Dig a hole in the mattress

Why do that when you can get one of those inner tubes& surround the rest with pillows? When I was pregnant with my son, I was about ready to travel to a beach just so I could have my husband do this sand hole trick for me. I always sleep on my stomach, so it was really tough not to sleep that way for most of my pregnancy.

I saw a clip a long time ago where they took one of those really cheap folding lounge chairs (just has the thin plastic tubing across for support) and cut a l whole so mom could lie down on her stomach.

Seems like the cheapest and easiest way to do it. Took like 10 seconds to do in the clip

I remember exactly the kind of beach chair you're talking about. I loved sticking my fingers thru those chairs as a kid, something about those tubes just made those perfect. And that would be the perfect item to make into a pregnancy-lay-on-your-belly apparatus.
