Im in my second tri and my kamar pain is making sleep impossible. Everyone keeps telling me to use a pregnancy pillow but I have no idea where exactly to put it. Between legs, under belly, kahan? pls share how u use it.
My mother-in-law told me to keep a regular soft pillow under my knees, but my doctor suggested sleeping on the left side with a pillow between my legs for better blood flow. It really helped to reduce my backache. Try this side-sleeping position, it is very comfortable.
With long office hours, your back will hurt, so buying a C-shaped pregnancy pillow is a great investment that saves you time adjusting multiple pillows. Just slide it between your knees and support your back. It lets you get a good night's sleep quickly so you are ready for work next day.
I completely understand how frustrating it is when you can't sleep because you're worried about hurting the baby. Honestly, sleeping on your left side with a soft pillow supporting your stomach and another between your knees is very safe. It really helped calm my mind and body.
I used to tuck a thin rolled-up cotton bedsheet or a soft pillow under my belly for support, which is a great natural way to get sleep. But if you have any severe back pain or cramping, please don't just rely on pillows and ask your doctor. Otherwise, a pillow between the knees works wonders!
Please make sure to ask your gynac about the best sleeping posture for your specific month. Generally, doctors recommend left-side sleeping with a pillow between your knees to avoid pressure on the main veins. Just confirm with them once during your next checkup.
Using a pillow is a game changer! 😴 I used to sleep on my left side with one pillow under my tummy and another between my knees. It felt like sleeping on a cloud! Try it, you will sleep so much better tonight. 🌸
I remember crying because I couldn't find a comfortable sleeping position during my pregnancy, but now my toddler keeps me awake anyway! Back then, tucking a firm pillow behind my back and one between my legs was the only thing that worked. Don't worry, you'll find your perfect angle soon.
