idea that this works in the early stages.I read that in your later months the pillow between legs is helpful...

I don't think it helps with how often you pee,it's just more comfortable...

Well, I dont know which one worked, but the pillow was comfy and the milk was nice lol... And I still woke up but I was able to go right back to sleep after I went to the washroom.

Yaaay!

I started sleeping w/a pillow between my knees already. It really helps later on as your pelvis starts to spread and stretch (ouch!), but it helps me stay on my side right now. I am seriously thinking about buying a wedge pillow this time around so it will be easier to roll over the the other side.

I'm quite lucky and only have to get up once to pee. Sometimes not at all but I end up in a lot of pain in my hips and with leg cramps while I'm sleeping. I haven't found pillows anywhere make much difference to me and just annoy me when I turn over (which I have to do a lot).

Having one of my legs raised up much higher though does seem to really help with the pain. It has to be level or higher than my hips though so I tend to put my leg over OH while I'm sleeping. He doesn't like it though and always pushes me off. How inconsiderate!
