Changing positions at night
Show your support
I wish I could say I get this but I can’t sleep in 1 position for longer than 20 minutes due to each leg going dead and having to switch sides 😭🫠
I feel like I have to hold my bump firmly just to roll over, at the moment it's even worse due to ripping stomach muscles from a bad chest infection/cough My only comfortable position is on my back which I know is not great and then I'm also plagued with heartburn 😩 roll on when I can actually lay on my tummy again
Absolutely and now I have a glorious click of the hip when I change sides too 😂
@Lucy yes I also hold my bump as it feels like I need the support and just have no tummy muscles! Ahh the joys of pregnancy 🙈
I went to a physio class and brought this point up! One thing she suggested is turning so you're on your hands and knees , then doing the other half turn. Logically it doesn't seem right and wakes you up a bit more, but I found it less painful.
@Becks this is helpful, I will try! Thank you
@Rosie hope it helped! Xx
Yes I do and if I lie in a position too long then when I move it feel like my belly is a heavy rock I am lugging about and the muscles on the side are stiff. As far as I know this is completely normal!
