Susan-- You sure have a way of reminding me exactly what I went through during my pregnancy. I could've written this article myself. :-)
I had a great pregnancy [with the exception of third trimester heartburn]. But sleeping started off as something I could do anywhere and it didn't matter how I slept to something that became a struggle.
Since I am a side sleeper, sleeping on my back was never an issue. But during my third trimester EVERYTHING HURT. My legs hurt, my back hurt, I couldn't fall asleep without tossing and turning for hours- it was a real pain.
I bought a special pillow-- nothing. It's still sitting in my closet.
The sad thing is that even after delivery I can't say that I have had a full night's worth of sleep like the old days.
