**Collaborative Post**

The early stages of pregnancy are often filled with joy and excitement as you bask in the glow of those two precious lines appearing on the test. Your mind wanders to all the wonderful possibilities ahead as you begin imagining life with your little one.

This discomfort tends to intensify during the night hours, primarily because medical professionals recommend side sleeping as the safest position during pregnancy. While this position is ideal for your growing bump, it can trigger considerable back pain if your mattress lacks proper firmness. A mattress that's too soft will inevitably sink under your weight, causing your spine to become misaligned and potentially exacerbating any existing discomfort.
