Hello,
I'm 17 weeks and already struggling with sleeping. I usually sleep on my back and have been practicing sleeping on my side as soon as I found out I was pregnant. So far it's been fine, I've done a mixture of side and back sleeping. From 16 weeks if I rolled onto my back during my sleep I would wake up feeling like I needed the toilet, even though that wasn't the case. The last 5 nights, it feels super uncomfortable lying on my back at all so I wake up and have to go back on my side but the problem is that's also painful, my left shoulder area and ear get sore after a while. At the moment it's waking me multiple times in the night and I feel exhausted when I wake so I'm obviously getting a rubbish nights sleep. I've been sleeping with a cushion between my legs which feels comfortable but doesn't stay there all night. I wasn't expecting this to be an issue so early on. Any tips would be so welcome, thanks in advance x
