I feel ya, I'm not having the same problems but am having difficulty sleeping. I've only gained 12lbs but I feel like I can't breath when I lay down and I look like a whale. lol We're almost there! Yay!

Ditto here.  My lower back on the left side has started to hurt as well (I am 30 weeks today).  One thing I tried the other night was I rolled up a towel into a ball and put it between my back and the recliner and that took my pain away and I was able to fall asleep.  Not sure if that would help you or not.

I've been getting all kinds of pains when I sleep lately. It's really hard for me to turn over, stay in one position, and even sit up. It's crazy. I actually heard a loud pop the other night when turning over onto my other side and could've sworn I was going into labor because my water had just burst (I was half asleep) LOL. I then realized I wasn't leaking any fluid or in sever pain so I just got comfortable and went back to sleep. To minimize some of these discomforts, we've moved the bed next to the wall and I sleep with my back to the wall with a pillow on my lower back and another pillow between my legs to keep my hips positioned. It actually really helps until the baby decides she doesn't like this position and starts her assaults on my belly. LOL. Oh, and I figure it's okay to sound like a cry baby right about now, I'm just preparing my hubby for the actual crying baby. Haha.
