If I could sleep comfortably like this panda even just for a night, that would surely be a treat.
Sleeping has become such a luxury for me for the past months because my aching back still won’t quit. Since my tummy’s getting bigger, I can only lie on my side since lying on my back would aggravate my back pains. The thing is, I can’t sleep just lying on one side all through the night so I have to shift to the other side every now and then. And that could be really, really painful for me that’s why I have to move really, really, really slow every time.
My hubby has bought a bigger bed for us to replace our old springy bed. The mattress label says it’s supposed to be “orthopedic” and it promises to provide “incomparable support for your back and body.” But with the way I’ve been (not) sleeping, it feels like it’s not helping at all.
I heard memory foam mattresses are good because they conform to the shape of the body. According to Wikipedia, memory foams were invented by NASA to decrease the pressure during take-offs. Although, they did not actually use it, the technology was adapted for mattresses specially for bedridden patients. The memory foam mattress is supposed to be pressure and heat sensitive so it will follow the shape of your body whatever way you lie down. I would surely love to try that one if it didn’t cost almost 700 dollars a pop.
Good thing, my darling hubby has been a willing back massager. He’s been constantly reassuring me that I only need to wait a month more and Kalia will be out soon.
One more month means just 30 more “achy-breaky back” nights. So help me.
