Why I Woke Up Every Hour During My Pregnancy — And What Finally Stopped It
It was 3:07am.
I know because I had been watching the clock all night.
My back was burning.
My hips felt like they were pressing through the mattress.
And the pillow I had wedged under my bump an hour earlier?
On the floor.
Again.
I did not pick it up. I just lay there — wide awake — wondering how I was going to get through three more months of this.
Whether you are at week 20 and your back is just starting to ache, or week 34 and you have not slept more than two hours straight in months — this is for you. Not for pregnant women in general. For you. Right now. Tonight.
I had tried everything.
I bought a giant U-shaped pillow that took over the whole bed. My husband ended up clinging to the edge like he was about to fall off. I tried rolled-up blankets behind my back. I wedged a regular pillow between my knees. I ordered a wedge pillow at 1am when I was so desperate I would have bought anything.
Every single one ended up on the floor by 3am. I would wake up, feel the pain, reach down — and just leave it there. Too tired to fix it.
"I was 29 weeks and I had three different pillows in the bed. My husband called it the pillow graveyard. None of them stayed. I would wake up at 2am, then 4am, then 5am. I was so exhausted I cried in the shower every morning."
— Aisha T., 29 weeks, TorontoKeep reading — this was written for you.
If that sounds familiar — I need you to hear this.
It is not in your head. And it is not your fault.
Here is what nobody tells you.
By your third trimester, your bump can weigh up to 15 pounds when you lie on your side. That weight has to go somewhere. Your back takes it. Your hips take it. Your whole body fights to hold your baby up all night while you try to sleep.
Your muscles get exhausted. And then they wake you up.
That is not an insomnia problem. That is a weight support problem. No regular pillow can fix a weight support problem. They slide. They fall. And the second they do, the weight goes right back onto your back.
"When I understood it was the weight — not just me being uncomfortable — something clicked. I had been trying to sleep harder. I needed something to hold the weight so I could actually rest."
— Mel R., 33 weeks, MelbourneThe night I finally slept — really slept — I was not doing anything different. Except one thing.
I had something wrapped around my waist that held my bump from below. Not wedged. Not stacked. Held. So my back did not have to fight anymore.
I woke up at 6:47am.
Baby kicking.
Back quiet.
Pillow still in place.
I just lay there and cried.
That is what EaseBelly does.
It is a compact waist and belly support pillow built for one thing — holding the weight of your bump from below so your back stops fighting all night. It wraps around just your midsection. It stays when you shift. It does not take over the bed.
"I was sceptical because I had wasted money on two other pillows. But this one wraps around you — it does not just sit there waiting to fall. Week 31 and I am finally sleeping. My husband says I look like a different person."
— Jess T., 31 weeks, Vancouver
