So I’ve read that from week 20 you should really sleep on your side .. so I am starting it now just to break me in .. and I keep waking up with a painful dead leg .. I then roll to the other side only to wake up again to that leg going dead! I’ve never had this issue before in my life! Is anyone else the same?!

I’m getting this! And dead arm / hip. Following for advice too😅

I’m also getting this but with painful achey hips 😩

I get this also, I noticed over the weekend sleeping on a more springy but fitmer matress that I didnt get as much hip pain on waking, do you have a memory foam matress? Prehaps the extra weight of baby is pushing you into the matress more? But definitely recommend pillow between your knees. I also have a wedge under my hip and that helps a bit to keep everythi g aligned!

Lots and lots of pillows. However many you need to get the support. I found I was still trying to twist and almost on my stomach that was hurting my belly. So I doubled up the pregnancy pillow between my knees.
I sleep with a regular pillow under my head and the pregnancy pillow sideways on the bed only at my knees stacked. Mine is a U shape, so I stack the ends on top of each other.
Get creative. Whatever works for you.
That way, I can still cuddle hubby. But if I find it needs to surround me, I will.

Pillows! Or a good pregnancy pillow. Support under belly, between your legs(so legs are aligned, and definitely for your back

I use the queen rose maternity pillow and it’s been incredible since I’ve got it. I usually still end up rolling onto my back at some point tho QUEEN ROSE Cooling Pregnancy... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYD4ZSF8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Get this and use a pillow in between your legs. From upper knee to ankle. Saved my life.

I get this too, last couple of nights I’ve given up on the pillow, but then without it I’ve been waking up on my back and panicking.
