Tummy sleeper!

Okay, seriously how is it possible to sleep only on your side? Any advice????? I am avid tummy sleeper and am pretty sure I can't do that anymore since it feels like I'm shoving a large graperfruit into my stomach when I try to sleep that way anyways. I'm trying to sleep with five pillows now days to remind me to stay on my side. It's just silly! I need a bed with a hole cut out or something. Good thing I already love this baby lots and lots! - Heidi Sue -

hi buddy, i don't know if this is up your alley or not, but there is a massage pillow made, called the "prego pillow" that allows you to sleep on your tummy. i have one that i use on pregos and maybe it would be something you would be interested in buying? i think you can get one for around $200.00. a bit spendy for only 5 months, but maybe worth it. call me if you are interested. i can't wait to see your growing belly. miss you.

love, katie ann

I second the body pillow! Some people really like wedge pillows to support their bellies, but I think a body pillow does the trick. You can cuddle up to it and put it between your knees for support while you sleep on your side.

I used a body pillow all the time. But I love to sleep on my back and my side. Not sure if that will help if you like to sleep on your stomach. I'd suggest laying on your side, but tilted toward your stomach a little bit so you get the feeling of being slightly on your stomach, but you're not. A pillow in the right spots will keep you from rolling over onto the baby. Good luck! You'll be comfortable again in 6 months (ha ha!).

Hey, Heidi! I googled "pregnancy mattress" and there were a couple of hits for you!

It's $154.00, but might just be really worth it if it helps you to sleep better. There were other sites too.

Also do an online search for maternity pillows....you can get body pillows and others for <$50. I bought mine (on sale:) at Kohl's for $15. Sarah
