I just had to comment because it's so sweet... My 20yr old son is visiting and had borrowed my phone and was on my UA-cam(so he doesn't have to watch ads) anyway, he gave it back just now on this video. His girlfriend is 9 weeks pregnant so he is watching to educate himself😊 I am such a proud mama that I raised a son that cares so much to know what is going on and what he can do and what's normal and not. Thank God I didn't raise a man with no compassion. This gives me hope for my grandchild at having the best chance of being able to navigate life for the future in this nasty nasty 🌎 world!
Can I borrow your son for a few days? My husband is unfortunately one of those guys who is less than caring and supportive (I'm 17 weeks along) so I've been feeling very lonely during my pregnancy so far (doesn't help that I've had a very rough pregnancy so far either). Good job on raising such a good man, his girlfriend (and their future child) is very lucky.
@@NekoArts Don’t let yourself be treated like that by anybody! I truly hope you tell him this is not okay and if he wants to keep you in his life he should act right now. I know this wont make a difference, and although it may be scary to even think about, if he continues treating you like this, moving on will allow somebody out there for you to love you and your baby and treat you with the respect you compassion you deserve.
And you're a good mom, to be happy for your DIL. Mine is jealous everytime my awesome husband takes good care of me. 'Why doesn't he care for me like that?' (Because, MIL, that's your spouse's place and not your son's...)
This is so sweeet!! I absolutely love my husband and he is fantastic in most ways but yes, he’s never been one to prep for anything or research stuff 😂 my personality does though so at least one of us has that gift
Returned to this video to say that what she says is true. I definitely was sleeping without making sure my hip was high enough for my ankle to also be the pillow and it made all the difference. No hip pain! Thank you!
I’m SO glad you shared this video. I have been struggling with back pain these last few weeks especially and no matter how much I stretched or took Tylenol it wasn’t going away. I used this info the last 3 nights and so far I haven’t had any back pain in the mornings at all unlike before and feel much more rested!!
I love my U shaped pregnancy pillow. I would stay on my left side the entire night but it’s my left hip that starts aching through the night from my weight being on it. At that point I switch to my right for the rest of the night or early morning. Otherwise no aches or pains.
Thanks for this! I have been struggling finding how I should sleep to help reduce back pain and nothing has seemed to work. Cant wait to try this tonight.
Me: Spends 5 minutes setting up all of my pillows and getting into a neutral spine alignment. Also me: rolls flat onto my back the minute I fall asleep.
Thanks! This is so helpful! Another issue I have been having is shoulder pain from sleeping on my side. I think I may be putting too much pressure on it. Do you have any tips for this?
This is the first pregnancy I've actually slept well. Intuitively, I decided to change what I was doing the first two times, no longer willing to just suffer. I added a ton of pillows and surrounded my upper body with them. then I folded my pregnancy pillow in half and placed it between my legs which increased the distance between my knees and made it so it was a symmetrical shape that, if I ended switching to my other side, I had the same setup and didn't have to move the whole giant thing. I have not had the horrible hip pain this time around!
I'm super thankful this was in my recommended feed - 25 weeks 4 days and she is getting *heavy* I normally am a back/stomach sleeper and I move a LOT in my sleep, so switching to all one position at night has been very painful. My wonderful husband will stuff pillows behind me or sleep with his back to me so I don't roll over flat on my back, which keeps happening in the night and then I wake up with lots of back pain! I hadn't realized that I needed to make sure my ankles were supported! Definitely going to try this tonight!
Interesting Video ^_^ I seem to do most of these things instinctively. However, when I lie on my left side I quite often experience a racing heart, shortness of breath and dizziness. Once I turn over to my right side, I'm fine. I guess everybody is different. Only three more weeks to go for me :-D
All you mention is what I've been experiencing now, Im 24 weeks pregnant and my stomach is getting heavy now. So rounded with pillows really helpful to sleep very well.
