Ya I'm on 7th pregnancy and I deal with this problem alot especially around 7 months. It's not fun. You learn to find tricks to make yourself more comfortable. I also forgot to tell you when your propping yourself up like this you should have at least 3 pillows at her head kind of sprawled around you. It will be like your in a cocoon of pillows but hey you feel better. Also does wonders if you have acid reflux issues. Hope it helps

So when I'm like that I place a pillow between my legs. I also place a pillow behind my back and under my stomach. So I'm sleeping on an angle. I'm not exactly on my side and I'm not exactly on my back. Does wonders for a sick stomach. The pillow between the legs should take the Nausea away because your not pressing on the base of your stomach anymore.
