Quick Tip: Hit the Sofa for Some Shut-Eye
"When I was about eight months along, I started waking up with unbelievable heartburn and indigestion. I tried modifying my diet and propping myself up in bed, but nothing worked until I started sleeping on the sofa. Since my back also ached, the firmer surface was a lot more comfortable than my bed, and the cushions and arms propped me up better." -- Marybeth
