...last night was hellish. Obviously can't sleep on my (enormous) stomach, can't lie on my back because a) it hurts, and b) doesn't it squash something and reduce blood flow to the baby or sommat? And now to add insult to injury, I can't lie on my sides because my hips are getting squashed and ache like a b*stard when I wake up.

What the hell am I supposed to do?! Surely the baby should just do the decent thing and get out now? The thought that this could in theory, go on another 2 weeks, is horrendous.

Hi, definately agree with biglips, we bought a memory foam matress topper, and i have some lovely sleeps still at 38 wks, i do sleep with a pillow or two between the legs to stop the pelvic aches, but my back and hips feel so much better with the memory foam,
