When your body is large and you cannot find a comfortable position in bed, sleep becomes difficult. In addition to the physical discomfort of the growing belly, you may wake up several times a night to use the bathroom.
Some Women Have Tried...
-
Try pelvic rocking just before you go to bed. It pulls the uterus into a better position so the bladder is not as compressed.
-
Use lots of pillows to support your belly, back and legs.
-
Try propping your upper body up more by using more pillows.
-
Experiment with couches and armchairs in your home to see if you can find a comfortable position in one of them.
