This solution seems to be something we should try, just need to indicate where to sell and at what price!
When I was first diagnosed we tried to put some wooden legs in bed to raise the head, was not apparent since continued with reflux and heartburn. I tried those pads for the back, triangular in shape, but also did not result, and was with back pain. When I married, we opted for a medical bed in separate mattress for my husband not always be sleeping in the same position and this has been the solution that so far has proved the most ideal, but fails when the light is a problem. With articulated bed until you feel relief during pregnancy. This system is expensive and the first breakdown not know if we will have opportunities to acquire other. Another solution I found for when missing the electric light is put on top of a large pads breastfeeding pillow those bent into a curve with up to support the head and the tips of the "u" down (like a inverted "u") but I adjust them in order to better support the column.
Ideally even manage to get a laboring schedule that allowed me to dinner always 19h, because my doctor says I can just make the digestion time I go to bed after 22pm reducing reflux.
Anyone else have other tips to share? Are welcome!
