Back / Stomach sleepers...
Are you having trouble falling asleep on your side? I am because I'm so used to falling asleep on my back. When I wake up in the middle of the night I find myself on my back, & I know this isn't good. I'm going to buy the snoogle this weekend, but I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem as well. I hope I get used to this  because I have a long way to go & my couch is going to get alot of usage for the next 5 months!

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
I had that problem in the beginning as well because I'm a stomach sleeper. Once your belly gets bigger you really don't have a choice because you won't be able to breathe if you lie on your back. I am still uncomfortable sleeping on my sides though, even with my body pillow.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
I'm mainly a stomach sleeper and that hasn't happened since I was about 7wks pg. I finally got the snoogle and it helps with sleeping on your side, however I still find some nights waking up on my back. I just roll back over to the side. Its so nice to use that pillow between your legs and curl up. Its super comfy and helps me sleep better.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
Yes, every night is a constant struggle to sleep on my sides (I'm a back sleeper). My doctor said as long as I sleep part of the night on one of my sides I should be fine (I usually wake up on my back).

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
everynite now is just pure murder! i used to sleep part of the nite on my sides, stomach and back bfore being pg. now, i hate only sleeping on my sides, i cant get comfortable and my hips kill me in the morning. i spend more time trying to get comfortable than actually sleeping. i have been thinking about getting one of those bumpil or snuggle things to see if they would help.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
I was just complaining about this. I have been a stomach sleeper and a right side sleeper forever. I am miserable trying to train myself to sleep any other way.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
I am a lifetime stomach sleeper and am having a hard time sleeping through the night on my side. I use a body pillow and switch from side to side, but I tend to wake up with back and hip pain.
Sometimes I sleep on my back by propping up my upper back with two pillows and putting the body pillow under my legs. If you like sleeping on your back try that position.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
I was such a stomach sleeper too! I got to the point that it wasn't possible. Early on I would try side sleeping but I would find myself on my stomach in the middle of the night. I just got the Boppy Cuddle pillow and it has been working great for me. I didn't want the giant snoogle, especially b/c I'm petite.

Re: Back / Stomach sleepers...
What my doctor told me was that your body will move if it's uncomfortable or feeling pressure in the wrong spot.
I am a total tummy sleeper, and was able to stay that way til I was in roughly.... my 5th month I believe....
Don't worry, and stay comfie for as long as you can.
