When did you start sleeping in a chair or sitting position?

Hello lovely ladies. Just wondering when you had to begin sleeping upright or in a different position than on your side due to breathing difficulty or the big belly? I keep hearing about this...thanks!

 

I never did this with either of my pregnancies, but one of my girlfriends did with her singleton. It was in the last month of her pregnancy and she slept in a recliner.

 

I never had to do this either.

Towards the end it was all about lots of pillows!!!

 

I never did either, I just used my regular pillows under my head and was fine.

 

Thats so funny!! I just woke up in the recliner!!
Last night I slept for an hour and a half on the couch, 2 hours in bed and then 3 hours in the recliner!! It was the most comfortable for me, with babies feet in my ribs, stretching out like that is the best way for me to breath. Whenever I'm laying down, I eventually am woken up by kicks, but in the recliner they don't feel so strong!! This is a new development, I've only done it a few times so far....

For me I would have to say about 36 weeks..I had to sleep on the couch with tons of pillows behind my back almost in a sitting postion with one under my knees..It was the only way to get some sleep.

 

Thanks for your help everyone. I hope that I fall into the majority and don't have to sleep in a chair...pillows are good .