I have never been a back sleeper yet during pregnancy I constantly roll onto my back while asleep even though it absolutely kills when I wake up!? If I lay on my back during the day it hurts immediately so I don’t understand. I’ll try your pillow techniques. This video explained why my kidneys feel achy in the morning too. I know I need to stop myself from rolling it’s just so weird that my asleep pregnant body’s instinct is to go to the back when it’s apparently the worst way to position yourself? What the heck!
It's a grace but I have to thank God for his work in my life. I've been trying to get pregnant for 9 years and today I'm pregnant with a little boy thanks to a very effective trick. I know it can help you too because it worked for me oh
This came at the perfect time, I'm 32 weeks pregnant - bump is getting heavy, which was causing me sleep issues. I had no idea how high/low my elevated leg/thigh should be, so I'm glad you've clarified that. Thank you! 🥰❤️
I LOVE you Jess!!!! You do the best videos... and I religiously do your pregnancy yoga too! Thank you so much for being such a wealth of information and sharing your beautiful light!!
Starting from the very first week I was pregnant to now (12 weeks) I haven't slept through the night more than three or four times. I used to be able to sleep for 10 hours straight. The very few nights I've been able to sleep I have terrible vivid dreams which cause me to be so physically tired that I struggle to get out of bed. So yes, pregnancy affects every woman differently lol I've been having to nap during the day in order to get the sleep I need but I still haven't achieved REM sleep more than a handful of times. It sucks.
@@MrsMuffin11 unfortunately I lose that pregnancy I got pregnant again I lost it too 😢 because of doctor's mistake. Now I am in double agony. Wish you healthy pregnancy
Not sleeping on my back has been so hard this pregnancy. I was in a car accident 3 years ago and sleeping flat on my back helped me deal with the severe pain I was dealing with.
I have been using my pregnancy pillow and wake up with terrible upper and lower back pain. I removed the pillow, slept mostly on my right side, and feel better. I do sometimes roll on my back for a few minutes until I feel that I can not breathe and my limbs get numb that I have to roll on the left. Usually, I switch up like that, otherwise, I would go crazy sleeping on just one side.
Is the bolster in your video a good a choice or just an easy visual? Im having trouble finding pillows that aren’t squishy and hot. Do you have a particular recommendation or brand you could recommend? I like the look of that flatter, firmer black pillow you’re using. Love your videos, thank you!
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!..
Almost 35 weeks here and the heartburn was so bad last night that I had to prop my head up. With having my head propped up, is it then okay to be on my back? Or should I still side sleep? I tried my best to be on my side last night while propped. Also, having an extra long U shaped pregnancy pillow has helped but I still get pretty bad glute pain... even with my ankles elevated! I find daily walks and stretches/squats helps prevent/reduce/relieve the pain the most. Thanks!!
When you are propped up you aren’t really “flat on your back” which is the position where you uterus can squish your inferior vena Cava. I would check with your doctor on the angle that you are on. You can get a big hard wedge to also side sleep elevated. Big hug… it’s so hard at the end. Not too much longer ❤️
With my daughter I found sleeping on my right more comfortable. With my current pregnancy with my son I find left slightly more comfortable. So there might be something to it
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
I couldn’t sleep on my side with my first. It caused me excruciating pain after just a couple hours. I looked it up and apparently if you sleep at a 45 degree angle it relives the pressure so you don’t have to worry about the blood flow. I pretty much slept upright for the last few weeks of my first and am getting to that point with my second.
I get the bent knee thing but my knees are always getting stiff and cracking Which makes it uncomfortable to keep it bent for the entire night And I'm also more likely to get worse calf cramps when my knees are bent like that for so long . Any suggestions?
I love your videos :) I'm in my second trimester and the workouts are easy to follow and not too hard. I was wondering what is the brand and style of the leggings you are wearing in this video? I have been searching for the same ones for a long time and cannot find them.

