Thank you everyone SO much! I just finished the body pillow....... I'll post a picture sometime if my camera decides to work. It's kind of a found object body pillow lol. They wanted between $40 and $300 for one online :shock: , so I took an old dust ruffle and just, pinned, drew a line and sewed then cut it out. I stuffed it with my husband's old puffy winter jackets (he hates them and they're filled with down!). So I'll try that. The recliner let me get some sleep and Dr. approved Epsom salts as long as the bath temp is below 102 degrees.

Thank you, thank you!

This is pricey but it is wonderful! I bought one for sciatia and lower back pain. One of my friends said that her daughter used it when pregnant. Now I cannot do without it! You can google a free shipping code too!

make DH rub your back and knees in with Ben-Gay. I also slept with a pillow at my back and leaned on that at night.

Nothing helped me as much as a hot shower and a massage from my wonderful hubby.

I agree with Quiltbeagle - a nice warm shower and a massage. If you can fit it in your budget for the last trimester, a pregnancy massage is very good. If your husband does it, have him use baby powder - it's fabulous!

Sorry can't help you on this I had one of the easiest time while carrying my son no pain. I could of danced the night away, but didn't. The only thing I remember from the delivery I kept asking is he here yet I was pretty out of it because he was coming feet first I had a car accident 2 weeks before he came which made him turn.

Sorry can't give you any ideas, never had too much trouble with my pregancy except last one a boy, lost lbs. instead of gained. Never so glad to have him be born.

I ended up sleeping in a recliner. Gained over 50 lbs each time and the indigestion was unbearable. Best wishes with your delivery
