I am having this problem too and have been for quite a few weeks. I've only been able to sleep on my right side but over the last couple of days I've been getting pains in my side whatever way I sleep.
Sorry no suggestions, I'm still trying to work out a better way to sleep myself.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:08:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327947&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327947 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327775&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327775 Author: chonny

well i reckon that's what the whole peeing during the night is for, it's to perpare you for constant waking up. i had heaps of people tell me that when i was pregnant with vincent]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:28:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327775&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327711&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327711 Author: SarahP08

I have come to the conclusion that sleeping from now on is just not going to be comfortable.

Its uncomfortable lying on either side (where's my arm supposed to go), if I lie on my back I can't breathe and if I lie in my normal pre-pregnancy half on my stomach with my arm above my head and under my pillow my arm goes to sleep and I'm worrying about squishing baby.

And thats without taking into account the fact that I still have to get up six times in the night to go to the loo!

I've tried the pillow thing but I guess lying on my side is just something I'll have to get used to. It'll be worth it in the end! And when baby arrives I'll be used to functioning on little sleep - yay I think ]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:32:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327711&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327711 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327190&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327190 Author: chonny

haev you tried putting a thin pillow under your belly and between the tops of your legs? i found that quite good last time and this time i'm already finding that the pillow between the legs or under my hips is really good]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:10:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=327190&title=just-wondering-odd-question#327190 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=319262&title=just-wondering-odd-question#319262 Author: Kelpa

Went to the midwife this morn and mentioned it...she said not to worry about which side..just to get some sleep and that not to worry about lying on back now either (much later on) - if its comfy do it.

Also has suggested 1000mg EPO once a day for my headaches as can help with the hormones...going to try that :o)]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:28:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=319262&title=just-wondering-odd-question#319262 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=318639&title=just-wondering-odd-question#318639 Author: ElfsMum

The main blood supply to the baby goes down your right side so they recommend you sleep on your left, particularly later in the pregnancy as the weight of the baby etc may compromise the supply. Really, you just need to do what you need to do to be comfe. As far as I know sleeping on the left is ideal but most people just sleep either side.]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 13:01:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=318511&title=just-wondering-odd-question#318511 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=318496&title=just-wondering-odd-question#318496 Author: Maya

There are main arteries which supply blood to the uterus on both sides, so it doesn't matter which side you lie on, but most people find one side or the other more comfy. Some experts suggest it's best to lie on the left hand side but when I as preg with the gremlins I hated lying on my left coz Mercedes was bigger than Sienna and it felt like she was squashing her.]]> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:48:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=318496&title=just-wondering-odd-question#318496 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15046&PID=318490&title=just-wondering-odd-question#318490 Author: mum2emj

Isn't it something to do with putting pressure on the blood flow?

I have been having troubles lying on my left side....in fact I just cant anymore as when I do my heart starts doing this really odd beating...feels like it is squished and I start to feel not too good....


Has anyone experienced anything like this....?

I know at some stage I got told to lie on a certain side for some reason during pregnancy but can remember the reason?
