My friend's around 35 weeks pregnant. How many hours of sleep is essential for her? And how can she manage to sleep with the big belly as it's uncomfortable. Any suggestions?

Your friend can take a look at this article on the topic of "sleep" in the third trimester: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a547418/sleep-in-the-third-trimester Her sleep will likely be interrupted due to various factors (such as frequent trips to the toilet, back aches, leg cramps etc). The article suggests lying on her left side with pillows wedged between her legs and behind her back. Alternatively, if lying down is too uncomfortable, she could try resting on a sofa instead.

Sleeping on her sides would definitely help or prop some pillows under her head to ease heartburns. I woke up multiple times bcoz I had to pee/was uncomfortable so the longest sleep I had uninterrupted was maybe 3-4hours? As long as she doesn't feel too tired the next day or too lethagic, she would be fine.

I used this maternity pillow when I was pregnant and it helped. My sleep was not interrupted at all and I could sleep through the night all the way up till delivery. You could suggest to your friend to get this pillow and also drink some calming tea before she goes to bed.
