pillows

I now require four pillows to sleep at night. Two for my head to keep it elevated so I can breathe through my pregnancy-induced stuffy nose. Since I have to lay on one side or the other (no back or belly sleeping when you're this pregnant) I need one pillow on either side of me. The body pillow for propping up my belly so the ligaments or muscles or whatever holds my uterus in don't hurt and for between my knees so my groin muscles don't ache. On the other side of me is Mr. Doodlebug's pillow that just goes between my knees. So I'm wedged in and whenever I switch sides it's quite ordeal.

Luckily I'm just using a head pillow and a body pillow, but I feel your pain. My body pillow is curvy and goes under the belly, in between the knees and against my back, so I also have quite an ordeal every time I switch sides. Plus the 2x a night pee. Is it naive to hope for better sleep once this baby is here???
