How to change sleeping positions during pregnancy?
Im a back and stomach sleeper my whole life and now in my third trimester its getting really uncomfortable. Doc said to sleep on the side but i just cant get used to it. Any tips on how you all managed to switch?
Sleep on your side, ideally the left, with a pillow between your knees for support. Avoid lying flat on your back in later months. To switch sides, bend your knees and roll your whole body together slowly.
By third trimester I have a whole pillow fort just to turn over haha. One between the legs, one behind the back, one to hug. Honestly the pregnancy pillow was the best buy of my life.
Side sleeping with knee support was the only comfortable way for me. Moving gently as one unit, not twisting the belly, kept the strain off. A body pillow made the side switching so much easier.
