Struggling to sleep!
I’m about to be 37 weeks on Monday and I dread going to bed every night. I can’t get comfortable, I manage to sleep the first like 2/3 hours then I wake up and the top sides of my legs really ache then it’s the same if I flip sides so last night I woke up at 2 and was still up just before 5 😩. I haven’t got a pregnancy pillow but have been putting a pillow between my legs as the midwife said that would help. Any tips to help would be much appreciated 💖

Hello Zoe, I was like this too from week 26. I completely get you. I found it helpful to add a larger pillow (continental pillow) between my upper legs, and a memory foam pillow (bought via amazon) between my ankles. This helps distribute the weight a little more, then a pillow under my breast/stomach as I was laying on my side and one behind you to help keep you in tact. I’ve also adjusted my pillow by my head to be at a slight incline instead of laying very flat. I found this worked for me, pregnancy pillows just did not work for me. I now sleep through apart from the needing to go to toilet a few times but generally feel more rested.

Im following this because the tips would be appreciated as the rolling every hour is a killer 🥹 I did prop an extra pillow behind my back whilst lying on my left side so I could lean back a little whilst being angled and that helped for like a day 😂😂😂
