Alright. i know your supposed to sleep on your side when your pregnant. I just want to know why?

I used to sleep on my back, and it is THE most comfortable position, but since around 24 weeks, i started to sleep in my side. Its really painfull. My neck has started to hurt, i do use a body pillow to support my legs. But my pillows are kind of flimsy. They don’t really support my head and neck.

My fiance is always waking me up in the middle of the night to tell me to turn on to my side. Hes really stubborn about me sleeping on my back.

The question i really want answered is, why do we have to sleep on or sides. Will it hurt the baby to sleep on my back?

By the way, im 31 weeks.

I already have a body pillow for “support.” And I’ve tried to put a pillow behind me (since I’m sleeping on my side) for support. Nothing seems to help!!! I feel like I’m never going to get any sleep again!!!! Any suggestions would REALLY be appreciated! Thank you!

Cozyrest Lower Back Support Pillow, Lumbar Cushion, Royal Blue

The lower middle portion of my back has been hurting for awhile now, and I don’t know what to do. It doesn’t hurt consistently, just only when I move my body in some ways (it doesn’t hurt when I bend my back down or sit or anything – I think it hurts the most when I’m walking). The pain started last Friday, when I sat down on the floor against the bed with a pillow behind my back for support while doing some coursework, and it has been going on ever since. The pain was originally on the lower right side of my back, and then moved to the middle. I’ve been taking Coral Calcium for a couple of days now (didn’t take today and yesterday though, I think), and while the pain has decreased, it hasn’t gone away. =/ I’ve never had this kind of back pain before.

Does anyone know what I can do to make my back feel better? I’m thinking it’s because I sat in an uncomfortable position for my back that day, but who knows?

Oh, and I’m 18 years old. I rarely excercise much (sadly) and I’m a bit of a junkie when it comes to food (I like to eat chips and sweet stuff like chocolate a lot, but I don’t eat it often).

Thank you!

`i am 16 weeks pregnant. Every morning I wake up and my back is just killing me! I sleep on my left side, with a body pillow in between my legs, to give natural hip positioning, and use support pillows for my back. And it still hurts alot when I wake up, and gradually fades off as the morning goes on. Did anyone else have this, what helped you?

[I have slight back pain and I'm redoing my bed]
-I have a mattress that is slightly old but has really only been slept in 10 to 15 times, is it still like new?
-I got all new pillows which should be good for my neck and head support.
-I also got a feather bed mattress top, are these supportive at all or are they just for comfort
-do you think that these things will help with my back pains [which i think was mainly caused by sleeping on a bad mattress with old pillows]
-what else should I do

I am 22 (23 in 1 month), 5′0 tall, and 25 weeks along (6mo, 1wk). I have horrible back pain, even when walking short distances. I am constantly out of breath. Before I got pregnant, I was 160 pounds. I was not fat cause most of that weight is in my hips & thighs. When I sit down, there seems to be no comfortable way to sit. Even laying on my side is uncomfortable. The pillows are not helping either. Also, does anyone recommend the Pregnancy Comfort Back Support and that little wedge thingy? Are there any other affordable remedies that you can recommend that does not involve taking medicine? I don’t know how much of this i can take.

• A few puffs of air is all it takes to inflate the pillow-use a little extra air or less air for the level of support you need.
• Elastic straps allow you to fasten the support to the back of most chairs and position it at a comfortable height.
• Portable design is easy to deflate and fold up, so you can take it with you.
• Vinyl.
• Care: Wipe with a damp cloth.
