I'm 31 weeks and it only gets worse in the third trimester. I surround myself with pillows

Its best to attempt at sleeping on your left side cuz early on the baby is more to the right. Try pulling your knees up closer to your body and sleeping with a small blanket that you can cuddle and form to make yourself more comfortable.

They have pregnancy pillows you can buy. Just bought mine and it is amazing. They are expensive but worth it.
