Any suggestions/recommendations?!?!? I'm desperate!
I can honestly say I've never experienced this before.
I am not sleeping well and wake up in PAIN everyday, and often during the night.
I'm 22wks (will be 23 on Wed). Can't sleep on back. Can't sleep on belly. Only option is to sleep on left or right side.
But I'm waking at night and every morning with PAINFUL shoulders (more right side than left) and mildly painful hips. I also have bad sciatic pain (had seen a chiro, but wqsnt helpful)
Any suggestions on how i can aleviate or lessen the pain!?!?
I've thought of a body illown(contoured) but don't want to spend the money if it won't help.

Do you have a recliner? It may support you better than your bed right now.

What kind of pillow are you using? I was having trouble and I ended up putting a tempurpedic type pillow under my regular pillow and elevating my head a lot and it has helped a good deal. I also sleep with a very mushy pillow next to me, kinda propped partially under the center of my body. I sometimes sleep on my back (with the pillow wedge half under), sometimes even on my stomach with the pillow under that. I also have another small pillow between my knees (but I sleep with that even when I'm not pregnant).
Sorry you're so uncomfortable! Keep trying things! Hopefully something will work!

Re: Any suggestions/recommendations?!?!? I'm desperate!
Im much further along and have been suffering as well for the last few weeks with really bad hip/back pain from consistently sleeping on my left side only... I have found putting a pillow between my legs was helpful in reducing the pain but not taking it away completely. Im still in pain when I wake up...
I hated the body pillow and returned it. If you decide to try it order from amazon its cheaper there than anywhere else and they accept returns
I also found that if I prop myself up with pillows I can fall asleep and since its not on my side my hips dont hurt as much at all...
Sorry your going through this so early on...

This is what I was going to suggest. I kind of made a body pillow out of my own pillows... I sleep with 2 under my head, one between my knees and another one wedged half under my belly when I lay on my side.
The pillow between your your knees will definitely help with the hip pain.
GL!!
