I get it now.</p> <p>@LCTBQE: @T.H.O.U.: Yes our mattress is firm. I didnt realized a firm mattress hurt your hips during pregnancy! I'll look into a topper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585110 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:08:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2585110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with my hips hurting on our firm mattress. I just flip 100 times per night. What has helped is a pillow on my back and a pillow on my front so I'm not perpendicular to the bed exactly but more like a 45 degree. My OB said as long as your butt cheek is off the mattress that counts as "on your side". Basically anything but flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585102 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:03:24 +0000 MrsSRS 2585102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, like a mattress pad or mattress. It was hard to roll over because you sink in and I felt like a floundering whale, but a bit better than a regular mattress once I was settled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585101 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:02:59 +0000 LCTBQE 2585101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can generally fall asleep but wake up in the middle of the night with terrible insomnia and can't get back to sleep for hours. The only thing that helps is a combo of not going to sleep until 11pm, my snoogle, and taking 1/2 a Unisom and a Pepcid AC when I turn the lights out. Otherwise I wake up totally wired and with heartburn at 3am. Our mattress is super-soft, and I think that helps, too. Maybe you could try one of those foam egg carton toppers if yours is firm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585097 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 20:00:08 +0000 Mrsbells 2585097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: did you put the foam in between your knees? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585096 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:57:16 +0000 MrsSRS 2585096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to the chiro every week helped the most. With my first baby I took a warm Epsom salt bath every night. With my second I had a few sips of my husband's wine or beer a few times a week. Memory foam helped my hips a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585095 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:56:56 +0000 Mrsbells 2585095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: yes me too! Falling asleep is hard I end up binge watching things on netflix which isnt good. I end up not falling asleep til really late </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585092 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:54:34 +0000 MrsKoala 2585092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at the point where I have trouble falling asleep so I've been taking one Unisom before bed. It's really helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-trimester-good-nights-rest#post-2585090 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 19:53:42 +0000 Mrsbells 2585090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi for you all of you in your third trimester how are you surviving at night? I cant get comfortable no matter what. I cant remember if it was this bad last time. My hips hurt from sleeping on my side and I cant tell if its better or worse with the pillows. How are you guys coping? </p>
