How to Sleep without spending $50?


Ok, so I am not supposed to sleep on my back anymore. So, what do you experienced mothers recommend? There is something called a snoogle. Is that necessary? My friend has one and she loves it, but maybe it isn't necessary. It might be nice for when I am bigger, though. Thanks for the tips!

I bought a body pillow when I was pregnant with Nathan before I was very big and thought for sure I was going to need it. I never used it and have never used anything with my pregnancies. I usually just stuff some of my blanket inbetween my legs and thats comfy enough. But I do know some people sware by body pillows. I would wait until your bigger and if you need something than spend the money.

oh the dreaded no sleeping on back! it is one of my biggest struggles being prego. i wake up on my back all the time :/ but since my first pregnancy i have come to like side sleeping. i've heard some love that body pillow, and some say its so awkward and uncomfy. maybe buy it and see if it works for you! i put a king pillow between my legs and then stuff one behind my back, and then cuddle one. its comfy! try it :)

You can get a body pillow at bed bath and beyond for ten dollars. It was a must have for me and well worth it. I just made my own pillow case for it it's cheaper. I couldn't have made it without it! Good luck cassi!

We have lots of pillows so I just made a pile of pillows on either side of me so my stomach was supported when I got big and I couldn't roll all the way onto my back.

Hmm, I've never been told how to sleep. Besides that you really can't sleep on your stomach. I sleep on my back a lot and on both sides. Did the same thing with my first baby and he's perfect as ever! I just sleep with a pillow between my legs though at night.

Super congrats! You look great.
I wouldn't stres the back, tummy, or side sleeping. I still found tummy sleeping comfortable til the last couple months. I would just used one of our couch pillows under my tummy and/or b/t my legs for side sleeping. And the back sleeping is really only a concern if it makes you lightheaded or you're heavy enough to diminish the blood supply to the baby. But if you really want one of those special pillows you could always try Craigslist...or garage sales if there are any where you're at. Good luck!!
