Goodness u too Stesshead? Maybe its cos of the extra weight of twins that its started this early for us. I would really really ask u to try putting a pillow between ur legs.. trust me.. it helps a ton. when I try sleeping on my back..i put the pillow under my legs to give them a little lift..
Can't imagine sleeping straight for next few months now!!
I can't sleep on my back because it makes my tummy feel tight and I still get back pain. Sorry only just seen this Kash but my pain is terrible when it comes. I thought it was because I felt uncomfortable sitting and now im back at work I do more of it. I just put it down to the fact that I got every other symptom I might as well have that!!!
Thanks a ton Ladies
Ur advice is priceless. I slept well after a long time yesterday. With pillows between my legs and another one for my back... I slept really well.
Thanks girls... u r the best!!
No, well not yet anyway. When I was pregnant with my son 9 years ago I didn't either. However, I sleep on my side and have to get up and pee during the night like 1 or 2 times which I rarely ever did before I got pregnant. In fact, I have never peed so much in my life as I am now,lol. For what I hear though, back pain is normal as long as it's not severe--I guess.
I also put a pillow between my knees. It helps keep your pelvis in line.
My back hurts throughout the day. I get 15 minute massages weekly, and she says that she can feel the positioning and tension on those lower back muscles starting to change. I always sleep on my side, I have been putting a pillow between my knees and that helps while I sleep. I dont know, I kind of think that from now on it will be getting used to it, not getting rid of it.
nikko is right. I just started sleeping with what seems like a gigantic pg pillow and my back pain is decreasing. Its one that is a horseshoe shape. I got that one b/c all of the reviews said how it helped with back pain.
My DH calls the pillow my boyfriend and says the pillow gets more affection than he does these days! HA!!!! I keep telling him if he would let me cuddle with him like that all night, then I would gladly snuggle with him over the pillow!
I was having issues. I read an article about all the pressure the size of uterus and baby puts on your back while sleeping. Said to try propping a pillow behind you so you will stay on your side during the night. You could also try a preggo pillow too. Once I started side sleeping or leaning gradually against the pillow, the back pain seems to be better.
