I find it most comfortable on my side with a pillow under bump or between legs i used to sleep on my back so finding it hard not to do that !
It does seem to take ages to get comfortable and its horrid when you wake up in the night mainly for a wee ! and cant get back in that same comfy position
I just try to catch a little nap whenever possible really buts its hard with other children around .
Hope you get some sleep soon
But I've started needing the loo a few times a night again and keep waking up at about 5.30am despite being shattered and not being able to get back to sleep!

I've tried lots of different things - one of the best was two big pillows either side of me (one to put between legs and one to stop me rolling back (but only worked as we were on holiday and had HUGE bed!) So when we got home, DH treated me to a pregnancy pillow (oh the romance!)
My one is called a Snoogle and it's like a big 'S' shape. You use the top end as a pillow, then it goes behind your back to stop you rolling over, and you put the other curled end between your legs. It's AMAZING! (DH keeps stealing it for weekend naps!) I do still wake up at about 6am and feel the need to stretch out, but that's much better than waking up throughout the night.
I don't know if you can get the Snoogle in the UK, but there are loads of pregnancy pillows that are similar.
Thanks Ladies, Hope you all get some sleep soon too.
I keep waking up and then spend hours trying to get back to sleep, then the alarm goes off! i have insomnia so bad!
Uncomfortable now though- go to roll onto my stomach and it hurts, lie on my back and it's not comfortable. Not happy- was hoping to make the most of sleep now while I still can! I miss it lots! X x
Although i think we have discovered a new reason why i may not be sleeping properly too, seems what i thought was sciatica might be Pelvic Girdle Pain, so need to speak to midwife and see if there is any chance of a physio checking it out, fingers crossed, referrals are like gold dust here.