Thank you for this video. I'm looking for an ideal pregnancy pillow as I'm already experiencing pain in my 1st trimester due to my scoliosis. Would one of those long j shaped pregnancy pillows that goes around the back, neck, tummy and ankles be a good option?
I hated sleeping on my back pre pregnancy. Now it’s the most comfortable position for me. I know they say it’s not safe however my midwife said it’s okay for me to sleep on my back. I’m so conflicted. Going on 33 weeks today.
I usally try to lay my head my husband's upper chest, my tummy somewhat on his side, and wrap my legs around his leg to keep my legs open a bit. I had no idea there were whole pillows that can help with this. Good to have when hes not home.
Im 20weeks at moment and i been having hips ( side of hip) pain from laying on my sides. I use pregnancy pillow but it didnt help me much. i get belly pain as i turn from side to side. I have to hold my belly when i turn. Is there anything can help with the belly pain/discomfort and the hip (both sides) pain ?
Omg I'm struggling with this. I never had hip pain or discomfort before. But after 6 months straight of laying on my left side night after night, my left hip is in so much pain no matter what kind or how many pillows I try to use. Did you find a solution to this?
I would try for my left side, however my right side is more comfortable. Somehow I have a pregnancy sciatica that pains me from my lower left back right around my hip and into my groin. If I stand or sit too long my left side just gives up on supporting me lol 😅 It’s sometimes very painful 😣 to lay on it for too long I often have to flip or flop throughout the night
this I am definitely going to try. i’m about 34 weeks now and my hips are killing me i also have sciatic nerve pain so my hips are killing me. sometimes im not even comfortable on my bed i sleep on my couch 😩 this just lets me know i need more pillows 😩 im always on my left side when im on my bed though that’s the only side with my pregnancy pillow that i actually feel comfortable 😩😮💨
I know what you mean with the hips and low back pain unfortunately. I have fibromyalgia and rotoscoliosis giving me permanent sciatica most of my life and the pain that just feels like your whole body from just under the ribs to under your bum feels like it's being vice gripped. Or like one of those toys with the ball joint that has a character that flops around above it. Alot of the time my whole body feels like one of those.... The toys with the base where you push the button and it collapses and then let go and it springs back up? No idea what they're called. But my joints feel so unstable especially when I'm flared or the weather is shitty/low pressure that it feels like I'm one of those and it's so bizarre and painful 😮💨
Omg... I'd you're a fnaf fan my brain suddenly supplied, " Hey, is like you're in a springlock suit that either doesn't fit or you've died and started to decay inside after possessing the animatronic! BUM BUM BUMMMMMMM". 😂 😂 😂
Love your videos! What kind of pillow/bolster are you using for in between the legs? Have been searching everywhere for something similar but I must not be using the right key words...
The problem is that the left side for me encourages acid reflux and esophageal spasms because of the shape of my upper G.I tract. Its totally the wrong shape......and I have scitaic in both legs + back pain which makes an idealistic nights sleep impossible. I have the same nightmare about supressing the blood flow and causing harm every night but realistically cannot sleep on my left because of my esophagus and stomach, even with raised pillows. ☹️ Its very stressful.
I got 2 wedges one that goes on the left, the other on the right and I sleep in between them. They are the best thing I’ve bought, no pain and comfortable sleep and I’m 38 weeks now! I don’t think the U shape pillows provide the support required
I have to always change to left or right 18 weeks now my pregrancy pillow came today 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my son I used nothing really this pillow I have now is amazing I can't always be of my left I get short of breath so I have to always change now I have my u shape pregrancy pillow hopefully I have some good sleep as I've been showing from early and got a big bump already
Nothing worked for me apart from sleeping seated up at 90degree angle. I did all sorts of gymnastics with pillows but nothin was comfortable for my back.
Turning to both sides alternately is what I want so much but it's not so easy to turn sides what with having to adjust the pillows, lifting your body up to turn, too much work 😢. Then sleeping only on one side for an extended period gives me soreness especially on my thigh.
