I used a lot of pillows to help prop the bottom of my stomach and one on my back and two for my head. I also had a small pillow to splint across my belly when I move. I know a plethora of pillows but I am able to sleep well! Good luck
I feel the same always cold. I wonder if it was because some of the weight is coming off and the fluid intake. I'm just happy it's not the hot flashes that drove me crazy!
