Do you find your self sleeping on your back or side or other positions when you did not do this before the baby. Why do you think you changed your habit? For me I think it was becuase I was nursing and laying on my stomache was uh uncomfortable.

When I was nursing, I liked laying on my side and nurse at night. It allowed me to catch a couple more winks while the baby was nursing. I don't know how many times me and the baby would fall alseep together! :) But after having so many children due to pregnancies and nursing, I now sleep on my side all the time! I got so used to it even in pregnancies. I would sleep on my side with one leg over a body pillow to help support the weight of my belly. And even tough I no longer have a belly...I still have that body pillow and I sleep on my side with one leg over it. :)

I did that too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

I slept on my stomach until I was pregnant. I slept horribly while I was pregnant because I hate sleeping on my back. I was counting down the days until I would be able to sleep on my stomach again. But alas, I had to have a c-section, so it was 6 more weeks til I could sleep on my stomach. Finally I was able to do so again. Til this day I can only fall asleep on my stomach.

Now that you've mentioned it, yes. I find myself sleeping on my back and stomach now, which I never used to do before I had my daughter.

That's so funny. I was thinking about that the other day b/c I always slept on my stomach and then being pregnant 2 times in a short period I had to sleep on my side. I think I got so used to it that I always start on my side now.
