I haven't been able to sleep with my DH in our bed. It's too firm. It hurts my belly. It actually feels like my belly is pulling on each side, and that makes it hurt. I've tried pillows, but nothing works. Also, I think I pulled a groin muscle this weekend. So that's been killing me. Doesn't matter what I do it still hurts! I am just soooo uncomfortable! I also think the baby dropped??? I have been going to the bathroom all the time, and have all sorts of pressure way down low by my pelvis. Mostly when I get the braxton hicks contractions. He's been playing a number on my bladder! Anyway... thanks for listening!

Re: These last 4-5 days have been so hard...
its hard Melissa - I can relate. I have a really flat pillow that I wedge between my legs long -ways and the end of it reaches to fit under my belly. It doesn't solve the problem 100% but it helps a little. The pressure is so incredible though....God forbid I have to move! (or get up to pee for one of my 8 times!) I also found that my down comforter all bunched up can provide some relief under there.
undeniably it's uncomfy - but we'll get there!!!!

Make sure you always have a pillow between your knees. You need to remove the stress off your back as much as possible. Sleeping is very difficult towards the end. Try to limit fluids 1-2 hours before bedtime. That helped me sleep a bit more thru the night.
