Sleeping issue during 3rd Tri...

So I sleep mostly on my left side and some of the time on my right. The issue I am having is that my hips get very numb/sore during the night. And it takes a while to shake off when I wake up.

Any suggestions?

LOL.. I just keep flipping like a rotisserie chicken.

I pilow between the legs with my legs not lined up (one more bent than the the other) seems to help a little. I am just entering the 3rd tri. and this is an issue for me already.

I keep flipping over as well. I bought one of those pregnancy wedge pillows at BBB for $8 and it seems to help a little. Lately though my ankles and feet have been swelling so bad that I've been using the pillow more to elevate my feet at night.

Yeah, sleep is a tough issue. And the baby is usually the one who decides which way I will sleep. Try pillows and different positions. Sometimes it is better to have pillows behind you, sometimes in front. I always have one between my legs. The baby doesn't like when I bend my legs at all (she kicks really really hard until i stop). Try different things until you find a way that works.

I have the same problem, but switiching sides seems to help me

Pillow in between legs helps me alot. (If you can get the room from DH in bed, a body pillow is great)
