Hi Guys,

I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and for the last couple of weeks I've had real trouble sleeping because of my legs - which absolutely ache. Its a nitemare trying to switch sides when in bed and horrid when I get cramp because it isn't so easy now to quickly sit up to sort it out!
Does anyone have any tips for a good nights sleep? Has anyone bought one of those sleep pillows to put between your legs and found it useful?

Hi Kavvy

When I was in the last trimester of having my little girl I also had the same problem. It just efl like I kept on wanting to tense mylegs to try and get rid of it. I had one of those 'V' shaped pillows that I would put one side down underneath my stomach, the other side down suporting my back with the 'V' shape up by my head. I would then put a normal pillow inbetween my legs and would sleep like a baby. Oh the perils of being pregnant, arnt men so lucky, they can still become a parent but dont have to go though the discomforts.

Hope this helps, good luck!!

i put my feet up on two pillows and use a pillow between my thighs and lay on my left side. I am 38+ weeks and it still works for me! Good Luck! love danielle xO

Hi thanks guys, I'll try the multiple pillow option tonight! Let you know how it goes on Monday.

Hiya

Don't laugh, but I sleep in the recovery position - one arm up, one leg up, tilted slightly to give my bump room!! But then I'm not awfully big yet, so I'm sure it won't be possible for much longer - especially now my appetite is returning with a vengeance!! I won't even go into what I had for lunch, but let's say the cravings are definately kicking in!!

I bought a normal V support pillow, which I find fab, but can't see it helping your legs much - does wonders for raising you when your back hurts though!
