yeah Katy thats the only way i find comfortable.. u have ur top leg balancing on the mattress to take your weight so you are kinda on your stumach.. im like this for the majority of my sleep time but when i wake my hips reeeeeeeeally hurt lol! xxxxx

oh and Katy you made me giggle in the other thread about baby wriggling away, ours does exactly the same.. its like yay!! then off it scuttles lol! xxx

My hips have been hurting but I hadn't thought it might be down to how i'm sleeping I'll never get any sleep if i try and sleep differently though xx

I've always slept with a body pillow, between my legs and under one of my arms, it can be quite comfy for me to sleep like that, but positioning it around my bump now is getting difficult. I have to get it just right under it or it feels funny. Then I have to get up and go pee. Then I have to get situated, then last night Kellan decided to ram his hand into my cervix, so I got up and moved a bit so he would move. Basically getting to sleep is a production. Then I fall asleep and have to go pee again. I really need some sleep, but its just so difficult!

I've not had a decent nights sleep for about 5 weeks now

I've got a pregnancy pillow which does help but I can only sleep in a position for about 2 hours before everything starts getting sore ie/ the hip that i'm lying on. I then seem to wake up on my back (which I know isn't good), then switch sides so then the other hip gets sore. I eventually make a nest so that i'm pretty much sleeping sitting up and look like a zombie!!!!!

Least the OH is sympathetic as I'm sure I keep him awake tossing and turning all night.

I do have a memory foam mattress too which does help (as am just back from visiting friends and they had very soft mattresses which made the aches and pains worse)

I've been suffering with round ligament pain and backache, which ease up at night, but then my hips start aching instead. So my mum took pity on me (or got sick of me moaning!) and bought me a Dream Genii support pillow, which arrived yesterday!

So my report after the first night of use is that it was very comfortable and stopped me rolling on to my back, and it supported my bump. Also I like the bit But, like PieMistress, I did feel a bit sore on one side when I woke up because the pillow basically means that you stay in one position. It can be used both ways, i.e. to lie on your left or right side, but if you do want to shift, then you have to turn the pillow over as well.

I have read reports that it's not so good for tall women as the bit that goes between your legs is not very long - but I don't have that problem as I'm only 5'2.

If it gives you any hope, I slept really badly from about 12 - 22 weeks, but since then I seem to have slept a lot better for some reason. But I think the pillow will help with support and easing some of the aches and pains.

thanks girls... seems im not the only one getting not much good sleep yeah im the same, about 2 hours on one side and my hip is really sore. Definately think i will invest in a pregnancy pillow. Can i ask.. some of u say its bad sleeping on ur back.. is this right? if so why? cause thats where i tend to fall to try and get some sleep xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I just wanna sleep on my back soooooooo bad. It's the only way that doesn't hurt my back

It is supposed to restrict the blood/ oxygen flow to baby Supposed to sleep on your left side because it is the recovery position but it HURTS

ooo i didnt know that!! shit i normally lay on my back to get comfortable this is pants lol im now down to 2 positions rather than 4 haha! any restriction as to sleeping on ur right side?? haha dam!!! xxx
