I have been reading how I am supposed to learn to sleep on my left side at night so as not to damage the baby (once my belly gets bigger) and for better blood flow. I knew this was going to be a real struggle for me as I only sleep well when I am lying flat on my stomach. So, I did what everyone recommended I do (or at least the books and the websites) and I bought a body pillow from Target.
I tested it out last night for the first time and I have to say, I do like it. It is nice to have something to snuggle up to and lean on when I am sleeping. I did struggle staying on one side all night - I have to admit I shifted to the other side throughout the night, but I am happy to report that I think I will be able to sleep on my side going forward. Although the word sleep is relative considering the 7 times I get up each night to go the bathroom.
