I literally cannot get comfy any other way.. I've tried all week to avoid it. Its taking me 4 hours to dose off. I'm exhausted. Earlier when having a nap I was like a zombie and rolled on to the bed on my front and out like a light.. I'm 19 weeks.
By what I've googled you can until its no longer comfortable?
It just feels wrong.
I've tried pillows.. Sleeping upright. Sleeping on sofa all. Sorts.

I slept on my front untill it was too uncomfortable to do so, about 25 weeks I think?? Didn't seem to do my DS or myself any harm. After that I got one of the huge pregnancy pillows, it was ace, didn't want to get rid of it after!

I had one of those massive u shaped pregnancy pillows

I then topped it up with normal pillows so I was able to sleep on my front in some sort of way, I kind of did a half front half side type position. It wasn't perfect but it was better than nothing.

I used to dream of inventing a mattress with a big hole in it.

Thank you. Whe I had dd 18m ago it was the same. The huge plow made me feel. Claustrophobic, to the extent it made me panicky.. Sounds silly but I just couldn't get on with it.

The thing I'm looking fears to most after giving birth is sleeping on my stomach again! I haaaaaate being on my side. But i felt uncomfortable from 8 weeks even though it was just bloat. (Being bloated during period also made me uncomfy bit being preg it played more on my mind).

I have a pillow threat theses me on my side but i hate being surrounded by pillows or anything, annoying! I can't even fall asleep spinning and don't like anything touching me usually.

I slept on my front all the way through, but as Room says it was sort of a side position, I'd put a cushion my my side where my bump was and sort of have my leg over that and my top half flat to the pillow. It was really comfortable!

That inflatable holey mattress looks idea !

I made my own, I bought two single foam mattresses and laid them sideways with a gap between them, across my bed . Then I just laid with my tummy hanging down in the gap. It was wonderful.
