how do you sleep when you are 5-9 moths pregnant?.?

Question

i wanna know what you really go through when you are about 5-9 months pregnant, and how did you tell you parents and his parents?

Answer 1

I had to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees to sleep comfortably otherwise I was miserable. As for telling the parents, just be honest and come out and tell them. There isn't anything they can do to you. They will probably be disappointed but they won't stop loving you.

Answer 2

I just recently had twins. You can imagine how large I was. I found this amazing pillow called a snoogle. You can buy it at babies r us and target. My twins are now 4 months old, and I still use it. I slept on my left side, because it was easier to breath that way. The snoogle basically curves under your head, in front of your belly and then curves down between your legs. I swear, this pillow stopped many arguments with my husband (I was taking up the bed with all of my pillows). As far as telling your parents and his parents, quick like a bandage. I don't know your personal situation (married, single, young, old) so it's hard to say for sure. The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can come to terms with it, and start accepting the fact that they will be grandparents.
Lots of Luck!

Sleeping during pregnancy can be disturbed by urinary frequency,vivid dreams, temperature fluctuations in the mom's body, over-tiredness, back and limb achiness, stretching and tightness in the stomach, heartburn, indigestion and general discomfort with the unusual proportions of the body.
Fortunately, these symptoms don`t usually feature all at once and a few lucky women don`t expeience any.
Most of the above have slight tricks and tips which can make things abit easier and are best discussed individually....
The best advice generally is to try keep relaxed and focused on the joy of having a baby inside which will not remain inside forever. Also do not cut down on sleeping hours rather be generous - pregnant women take a lot of physical and emotional strain and need time to rest.
I always tell first time mothers - even if you`re not enjoying your sleeping too much these days, don`t get out of bed!!! Once the baby comes sleep is not one of those things you can get much of even if you want to!!

I tell my parents and my husband tells his - We keep it very low-key and make sure to let them know how excited and happy we are so they shouldn`t worry or feel unhappy in any way.We do it over the phone `cos we don`t live close by to our parents. It usually goes something like -"I wanted to tell you some special news, you`re going to have a new grandchild in a little while...We`re so excited and it feels....".

well you sleep on your side, when you get heavier, you put a cushion between your legs to ease the heaviness.. there are many cute ways to let parents know.. you can give your parents and parents in law tshirts saying i am going to be a grandma as a gift and when they open them they will realise.. i think this is so cute..
You go through ups and downs really, depending if you get sick or not, if you get heavy or not. in the 5th month, you are usually ok, you can do so much without getting tired. i suggest Yoga and swimming for pregnant woman.. try to be happy all the time, listen to nice music, it will affect your baby..
best of luck, being pregnant is an amazing amazing time

Answer 5

Well I was 23 when I found out I was pregnant (4 days before my b-day) so the parents... that wasn't an issue.

The further along you get the more uncomfortable you are going to get. Let's face it. It's NOT fun. As far as sleeping, I slept on my back with pillows under my back and head raising me up so I wasn't flat or I slept on my sides w/ pillows under my head and belly and then pillows in between my knees. Good luck.

Answer 6

on your left side...easier to breathe. I didn't tell anyone that I was prgnant until about 6 months. I didn't show at all. But this was my favorite part of the prgnancy. People open doors for you, move out of the way for you, people get you everything you want pretty much. It's a blessing just to be able to conceive and you should definetely share that with people you love. Send a "we're expecting card" with a picture of the ultrasound inside, or have a small dinner and announce it to friends and family. This is when you have the most fun, watching all the changes, feeling all the movement, you want others to watch your family grow and especially be there for you when you need them. Don't hesitate to share your feeling, they will all be just as excited as you.

Answer 7

Well, i didn't sleep well either time...it is tough, you are carring around alot....try putting a pillow between your knees, it really helps with the pressure...
I was married and my parents and his were delighted, first grand child...I am assuming that is not your situation..
I think sometimes you just need to tell, sit them down with your boyfriend and say the words...it won't be easy I am sure, but you can't go through this alone...they may surprise you and not freak out, it is what it is, you can't change this...good luck to you..god loves you, don't forget.....

Answer 8

Well I am 6 months pregnant. When my husband and I found out, we went to Books A Million, bought a pregnancy book, went to my parents house and handed it to them. My husband called his mother since she is in another state.

As for sleeping, you just do the best you can. You are supposed to sleep on your left side as much as you can, good oxygen supply for baby. I can't always sleep on my side but it is usually for comfortable than my back which creates feelings of pressure on your vagina/rectum. I'd say the best bet is on your left side with a pillow between your knees.

Answer 9

its very hard to sleep, cant find a comfortable position, usually on your side is a lot more comfortable, and thats what the doctor recommends. Also, you have to get up every few hours to use the bathroom. I just told my parents, hey im pregnant. your going to be grandparents.

Answer 10

sleeping when you are pregnant can be difficult for some women, and i have learned if you sleep on your side and put a pillow between your legs or under your belly it will be more comfortable for her. When i told my parents i just sat my mom down and told her i was expecting, she wasn't mad or happy she was shocked but after the shock she was fine with it....... they will understand.