I sleep more on my left side, but I keep switching back and forth between my left and right. Sometimes if I am more awake, I’d get to my back and stretch my legs more. My doula told me I can sleep on my belly too if I have a doghnut shaped pillow and it actually helps with the positioning of the baby for birth. Is that true?
So I have a question, what do you do if you have nerve problems? like years ago I got into a horse riding accident and since then I've always had issues if I lay on my side for to long and sadly its specially for my left side since it was actually my left hip that sustained the injury (go figure) I sort of came to after my first baby came to accept the broken sleep I'd get cause I would wake up from trying to sleep on my left side due to the numbness I would experience on that side in my leg and the pain I'd get in my hip. I ended up sleeping alot of times reclined in a chair on nights where it was especially difficult because of this...any advice?
pregnant and i have mild costochondritis that flares up when i sleep on my sides so this has been quite a challenge for me, i have to twist my shoulders back to not flare up as much :(
I’m getting some sciatic nerve pinching and so my left leg is going numb occasionally both while standing and lying down. Is there something I can do with my sleep position to help me with that? Everything else has been fixed by following your directions and I’m so grateful!
I struggle with shoulder discomfort when I side lie. Generally switch from right to left sides using a pillow between knees. No back or hip issues. Any advise?
Hi, I have had on and off problems with both shoulders even before pregnancy and was worried it would get worse sleeping on my side. What works for me is I have two pillows under my head (that helps with heartburn I get too) and the way I side lie is to lie with my body and spine aligned pretty much as the lady in the video, pillow between the knees and the hand on the same side I lie on is tucked between the two pillows under my head, palm facing up, as if my face was lying on that palm (but the face and the palm are actually separated by that one pillow). The other hand is usually on my hip or somwhere random. I change sides probably 5-6 times (I turn about every 1,5-2 hours) and currently at 35 weeks I can report that my shoulder pain did not get worse, most nights there is not even any discomfort in the shoulders, elbows or wrists. I would add that if you have two pillows under your head and do not feel discomfort, palpitations or diziness , you can safely sleep on your back if that is more comfortable for you. Hope my response makes at least a bit of sense and helps.
@@waterfish19 Yes, that is definitely true! I usually wake up for a few seconds after every sleep cycle anyway, been like that my whole life, so it is not new or bad for me, but I can understand how uncomfortable it would be if you are used to sleep through the whole night.
I’m 10 weeks and I’m a stomach sleeper and always have been. Ik it’s not good and I’ve tried to sleep in other positions but i always go back to my stomach. Needless to say I’m not looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd trimester when i can’t sleep on my stomach anymore
I was also a stomach sleeper. It does take some getting use to but just remember why you're doing it and it makes the transition a lot easier. At least it did for me.
I have just too much pain sleeping on any of my sides. And it's not from the hip in the air, but the hip I am sleeping on. So I sleep on my back on an incline. Any suggestions? (38 weeks now, have been sleeping like this since week 30+-)
We bought a super soft matress for my side of the bed, with 7 different zones. This allows my hip and shoulder to sink into the softer zones, my belly to stay supported and my spine to be straight. My 4th pregnancy, and I sleep really well!
I added an egg crate mattress topper to my side of the bed (folded a cheap twin sized one in half) and it's relived some of the pressure and pain I've felt throughout my pregnancy. You've may have had your baby by now! Either way, best wishes to you!

@@boffclark263 I’m going to respond only once. I’m glad you are trying to look for a good woman in your life.

Thank you for the warmth in your arms and your heart that makes me feel at home. Thinking about you. You may be out of my sight but never out of my mind.
Thanks so much for this. I was doubting about getting one of those U shaped pillows and bought a half moon one like in this video instead. And it is so uncomfortable, exactly because of the ankle. I may just get the U shaped one after all as it also solves having a pillow behind my back.

