My back and acidity both trouble me when i lie flat, so i feel like sleeping a bit propped up with pillows. Im 7 months now. Is sleeping inclined ok or not?
Yes, sleeping inclined is actually quite helpful, especially if you get acid reflux. Since my PCOS made me overthink every single step, I always double-checked my sleeping positions. Just make sure you are comfortable and use good pillows to support your back without straining.
Oh god, at 34 weeks, sleeping flat is a distant dream anyway! I currently sleep propped up like a monument with five pillows because of terrible heartburn and baby kicking my ribs. Go ahead and sleep inclined, whatever keeps you alive and sleeping for an hour is a win!
Yes, you can. When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to arrange 3-4 soft pillows behind my back so I could sleep comfortably at an angle. It really helped with my breathing and digestion, so definitely try it.
Sleeping inclined is completely fine and helps a lot with acidity. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to eat early dinners and walk, but sleeping inclined still saved me from late-night reflux. Just ensure you aren't eating heavy carbs right before sleeping too.
Yes, you definitely can. After my C-section, sleeping inclined was the only way I could get in and out of bed without pulling my stitches. Using a wedge pillow or propping up some regular pillows helps immensely both during late pregnancy and early recovery.
Of course you can sleep inclined, who told you otherwise? If it helps your acidity and back pain, go for it. Just don't sleep flat on your back after the second trimester, sleeping on your left side with an incline is the best way.
I just delivered my baby last month and honestly, sleeping inclined with a pregnancy wedge pillow was a lifesaver in my third trimester. It reduced my breathlessness and heartburn so much. Try it out, it really makes a huge difference in your sleep quality!
