Okay, I'm not that huge yet but I'm starting to have a hard time leaning back on my special pillow with the arms (what is that thing called anyway?). And I'm wondering if that's just how it is at this point and I need to just lean on my side?

Haha I used to have one of those pillows and called it my husband pillow!
I didn't have a problem lying on my back or reclining when I was pregnant with DD. With DS, I couldn't do it after my 1st trimester. Had to side sleep!

I remember thinking that "don't lay on your back" advice was stupid until I hit a point (don't recall when) when it became really uncomfortable. I had an especially hard time with hospital beds. Laying in them caused me to get queasy and faint. I almost passed out in an ultrasound because the tech insisted that I need to be reclined in that position. I stopped the ultra sounds four times and started getting dressed to leave before she let me do it on my side.

@chopsuey: I think my college roommate used to call it a husband or boyfriend or something!

Yes like @Corduroy: I almost passed out during a late US. Your belly can weight down on an artery or something and that makes you feel faint.

I'm 34 weeks and the last week or so I've noticed if I'm reclining too far back and at a weird angle sometimes my legs will get uncomfortable or tingly or start to fall asleep. I shift positions a lot.
