Nae - Swapping sides when you have the perfect 'nest' is a nightmare, isn't it!!! I've gone back to just using my maternity pillow in the past couple of weeks so I do a bit of a 'tackle, roll and realign' when I switch sides. I've become quite the expert.
I woke with sore hips again this morning though. Bugger it!!! Some of the preggy website highly recommend putting a piece of foam or a doubled over doona under the sheets on your side of the bed. I might try that tonight. Will let you know if it works.
Glad to hear you're nest is providing some relief though!
firsttimemummy, I too quite often find myself waking up on my tummy. I don't have a massivev bump as yet, but I believe the whole 'sleeping on your tummy' issue is only due to the fact that you won't be able to due to size.
My doctor has advised me to sleep any which way that is comfortable. Your body will let you know if it's not the right/safest position to sleep in. That goes with sleeping on your back. Your body will tell you when it's time to change positions, i.e. - dizziness, faintness, pain...
