I'm Currently Feeling:  | Well the inevitable happened..
It took me four hours, yes four, to get to sleep last night.
Back ache, pelvis pain, the bottom of my legs kept cramping.
I thought my body was having some sort of joke with me.
I spoke to my mum about it this morning and she said it's only going to get worse.
Finally joining the ever-so-wonderful sleep deprivation club!
So, I had to switch sides about 300 times before I got so tired I fell asleep through it.
Any ideas? Do I need one of those sleep pillows now?  Great! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Welcome to the club lol!
I havnt bought a pregnancy pillow cos i think the time will fly and i will soon have bubs in my arms so i will try and get through it! Try and use a cushion or normal pillow between your legs. But if you really wanted to purchuse a pregnancy pillow thing do it! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hello! The pillow between the legs thing doesn't work for me because I'm tossing and turning so much that it just gets annoying making sure I've still got the pillow between my knees!
DH was happy when I gave up and came downstairs - I was keeping him awake too! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah I gave up on the pillow between the legs thing last night too..
Oh well, I guess the pain is worth it in the end!
Didn't expect it to be this uncomfy so soon though  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have a pillow, but I can't find a comfortable position with it... The best for me is a pillow under bump and one between my legs and OH (when he's there) spooning me or a pillow in the back.
I haven't had a great night sleep in weeks now though!
Hope you sleep better  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have a long body pillow on one side, and a king size pillow I use on the other. Being long, I can support the bump and have the pillow between my legs. My poor kitty is so not happy about not being able to cuddle up to me now. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | The cramps in the night are awful - I keep waking up shouting and my boyfriend has to pull my feet back to get rid of the cramps coz I can't reach
Ive found if you prop your head up on a few pillows I sleep loads better. Ive got a blocked nose too, and it helps with that
