My neck has been hurting for five days now. It's along the left side. I can't find a comfortable position to do anything, especially sleep. I've been taking Tylenol but it only helps a little! Anyone have any words of wisdom for me???

    I don't know how helpful this will be, but I use a much smaller/thinner second pillow right under my head when sleeping (I found having a second normal pillow was too large). I was okay until around week 18 and then the neck pain started.

    I bought this body pillow: http://www.amazon.com/Boppy-Custom-Total-Body-Pillow/dp/B00AIVN89G and use the smaller round belly piece under my head.

    Neck pain is gone, but now my lower back hurts... ugh!
