rolling over on my back

[worrieddd612]

hey so i keep rolling over on my back all the time in my sleep..i wake up a lot in the middle of the night but i don't think i wake up from that..im never uncomfortable when i wake up on my back, but i still roll back over onto my side. im really worried it's hurting the baby when i do this..how do i stop? ive tried putting a pillow behind me on my side, but if i roll over onto my other side then my back is exposed again. any suggestions on how to stay on my sides? im still relatively small for being 6 1/2 months, so do you think im even big enough for it to matter yet?

yes mami, she is. I love the woman, but I thought that particular piece of advice was exceptionally annoying.

tarajanes it's kinda like one of those but this one is a giant horseshoe and it's supposed to keep it's shape and not get twisted....it's kind of expensive but we're about to get our tax return (fingers crossed) so I'm splurging, LOL.

I have to go get my daughter to stop teasing the dog at the moment...is this day over yet?

I'm 35 weeks as of today and I go to sleep on my left side (or right side, depends if I'm having leg cramps, like always happens) and then I wake up and I'm on my back! It's annoying but I don't feel uncomfortable at all. A couple of people told me "you won't be able to lay on your back but only cause you'll feel you cant breathe" but this hasnt happened to me at all, I don't know if its cause the baby is smaller or what

Is that those pillows that look like bananas,with a square back piece,if so bought one of those from ebay.they are comfi,but ha for me since i was such a figit.i would get all twisted in bed when trying to turn and nearly roll out of bed :)
good to cuddle up to,and great relief for the belly.

mami1323,
I will have some of that..

I had gallstones and that hurt worse than labor. How can someone say something they have no experience with. Your SIL is annoying...lol.

[Ashelen]

but then...SIL is also the one who told me "labor hurts more than kidney stones" when I was pregnant and had kidney stones...even though she's never actually delivered vaginally OR had kidney stones...the first thing I told her after DD was born was "kidney stones hurt WAY worse than L&D" and...guess what? she got all pissy. hates to be wrong.

[Ashelen]

I know I always hated that saying mami....I'm like 38wks with DD and saying how tired I was...and people would say that to me...I wanted to scratch people's eyes out. I remember SPECIFICALLY telling my SIL after my daughter was born "I'm much less tired now" and she got all pissy about it.
