Do you still sleep on your Belly?

[rufalina]

I long to sleep on my tummy, but from about 12 weeks it got uncomfortable and have been forced onto my side.... now it is a night time shuffle with pillows... Enjoy your tummy sleeping while you can!!

I used to just sleep however I was comfy, as even that was a challenge from about 20 weeks!!

I tend to sleep 3/4 on my belly, I have a pillow tucked between my knees, and use a triangle pillow which is sort of under my head and around under my bump. I do find I'm tossing and turning all night trying to get comfortable.

Oh how I miss belly sleeping, I managed it up until 14 weeks and then it got too uncomfortable :/

And now sometimes sleeping on my back I feel like I'm being suffocated by my own body, and the pillow curling up around the sides of my head makes me feel like I'm being eaten by a huge, squishy clam.

So now it's side/belly with one leg raised

I was still sleeping on my belly up until this week, now I am slighly turned to the side only cuz it was feeling a bit weird with my belly getting big. I am a BIG belly sleeper and am trying to stay on my belly for as long as possible as I wont be back on my belly until I finish BF as my boobies get so big and full!
As long as you're comfy, thats all that matters!

Thanks Ladies,
I tired the body pillow. I do love it but DH says its a pain when I change sides and take it with me lol!!

I was reading that if you sleep on our back it can slow the blood flow to the placenta, so thats why I was stressing as my bub is squished between my placenta at the front and my internals inside.

I might try a triangle pillow. I use one to B'feed and think there great for that.

I am doing the belly with knee bent sleep too.


Anyone having really bizarre dreams??

[Linzy]

I have had a few dreams lately about DH running off with another woman but have read somewhere that it is quite normal to dream about that kind of thing when you're pregnant. As you get bigger and more out of shape you fear your partner isn't as attracted to you anymore and that's apparently why you dream about him running off with some other woman. Although DH is loving my bigger boobies at the moment hahaha until he has to fight bub for them in March!

I have had alot of dreams with young girls or older women in them (like my Nonna) and from what I've read it's quite normal too.

And lots of sexy dreams usually involving impossible acts or things we would never do or have never done..very odd lol

Oh! And I also had the most bizarre one where I was infested with 4 kinds of intestinal worms..I have NO idea what that one meant. I have a phobia of worms, snakes, caterpillars, millipedes, CENTIPEDES! So I woke up feeling very ill indeed!

I still sleep on my belly... cant really sleep any other way!

I really struggled with sleeping in my last pregnancy as I was so massive, but this time, not so bad.
