Sleeping position

Hi all! Currently 18 weeks. Just wanna ask for recommendations for sleeping position. I’ve been sleeping on my left side eversince the start on my pregnancy. However, lately, my leg have been experiencing some cramps & affecting my sleep/rest and will keep tossing and turning. Im also a light sleeper. Usually i will massage my feet before going to sleep. Any other recommendations? Any pregnancy pillow to recommend? How many pillows to sleep with? Or where do you position the pillows? Or any stretches to be done? #advicepls #pleasehelp #pregnancy #sleepingposition #PillowTalk

You may want to try putting pillows (maybe 1 or 2?) below your feet when you sleep, keeping them elevated may help in blood circulation. Also, put 1 pillow in between your legs.

Anyone can advice on some sleeping posture for preggy? We have tried to stacked pillows and bolster and sleep sideways. But she still having difficulties in getting into sleep. Like breathing difficulties due to the baby. #advicepls #firstbaby #sleepingposition

Hello Eric. Perhaps you’d like to let your wife try pregnancy pillow? https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/sg.theasianparent.com/best-pregnancy-pillows-for-back-pain/amp Sometimes in second trimester will cause insomnia which is normal and in third trimester will be even more difficult to sleep comfortably due to big stomach/ the weight it’s normal too. Maybe you can fix her a cup of chamomile tea for her to sip a little before bed time.

I used to sleep on my stomach or back. But now that I am in 2nd trimester, I heard it is advisable to sleep on the side. I tried it a few nights but I was not used to it. And woke up in the middle of night by shoulder pain and arm numbed. It affected my sleep😩what should I do?#pleasehelp #advicepls #sleepingposition

I'm in my third trimester and I still find it hard to sleep on my side. That you'll find it easier as you get bigger since it becomes uncomfortable to sleep on your back is a myth. I prop a pillow on my back to keep me in place and hug a pillow + bolster on my left. Honestly though some days I give up and just lie with my back on a pillow to my right so I'm not flat on my back - I read that it's fine as long as there's a bit of a tilt.
