How long did it take you to be able to sleep on your side/stomach?
try getting a couple of body pillows one for each side....i have them now, i am a back sleeper, but yet a side sleeper...i put the body pillow under one hip and so one hip is kinda raised but not totally on the side...so, pillow under right hip, im leaning towards the left a bit, but not all the way...then i adjust the weight or hips and place body pillow under left hip and weight is on the right hip kinds...just not totally on the side yet....i slept that way while preg, and just kept doing that..i have a pillow for under my knees also....i have the side sleeper pro pillow for under the neck and that has been great...my husband snoring has lessed alot since we got those pillows...they look like a candy cane and it has a spot for your ear to go in....i wish they were memory foam but that would be way more money..i got mine from WOOT, as wal mart is like 20.00 but WOOT had them on sale..2 for 10.00 so we stocked up on them, have them in the closet...pillows dont last long at my house...
my bed is full of pillows, we leave them in their spots when we make the bed....
also try putting your head up more than the rest of your body while on your back....knees up and head up while on back...i sleep kinda in a V but with the pillow under the hip.....but i also have an adjustable bed....
good luck, and just keep trying different variations of sleeping on your bac****il you can get more comfy..
have a blessed day

I spent two nights in the hospital and slept on my back. Day 3 I slept on my side with no problems. I do remember feeling sloshy inside, like my insides were filled with fluid and my organs were moving around in it. It was a weird feeling.
