Getting uncomfortable

[hisbloodformysins]

I can tell I'm nearing the 3rd trimester because it's starting to get difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position.

If I lay on my left side, she kicks continuosly, and I have a hard time breathing, if I lay on my right said (usually my preferred) my shoulder hurts and she kicks. If I lay on my back with 2 pillows I still feel short of breath... 3 pillows is too uncomfortable for my neck. Eventually after a lot of tossing and turning I find a comfortable position by it can take a while to find it. Anyone else relate?

not there yet this time but i rember it soo well the last time...

what i done was put a pillow between my legs. it just seamed to ease the presure atlittle. but you wont stop the kicking. when you lie down more blood rushes to the baby and they move lot more.

iv heard spme people actually steep in a chair at the end to dull down the kicking. i never done it but you never know it could work for you.

I found the hiccups worse than the kicking. Seriously everytime i wanted to sleep... hiccups!
Wasn't the nicest thing!!!

I used to sleep with a maternity pillow. Was the best investment of my pregnancy!

I'm past that now- I can't sleep at all. My hips feel like they're on fire. If I end up laying on my back or left side, I wake up gasping for air. I wake up to go to the bathroom around 2 am or so and end up staying awake until about 6, but then have to get up when my 4 kids wake up bright and early. You'd think with only 5 weeks left, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel, but NO, that's when the fun gets started!!!!!! She will definitely stay a night in the nursery so I can at least get one night of sleep. I'm also glad that since she's dropped, she is starting to move a lot less although her movements are a little more painful.

I guess I'm getting there...For some one being 8 months I'm pretty lucky to be able to sleep o.k, it is annoying when I wanna go to sleep and I'm on my side and she starts kicking but good thing it doesn't really keep me up or wake me up.

I'm 30 weeks and uncomfortable most of the time. I also sleep with pillow between knees and under belly seems to work ok but waking 4 times a night to go to the bathroom does not help.

Sleep with a pillow between my legs has never helped me, seems to make my back hurt more...

A pregnancy pillow? Never heard of one... will have to look into that.

Oh geesh, this reminds me of how miserable I was towards the end of my last pregnancy, I was the biggest with my last... I had to sleep straight up and down with 3 pillows to my back, and had a hard time to get to sleep and had to get with the kids early.
