So I'm 17 weeks pregnant and starting to show, and for the last few nights I've found sleeping really uncomfortable.
I'm usually a back sleeper but the pressure is too much and makes it hard to breathe. When I sleep on my side, after a few minutes I get a sharp pain like a stitch on the upper side of my belly (as though the bump is pulling me to the bed and tugging on my other side). I then have to stand up and stretch to get rid of the pain, turn over, and the whole thing starts again.
Is this just something to get used to for the next 5/6 months? Or any tips?!? I've tried stacking up the pillows around me but not yet found a comfy way to lie down. Is a pregnancy pillow worth the money?
Tempted just to sleep upright in an armchair for the next 6 months...