@@boffclark263 Excuse me? This is not a dating website. This lady is looking for relief during pregnancy and you feel it's okay to hit on her. Take a step back and think about where you post something like this. Why should she or anyone commenting here have to deal with people as if we're hanging out at a bar? We are in the comfort of our own homes, dealing with this very special and vulnerable period of life we are in (pregnancy), getting unwanted, unwarranted and completely out-of-the blue messages like yours. Don't be a creep.
This is great, but I am hotter than the sun at night (for the first time in my life, ever) and these extra pillows create a burning inferno that I just can't sleep in. So far, I've been using a small blow-up donut pillow to separate my knees. This is great as it keeps me cool too. Might have to buy another for my ankle!
Finally! Someone who actually shows sleeping position. Some videos just tell you how to do it without properly showing and discussing it. Thank you!

I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!..
What kind of herbs
Just in 3rd trimester, I feel my stomach aches when I’m laying in my left side and rights been feeling so much better recently…
Almost 35 weeks here and the heartburn was so bad last night that I had to prop my head up. With having my head propped up, is it then okay to be on my back? Or should I still side sleep? I tried my best to be on my side last night while propped. Also, having an extra long U shaped pregnancy pillow has helped but I still get pretty bad glute pain... even with my ankles elevated! I find daily walks and stretches/squats helps prevent/reduce/relieve the pain the most. Thanks!!
When you are propped up you aren’t really “flat on your back” which is the position where you uterus can squish your inferior vena Cava. I would check with your doctor on the angle that you are on. You can get a big hard wedge to also side sleep elevated. Big hug… it’s so hard at the end. Not too much longer ❤️
My go to is a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Wait for the big burp then go back to sleep with no more heartburn! Hope this helps ☺️
Drinking oregano water or natural yogurt has helped me with heartburn.
I always find it easy to sleep on my right side than my left, am 27 weeks gone
It's said if you sleep on right you might have a girl.. what's your story,?
With my daughter I found sleeping on my right more comfortable. With my current pregnancy with my son I find left slightly more comfortable. So there might be something to it
Same is the case with me. I am almost 27 weeks down. Don't know the gender so can't say anything about that.
Boy and more ease sleeping at my right😂
Same
I am in my 39th week, i am unflcomfortable sleeping either side 😮
Hip pain is what I was having. Not back pain but now i see why. This was helpful
Same here my hips be burning 🔥😩

Same here my hips is so painful🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thank you so much,I needed this information now
I couldn’t sleep on my side with my first. It caused me excruciating pain after just a couple hours. I looked it up and apparently if you sleep at a 45 degree angle it relives the pressure so you don’t have to worry about the blood flow. I pretty much slept upright for the last few weeks of my first and am getting to that point with my second.
I'm suffering back pain and it hurts so much I'm 3months pregnant right now.. Hope this will help😥
Wow 🥰..... I love this ma'am
Thanks so much for sharing this with us
I get the bent knee thing but my knees are always getting stiff and cracking Which makes it uncomfortable to keep it bent for the entire night And I'm also more likely to get worse calf cramps when my knees are bent like that for so long . Any suggestions?
Just change position to more comfortable for you
This is super helpful. Once again thank you!
Thank you this helps so much!
I wonder what bolster/pillow she is using in that video! I want it!
Thank you so much for sharing this video
I love your videos :) I'm in my second trimester and the workouts are easy to follow and not too hard. I was wondering what is the brand and style of the leggings you are wearing in this video? I have been searching for the same ones for a long time and cannot find them.
Sleeping/lying on the left side also reliefs indigestion due to the shape and placement of the stomach 😊
Thank you so much! ❤❤
You are so welcome!

Thank you for this video. I'm looking for an ideal pregnancy pillow as I'm already experiencing pain in my 1st trimester due to my scoliosis. Would one of those long j shaped pregnancy pillows that goes around the back, neck, tummy and ankles be a good option?
