I think I really need one of these. Did anyone get one of these and does it help for aches and pains?

Re: Pregnancy pillow

I honestly always wanted one,
but I did not want to spend that much money on it.
So i invested in a body pillow instead ($8 vs $70) and I LOVE IT
I sleep with it between my legs and it’s just amazing, sometimes i’ll even used it to rest my back against for when i can’t sleep on my side anymore. I would start with that, worst comes to worst - it’ll just be like having an extra pillow around!

Re: Pregnancy pillow

Yes they are quite expensive. Is the body pillow just the long one? I’ve seen them going for about $8 on gumtree (second hand stuff) and have contacted some people.

So when you get bigger you can’t sleep on your side anymore? :eek: Can you show me an example of yours please?

Room Essentials® Body Pillow : Target

This is the one I bought, it’s just a long pillow.
It’s getting harder now to sleep , period lol. I find myself turning and twisting all night long, they say its best to sleep on your left side when you are expecting - but its not very realistic , i find that i get tired of staying on one side…so i just put the pillow under my back and just stay like that…coz even to switch sides sometimes is a mission haha

Re: Pregnancy pillow

Yes I know about sleeping on left side - my husband is constantly waking me up to turn over to my side if I’m on my back or something :rolleyes:

But with the burgeoning discomfort, it really isn’t realistic like you say.

Oh wow that’s pretty cool and only $8 for a brand new one. Thanks a lot for your advice!

Re: Pregnancy pillow

I have been using the ‘nursing pillow’ same one for the past 4.5 years right before the start and it worked great for me…and after when the baby was here I used it obviously at the feeding times…It came in a set of two slanted weges thingies for the feet, but never really got much use out of those and in my pregnency I would just keep it between my kness for extra support and the wedges at the back…It is sort of ripping apart now and righfully so :cb:
