Posture While Sleeping



The Question of the Day:  Doc what kind of mattress should I get? 

Suggestions: sleep on a firm, flat mattress. You just have to go and try them out.  I don't recommend a specific brand.  I don't think a pillow top is a good idea.  It is best to sleep on your side with your knees and hips bent and a pillow under your head, or on your back with pillows beneath your head and knees. If you must sleep on your stomach, place a pillow under your hips to reduce the curve in your lower back (do not sleep on your stomach in late pregnancy). Another tip - watch out for waterbeds. Many do not offer the support your back needs.