I hated sleeping on my back pre pregnancy. Now it’s the most comfortable position for me. I know they say it’s not safe however my midwife said it’s okay for me to sleep on my back. I’m so conflicted. Going on 33 weeks today.
I usally try to lay my head my husband's upper chest, my tummy somewhat on his side, and wrap my legs around his leg to keep my legs open a bit.
I had no idea there were whole pillows that can help with this. Good to have when hes not home.
Im 20weeks at moment and i been having hips ( side of hip) pain from laying on my sides. I use pregnancy pillow but it didnt help me much. i get belly pain as i turn from side to side. I have to hold my belly when i turn. Is there anything can help with the belly pain/discomfort and the hip (both sides) pain ?
Omg I'm struggling with this. I never had hip pain or discomfort before. But after 6 months straight of laying on my left side night after night, my left hip is in so much pain no matter what kind or how many pillows I try to use. Did you find a solution to this?
I liked my left side until getting pregnant now I like right..
Sometimes I roll on my back but not long.. it be so hot too during the summer 😭
I would try for my left side, however my right side is more comfortable.
Somehow I have a pregnancy sciatica that pains me from my lower left back right around my hip and into my groin.
If I stand or sit too long my left side just gives up on supporting me lol 😅
It’s sometimes very painful 😣 to lay on it for too long I often have to flip or flop throughout the night
this I am definitely going to try. i’m about 34 weeks now and my hips are killing me i also have sciatic nerve pain so my hips are killing me. sometimes im not even comfortable on my bed i sleep on my couch 😩 this just lets me know i need more pillows 😩 im always on my left side when im on my bed though that’s the only side with my pregnancy pillow that i actually feel comfortable 😩😮💨
I know what you mean with the hips and low back pain unfortunately. I have fibromyalgia and rotoscoliosis giving me permanent sciatica most of my life and the pain that just feels like your whole body from just under the ribs to under your bum feels like it's being vice gripped. Or like one of those toys with the ball joint that has a character that flops around above it. Alot of the time my whole body feels like one of those.... The toys with the base where you push the button and it collapses and then let go and it springs back up? No idea what they're called. But my joints feel so unstable especially when I'm flared or the weather is shitty/low pressure that it feels like I'm one of those and it's so bizarre and painful 😮💨
Omg... I'd you're a fnaf fan my brain suddenly supplied, " Hey, is like you're in a springlock suit that either doesn't fit or you've died and started to decay inside after possessing the animatronic! BUM BUM BUMMMMMMM". 😂 😂 😂
@@IveGotItTwisted 😩 ouch that sounds so painful 😖😓
Love your videos! What kind of pillow/bolster are you using for in between the legs? Have been searching everywhere for something similar but I must not be using the right key words...
Hi. Question, what is your opinion. 42yr, first time mom... what is your opinion on birthing? Home water birth with doula/midwives, or hospitals?
The problem is that the left side for me encourages acid reflux and esophageal spasms because of the shape of my upper G.I tract. Its totally the wrong shape......and I have scitaic in both legs + back pain which makes an idealistic nights sleep impossible. I have the same nightmare about supressing the blood flow and causing harm every night but realistically cannot sleep on my left because of my esophagus and stomach, even with raised pillows. ☹️ Its very stressful.
I got 2 wedges one that goes on the left, the other on the right and I sleep in between them. They are the best thing I’ve bought, no pain and comfortable sleep and I’m 38 weeks now! I don’t think the U shape pillows provide the support required
I have to always change to left or right 18 weeks now my pregrancy pillow came today 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my son I used nothing really this pillow I have now is amazing I can't always be of my left I get short of breath so I have to always change now I have my u shape pregrancy pillow hopefully I have some good sleep as I've been showing from early and got a big bump already
wow! thank you!
Yeah I had to layer like three more pillows on top of the pregnancy pillow just to get comfortable....the u shaped pillow is so fancy looking
Nothing worked for me apart from sleeping seated up at 90degree angle.
