But as last few nights the hip pain is also in my right hip as well. I was thinking about trying to sleep upright, just wondering if this would be as bad as sleeping on my back? Thanks to God and mama Natural. These past couple nights Ive been sleeping on the couch sitting up with pillows behind my back and neck, which feels so much better than laying down. Ive never had to go thru this so early on in my pregnancies, usually dont experience this until my last 3 weeks of pregnancy.
With each of my pregnancies, I began sleeping sitting up with a lot of pillows behind me by weeks. I switch it up a little by side sleeping for short periods, but no matter how many pillows I use, my hips and back start to ache after an hour or so of sleeping on my side. I like that you mentioned using earplugs to help you get into deeper sleep.
