is this goodbye to sleep?!?!
Hi everyone! I had a terrrible nights sleep last night and the past few nights have been leading up to it...is it all downhill from now as far as the sleep departments goes? I am 22+4. I can't sleep on my front, I am not supposed to sleep on my back (although I did for a few weeks and it was great - but now it is not comfy!) I should sleep on my left side but it hurts my shoulder and when I turn over from my left side to my right side I have to slide onto my back first and then ease over to my right which takes ages and it is like a military operation so I don't hurt myself! when I eventually get on to my right side it is not comfortable but I manage to get to sleep - only to wake up on my back and feeling my tummy giving me strange sensations or the baby is moving!!!! maybe I should sleep in a tank with zero gravity then I could float about or be semi-standing on my head or anywhere else and get a good nights sleep without fear of hurting myself or baby....! sorry for rant but I am sleep deprived!!! this happen to anyone else?!?!?! X

I am 35 weeks pregnant and lucky if I get 2 hours of unbroken sleep during the night, what with SPD and toilet trips...
(
MY SPD only arrived with a vengance 2 weeks ago and before pregnancy I'd never heard of it. My bones have started cracking when I turn over on bed, which is lovely. Poor hubby is copping for a load of stick, would feel sorry for him if I wasn't in so much pain.
Barnsey, we bought a new bed in Jan with a memory foam matress and it is a god send! Really supports my bump.
I have a body pillow which I love. The Doctor told me you can sleep on your back as long as your head and upper body is elevated. I sleep on my side most of the night but get pains in my hip and leg so then resort to my back and have my head elevated which helps. Sleep as I remeber it has long gone and I am only 17 weeks !!!! I tend to grab a nap whenever I can to catch up.
Good luck
Hugs

take care ladies x
Not managed it so far so grabbed my laptop!
im into my 32nd week and must admit it is getting harder and harder to have any sort of good sleep. Im seriously struggling with going to work full time now so looking forward to leaving.
This may souns stupid but why is it bad to sleep on your back when pregnant?
