Wow! After so many experiments, I have finally found the best bed arrangement for my aching back, swollen feet and burgeoning tummy in this the 34th week of pregnancy!
Here's a pic and as you can see, it took quite a fair bit of organisation - hehehehhehe.....
So, firstly - there is my Original Pillow - I am someone who needs some height to the neck and head so this was a good enough pillow for me pre-pregnancy and huge tummy - nowadays if I sleep on this pillow alone, I can't breathe very well.
Next came the 2 folded up towels to help elevate the Original Pillow - for a time, it managed to counter the
'I have no neck and can't breathe' syndrome.
When it got to be uncomfortable with the bigger, heavier tummy, I started trying out different combos of soft and orignal pillows.....nothing really worked ..... til now that is!
And voila! What do I have - The Original Pillow already elevated slightly with 2 wadded up towels, a Soft Pillow on top of Original Pillow to rest my head, another Soft Pillow to provide a gradual slope so my back doesn't hurt, a Cushion to help reduce the water retention in my feet and last but not least - a Bolster, to bolster support for my back whichever way I'm turned!
Granted, I only sussed this out last night but it worked like a dream - I slept like a baby til 9am this morning!!!!!! Here's hoping there are many more good nights like that!
