Sleeping eluded me completely once I got pregnant with Alex, and I'll never, ever have such a good nights sleep as I had the night I delivered him, after which they gave me a glorious Ambien AND a Vicodin.<BR/><BR/>Mmmm...drugs.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the sleeping. And the no soft cheeses. And the lack of coffee. And all without wine.Aunt Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146687582842259611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-25144246360098518662008-03-16T09:42:00.000-05:002008-03-16T09:42:00.000-05:00I gotta tell you, I am a stomach sleeper and was t...I gotta tell you, I am a stomach sleeper and was terrified of the prospect of not sleeping on my tummy. So I got the snoogle and it has been wonderful. I loves cozying up in it. DH calls it the chastity pillow but too bad, it is the only way I can sleep at night. Try it, you may love it as much as I do!!nickoletta100https://www.blogger.com/profile/17687545335045943082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-65779746261012381602008-03-15T10:57:00.000-05:002008-03-15T10:57:00.000-05:00Your body has a built in alarm system so that if b...Your body has a built in alarm system so that if blood flow was being cut off to the uterus, you would feel nauseated, wake up and roll over. You can lie on your back if you like without fear, really. And they just mean, absolutely flat btw. Inclined is completely different.<BR/><BR/>If you put a few books under the head of your bed, you will not be flat anymore. That's why it's safe to get ultrasounds and stress tests (Those can last for ages) on your back. That's why they do c-sections on your back. That's why so many women give birth on their back or on a slight incline.<BR/><BR/>It's really not the big deal those stupid books make it out to be.<BR/><BR/>That said, if you do feel like you need to be on your side, and in later pregnancy, you will be more comfortable alternating sides and back, try the snoogle. I have it, and I sleep, the other way flipped from your illustration. I end up hugging the darn thing all night. Yes, it takes up room, but it helps my hips, and my neck.<BR/><BR/>Try inclining your bed a bit, and maybe add some large pillows so that you aren't lying flat. You will be fine, I swear.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-91888942391826979982008-03-15T01:13:00.000-05:002008-03-15T01:13:00.000-05:00I've always been a side-faller-asleeper, but roll ...I've always been a side-faller-asleeper, but roll onto my back during the night. <BR/>Right now if I lay on my back too long, my posterior pelvis hurts so bad that I literally lose my breath when I roll over, so it's quite the motivator NOT to. <BR/>Earlier tonight I was laying in bed reading. I was on my back, but my legs bent & my head propped up. It felt like my right leg came out of my hip or something. I honestly thought the husband was going to have to come roll me out of bed, I couldn't move. Finally with a loud moan, I heaved myself sideway but holy shit, did it hurt. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, all I can do is wake up, think "roll over, shithead" and do just that. But several friends have said their doctors have said that they can lay on their backs as long as they're comfortable- that if you're laying in a way that is doing something bad-it'll hurt. <BR/>Like I said, I'm trying very hard not to because it definitely hurts, but it's hard. <BR/><BR/>Anyway.. to answer your question at my blog- no, they don't see a source of the bleeding (at least, as of 8 days ago, anyway.) She's looked at my placents etc.. everything looks great. They don't know. <BR/><BR/>I'm supposed to call if the blood turns bright red or is accompanied by cramping. It really is quite literally spotting. Yesterday's was like 4 little dots on the TP. And nothing more since then (knocking wood.) It's frustrating and scary, even though logically I'm probably just one of those "lucky" girls who's going to get to deal with this crap the whole time. <BR/><BR/>Is it September yet?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150585209390355119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-4681221102870995962008-03-14T19:58:00.000-05:002008-03-14T19:58:00.000-05:00Tell me about it!
