getting dead legs and arms during the night!
I have trouble sleeping, I am getting 3-4 hrs tops most nights now and its just silly. I am shattered! I just can't sleep.
But my new delight is the fact that my pregnancy pillow I bought to shove between my legs to aid my sleep actually gives me dead legs after an hour or so. I wake up in pain and have to move about. This isnt what I thought would happen.
So now I just use a normal pillow which isnt the same.
Is it usual for the leg to be heavy and press on the other leg during the night?? Will all pregnancy pillows do this?

I have my pregnancy H&S assessment this afternoon so I reckon I can play on all kinds of symptoms now!
I don't know how to stop it - I can't get on with pillows either cos they make it worse - I've just resigned myself to not getting enough sleep ever again.
I too have sciatica and its causing me jip at night. My yoga helps but I cant do it in the middle of the night!
Baby waking up doesnt help as her nightime movements make me feel motion sick
I too moonandstars have resigned myself to no sleep for 18 years. Bummer!!
Oh dear...it'll all be worth it though and it's not forever xx
You can sleep on your back as long as you are not flat.
If you prop yourself up at an angle on a pillow it is ok. My midwife told me this.
I think it is all part and parcel of pregnancy sadly.
