My belly has grown a lot now in 7th month and turning in bed at night feels like a whole project. I wake up multiple times struggling. Any tips or pillow tricks to make it easier?
Turning in bed by the 8th month feels like parking a truck honestly haha. I bend my knees, push with my feet and roll slowly with a pillow between my legs. The pillow setup is a total game changer.
Bend your knees and use your arms and feet to roll your whole body together rather than twisting your belly. A pillow between the knees keeps you comfortable. Left side is best for blood flow, so aim for that.
Even after my c section I used the log roll method, moving the body as one unit gently. During pregnancy a body pillow really supported me to switch sides without strain. Go slow, no sudden jerks.
