Get a good C-shaped pregnancy pillow from Amazon right away. It makes side sleeping so much easier, especially for long working hours.

Try to sleep on your left side as much as possible, child, it is good for the baby. Always use a soft pillow under your knees.

In the early weeks you can sleep how you feel comfortable, but try avoiding sleeping on your back. Just take things very easy and gentle.

No need to buy those expensive pregnancy pillows so early. Just tuck your regular soft bed pillows behind your back and between your legs.

I am finding it so hard to sit comfortably at my office desk. Should I get a small cushion for lumbar support?

Agree, left-side sleeping is best. Avoid sitting cross-legged for too long as it can affect your back.
