21 weeks and sleeping painful - any tips?

[squishy]

At 21 weeks, I can't sleep on my back (it also gives me extreme back pain to do so) and I can't sleep facing DH as the noise of his breathing, feeling of breath on my face etc drives me insane (bless him!). So tend to spend much of the night on one side facing away from him but keep waking with shoulder, arm, hip etc very sore (there's quite a weight on them, I guess!). When I can turn over and face inwards, I can put my knee up with a pillow underneath it (to protect my back) but he seems to spend much of his time facing inwards as well........

Also, seem to have pins and needles a lot of the time (arm I'm lying on or hand/wrist).....

If anyone has any tips for a more comfortable night's sleep, I'd be really grateful.....it might be worse because I'm getting nearly 10 hours sleep a night (or trying to!)

give him a shove and tell him to turn over and get used to it! lots of pillows is the key i think - one between your knees or one under the top one if you bring your knee up, another kind of under your bump but try not to raise your head too much or you might get a cricked neck - try just one under your head. some companies do a huge preggers pillow for you to hug : it's kind of like a dh subsitute (and it doesn't smell or breathe loud!)

Hi Squishy

With all 3 previous pg and now on my 4th i chucked him into the spare room as i just could not get comfy and have a good sleep with him in the bed.he used to come in for a goodnight cuddle and a kiss then he'd kindly bugger off,it is bliss,makes me feel cared for iyswim,that it's important to him that i get as good a sleep as poss.

So kick him out lol

LOL! That might cause a few problems for him!! We'll see!!! Thanks!!