I did all sorts of gymnastics with pillows but nothin was comfortable for my back.
The pregnancy pillow I have supports my back and bump, but doesn’t interact with my leg so I can put them in a neutral position 😊
Hello ma'am, 1st pregnancy was c-section,now 5th month 2nd pregnancy, i wanted to go through normal delivery , please can you provide any tips?
I use my husband as a back pillow when I want to roll onto my back lol 😆
lol!! Perfect! 💞
Turning to both sides alternately is what I want so much but it's not so easy to turn sides what with having to adjust the pillows, lifting your body up to turn, too much work 😢. Then sleeping only on one side for an extended period gives me soreness especially on my thigh.
Right! It’s so hard! I ended up setting pillows on both sides 🤪🤪
This checks out, but I'm just not willing to use so many pillows lol!
Thank you so much for your helpful videos.
I sleep more on my left side, but I keep switching back and forth between my left and right. Sometimes if I am more awake, I’d get to my back and stretch my legs more. My doula told me I can sleep on my belly too if I have a doghnut shaped pillow and it actually helps with the positioning of the baby for birth. Is that true?
So I have a question, what do you do if you have nerve problems? like years ago I got into a horse riding accident and since then I've always had issues if I lay on my side for to long and sadly its specially for my left side since it was actually my left hip that sustained the injury (go figure) I sort of came to after my first baby came to accept the broken sleep I'd get cause I would wake up from trying to sleep on my left side due to the numbness I would experience on that side in my leg and the pain I'd get in my hip. I ended up sleeping alot of times reclined in a chair on nights where it was especially difficult because of this...any advice?
Lol thanks youtube for suggesting this after I already had my baby!
Hi...which shape pregnancy pillow is best? C or U shape?plz reply
pregnant and i have mild costochondritis that flares up when i sleep on my sides so this has been quite a challenge for me, i have to twist my shoulders back to not flare up as much :(
Thank you!🤍
Men.. Im doing it without any recommendations, just feel do comfortable in that position. Im glade im doing it right.
I’m getting some sciatic nerve pinching and so my left leg is going numb occasionally both while standing and lying down. Is there something I can do with my sleep position to help me with that? Everything else has been fixed by following your directions and I’m so grateful!
You are so sweet. Thank you!
Thank you so much 💞
God bless you
Thanks
I love sleeping on my left side thanks❤️
I struggle with shoulder discomfort when I side lie. Generally switch from right to left sides using a pillow between knees. No back or hip issues. Any advise?
Hi, I have had on and off problems with both shoulders even before pregnancy and was worried it would get worse sleeping on my side. What works for me is I have two pillows under my head (that helps with heartburn I get too) and the way I side lie is to lie with my body and spine aligned pretty much as the lady in the video, pillow between the knees and the hand on the same side I lie on is tucked between the two pillows under my head, palm facing up, as if my face was lying on that palm (but the face and the palm are actually separated by that one pillow). The other hand is usually on my hip or somwhere random. I change sides probably 5-6 times (I turn about every 1,5-2 hours) and currently at 35 weeks I can report that my shoulder pain did not get worse, most nights there is not even any discomfort in the shoulders, elbows or wrists. I would add that if you have two pillows under your head and do not feel discomfort, palpitations or diziness , you can safely sleep on your back if that is more comfortable for you. Hope my response makes at least a bit of sense and helps.
@@BarboraMedkova thanks shall try that and a bit on back too if high enough. Having to readjust regularly is impacting a peaceful night sleep!
@@waterfish19 Yes, that is definitely true! I usually wake up for a few seconds after every sleep cycle anyway, been like that my whole life, so it is not new or bad for me, but I can understand how uncomfortable it would be if you are used to sleep through the whole night.
