Since you already have an appointment on Thursday, it would be a wonderful idea to request a PFT while you're there just to err on the side of caution! As far as elevating your head at night....definitely have someone place bricks or the bed risers under the two posts at the head of the bed...it will elevate your bed without you feeling it soo much...making it easier for you to breathe! (you can also lay on your side and use some pillows to prop your head up too and seee if that helps.)Originally Posted by NoRachelHere
I have an appointment on Thursday so i might bring up a PFT to them while i am there.... its so simple I dont see why they wouldnt! I have tried to elevate my head at night but then I cant sleep! lol I am a stomach sleeper by nature and now I have to lay as flat on my side as possible or I lay awake staring at the wall all night
first thing I am doing post-partum is sleepin on the belly!
That's a pretty name you have picked out
Thank you! It was originally going to be Teagan but we did a google images search and it came up with someone who has that name that is very popular and suffice to say not exactly who I would want as a role model for my daughter, so we kept looking and eventually I just asked him if he liked Anberlin and he said yes!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
That's a pretty name you have picked out/ Definitely try propping your head up at night...elevating your head will put you in a better position to get a deeper breath in and will make it easier to breathe. (and definitely add risers to the front of your bed - that will make the most difference while disturbing you the least).
I thought so too but then I think they told me in my BF class that that can make you express milk, and that your girls might not like that.Originally Posted by NoRachelHere

I get the best sleep now on the couch. The arms of my couch are high so that along with 2 pillows behind me and 2 big cushions under my legs helps me elevate my legs for the swelling and my head for the heartburn. And the couch itself is soft but firm enough to help relieve the tailbone pain. I can even somehow manage to lay on one side with my belly feeling supported and my feet still up some. It ain't great but it's better than what I've gotten in bed recently.I've had several nights recently where I fall asleep on the couch for a few hours, get up and catch a little sleep in bed, and then back on the couch and back into bed.... Or some pattern like that. Depends on the night! Falling asleep on the couch is nothing new (even before being pregnant) but all this back and forth is. As hard as I though sleeping was earlier in this pregnancy, it's only increased recently. But seriously, the couch is my savior when it comes to sleep and keeping my feet up. If we had a recliner I'd try that too. The other night I was thinking how I wish I had a recliner like my Grandpa...its power operated to stand him up at the push of a button!
Your due to have baby any day though! I am almost 10 weeks behind you! lol
