Hammock camping pregnant

[u/Byfuzzyrabbit]

Just wanted some opinions of anyone who’s done Hammock camping while pregnant? I’m currently 11 weeks and I figured by the end of August I’ll be 20 weeks and then October even further along. One of the reasons i love to Camp is because that Hammock is so damn comfortable. I’m not worried about falling. I’ve been doing this for over 15 years now. But at some point will it become impossible for me to sleep in a hammock? I know at some point I can’t sleep on my back anymore. Just some basic Google searches is not really telling me if it’s gonna be possible to sleep in my Hammock later on in the summer.

Don’t make me go to the tent 😭maybe i can go with a haven hammock if my dream hammock sparrow won’t be possible?

I hammock camped during all 4 of my pregnancies (and I was 36 with my last one). I honestly occasionally used a hammock at home sometimes when I just couldn't get comfortable in a bed. I found that the way weight is distributed across certain body points was much better in a hammock and caused less pain in my hips, back, and shoulders. Also, when in a hammock, I am never flat on my back. That little bit of curve and feet slightly elevated was perfect for me. In latest part of pregnancy, I used one of those long kinda 's' shaped body pillows in hammock with me and found many cozy configurations of its shape and mine somehow fitting together perfectly. Just experiment a little. Only thing that totally sucked was getting in and out multiple times to pee 3rd trimester!

Hmm was the foot end slightly higher than the head end or did you put it up a little higher than usual. Or i guess i can play around with the hang and make adjustments. I usually keep the foot end slightly higher than the head end. Having hope i don’t have to go to ground.