I’m 10 weeks and I’m a stomach sleeper and always have been. Ik it’s not good and I’ve tried to sleep in other positions but i always go back to my stomach. Needless to say I’m not looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd trimester when i can’t sleep on my stomach anymore
I was also a stomach sleeper. It does take some getting use to but just remember why you're doing it and it makes the transition a lot easier. At least it did for me.
those are great tips but what were the two most common mistakes
thank you so much
So glad it was helpful 💞
I have just too much pain sleeping on any of my sides. And it's not from the hip in the air, but the hip I am sleeping on. So I sleep on my back on an incline. Any suggestions? (38 weeks now, have been sleeping like this since week 30+-)
We bought a super soft matress for my side of the bed, with 7 different zones. This allows my hip and shoulder to sink into the softer zones, my belly to stay supported and my spine to be straight. My 4th pregnancy, and I sleep really well!
I added an egg crate mattress topper to my side of the bed (folded a cheap twin sized one in half) and it's relived some of the pressure and pain I've felt throughout my pregnancy.
You've may have had your baby by now! Either way, best wishes to you!
Thanks for this video x
My problem is waking up every hour almost on the dot with numbness pain in the leg I’m laying on
Hmm wish I knew this with my last two pregnancies. Good to know for the future though!
Yay! Maybe another baby then 💞

@@boffclark263 I’m going to respond only once. I’m glad you are trying to look for a good woman in your life. However, I suggest you might want to try asking good women who aren’t married or in a relationship. A good woman isn’t going to up and leave her man just like that, she has integrity and values those in her life.
@@hollyperdue3808 hi holly how are you doing I hope you are good am Ben from Austin Texas am glad you responded am happy for and your family 👪 okay baby let's be good friends am easy going person and I like good let's get to know each other very well where are you from
@@hollyperdue3808 I have been developing wrinkles from smiling too much. Stop being so lovely! You drive me crazy.
My dear, not only have you touched my mind, so I only think of you; but you’ve touched my heart in a way that I will never forget you.
If I quit thinking of you, I might stop breathing too.
I wake up in the morning with you as my first thought. I sleep every night with you as my last thought. Why can’t I stop thinking of you?
In a world of chaos, you are my calm. Thank you for the warmth in your arms and your heart that makes me feel at home. Thinking about you.
You may be out of my sight but never out of my mind.
I want to know how you turn during the night and take all pillows with you :), that's my current struggle
I have severe hip pain due to which I can't sleep at all please please help me how to overcome it
I’m 30 weeks and I’m just suffering with uncomfortable pain during sleep
Thanks so much for this. I was doubting about getting one of those U shaped pillows and bought a half moon one like in this video instead. And it is so uncomfortable, exactly because of the ankle. I may just get the U shaped one after all as it also solves having a pillow behind my back.
Sleeping on my left hurt prior to pregnancy and still does during so whenever I hear the advice to sleep on my left I’m like “I don’t wanna!!!” 😅

@@boffclark263 Excuse me? This is not a dating website. This lady is looking for relief during pregnancy and you feel it's okay to hit on her. Take a step back and think about where you post something like this. Why should she or anyone commenting here have to deal with people as if we're hanging out at a bar? We are in the comfort of our own homes, dealing with this very special and vulnerable period of life we are in (pregnancy), getting unwanted, unwarranted and completely out-of-the blue messages like yours. Don't be a creep.
This is great, but I am hotter than the sun at night (for the first time in my life, ever) and these extra pillows create a burning inferno that I just can't sleep in. So far, I've been using a small blow-up donut pillow to separate my knees. This is great as it keeps me cool too. Might have to buy another for my ankle!
Anyone facing pain under left chest in ribs? Any tips to lower it?
Sameee..i feel like my under left rib could break whenever i sleep on left side for like more than 10 minutes
I did and sometimes still do... turns out it's because one of my twins has her feet there, soooo I just have to suffer 😂
left hand side is ideal.. u always mentioned it will cause hip pain.. I am super confused
