From the article: Why is sleeping on your back in pregnancy a problem?
What sleep positions work well in pregnancy? Well that depends on who you ask... You're not supposed to sleep on your back in pregnancy. So that leaves your belly or your side. You can use a body pillow or tons of pillows under your knees. I even had a pillow under my stomach to support it. Some moms choose the couch or the recliner...

Side sleeper
- Would toss and turn from my left to right side, couldn't sleep on my back or belly as it was to uncomfortable. I'm now 35 weeks, I've always been able to sleep through the night so not sleeping has been very hard for me. I find myself exhausted during the day but I do manage to nap when I feel like it

What is sleep?
- Currently, I am 33 weeks pregnant, and when I lay in bed I start on my left side, ten toss and turn all night between sides or my back. It's never a full sleep, thoughts are swimming through my head in what seems to be every second, the baby is beating me up, or I get shooting leg cramps. That's why I'm on this site at 3 am and now resorting to the sofa! It's very frustrating.

Baby momma
- I am now 38 weeks and sleeping just doesn't happen anymore. It's currently 4:15 am and I am on my side with a big body pillow in between my legs and very sleepy. Between my hips hurting, heartburn and bad dreams I'm awake most of the night. I slept on my belly and my back until it just wasn't comfortable. I was worried about sleeping on my belly for a while but my body let me know when it wasn't ok anymore. Same with my back. Any way you can sleep--SLEEP!!

No sleep at all...
- Side sleeping, back sleeping, belly sleeping; my baby is just not having it! I shoved huge pillows on my side, back, ect. and all to no avail. At 15 weeks, I am cranky, emotional and craving absolutely nothing! I just want to relax in a dark room and sleep. Especially since my Doc has demanded I be on bed rest. *grrr* >:[

Side Sleeping.
- Am 24 weeks pregnant and this is my first child. Laying on my right side has been the best position for me so far though may need to change position once in a while to my left or lay on my back. God help me, am so anxious to carry my baby in my arms. Good luck to all we expectant mothers!
