Get a body pillow and sleep on your left side. Put your leg over the pillow and sort of hug it. That helped me and it took pressure off my joints. You still have a ways to go, so you might want to even mention this to your doctor, she might have stretching exercises or different positions for you to try. Good luck!

I went through the same thing and I found that sleeping on my side with a body pillow between my legs and under my belly helped, especially if I kept my head elevated a little bit (otherwise I couldn't breath). A lot of women use 'husband' pillows to sit up in bed, don't know how that helps though. I hope you find some way to get comfortable - I know how miserable this part of pregnancy is.

Are you in pain? or just restless? Either way, you should go and see a doctor. Find a doctor who is a D.O. instead of an M.D.
What Makes DOs Different?
DOs can perform surgery, child delivery, treat patients, and prescribe medications in hospitals and clinic settings.
DOs look at the "total person." Osteopathic physicians focus on preventive care. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they look at the whole body.
DOs receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system, which is comprised of the nerves, muscles, and bones. This training gives DOs a better understanding of how an injury or illness in one part of the body can affect another part of the body; therefore, DOs have a therapeutic and diagnostic advantage.
DOs use what is called osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). OMT is a technique in which the DOs use their hands to diagnose injury and illness, giving special attention to the joints, bones, muscles, and nerves. Manipulations improve circulation, which in turn, creates a normal nerve and blood supply, enabling the body to heal itself.

sorry to break it to you, but its all down hill from here. the last part of pregnancy is brutal. What you can try is go swimming. It takes all the pressure and weight off your body and gives relief, for a short while. Also, get a body pillow, and use it to help support your belly when you lay on your side.

You seem to be too nervous. What for?
Is your baby bumping you all time long or is your stomach upset?
Try to distract yourself by starting a new hobby which could help.
