Im in my third tri now and the bump makes it so hard to turn sides at night. I end up waking up everytime. Whats the right way to do it without straining the pet?
Listen, don't just roll over like u used to do before pregnancy. Sit up a bit, shift your hips, and then turn to the other side slowly. Use pregnancy pillows if u have to, but stop twisting your belly carelessly.
Beta, never turn in bed with a jerk as it can strain the baby. Always sit up slowly first, or turn very gently by supporting your belly with your hands. Keep a small pillow between your knees for extra comfort, it really helps.
When turning in bed, it's best to sit up slightly or keep your knees together and roll slowly to avoid straining your abdominal muscles. Doing it carefully prevents sudden pelvic pain. If u experience sharp pain while turning, definitely check with your doctor for advice.
Direct roll nahi karna chahiye bed pe, ho na? Pehle dheere se seedhe ho jao, phir dusri taraf turn karo. Apne dono ghutno ke beech mein ek soft pillow rakhna, usse turning bohot comfortable ho jaati hai.
Turning in bed right now feels like a three-point turn of a huge truck! I have to literally plan my move, hug my pregnancy pillow, bend my knees together, and roll like a log. Take it very slow or you'll end up waking the whole house with your groans!
Honestly, just don't twist your upper body alone. Keep your knees glued together, bend them, and roll your entire body as one unit. It takes a second longer but saves u from that awful pelvic stretch pain.
