Pregnancy pillows ?

[Findingthisdifficult1234]

Have any of you guys ever used one or thinking of getting one?
Are they worth the money ? Which one would you recommend?

First time round I used a bycarla one, rubbish and absolutely massive. I had to wrestle with it to get out of bed for my frequent wees! Ivenot bothered this time round, got 2 really good pillows instead, but I've heard very good reports about the one Argos sell as people have been able to use it for nursing too.

I've only used the one - dreamgenii - so I can't compare but I quite like it. I'm not big enough to really need it for support but the design stops me flipping onto my back or right hand side when I sleep which was a problem before!

How many weeks are you worrywurta? I've been sleeping on my back and right side, does it matter then? (Argh panicking now haha!) seems there is so much to think about I keep getting it all wrong!

30 weeks now, I wouldn't worry too much about it - I just read an article that said sleeping on your left is better for circulation but the midwife has never mentioned anything. I think when you get bigger it can make you a bit breathless sleeping on your back.

I have one that's multi purpose sold by Argos. I hate it with a passion and have only used it twice. I'm now 35 weeks. I just end up fighting with it as its not easy to roll over in the night with it stuck between your legs.
The saving grace is that I can use it for feeding and it turns into a nest for baby too.

I've got the dream genii lite - which is like the bigger one but without the bit for between your legs, just has back and bump support. Seems to be working quite well my back hasn't been as painful this week since I got it and I'm 27 weeks now my bump was needing some support too so it seems to be doing it's job!

Definitely the dreamgenii. I've been using it from about 16 weeks as I just felt I couldn't get comfortable in bed (usually a tummy sleeper) I'm now 24 weeks and couldn't do without it. The other night I fell asleep without in in the bed and woke up with the worst back pain ever! I bought a couple of extra pillow cases for it too. Brilliant and def worth the money. Although I've since heard tkmax have it on special offer xx

I've just got the Boppy pregnancy wedge pillow to support my bump as I get bigger, I then use a cushion between by knees and a small cushion sometimes behind my back, works out much cheaper :)

I didn't get one during my first pregnancy, though they were a waste of money although by the end of my pregnancy I needed 5 pillows to get comfy. I'm 35 weeks with DC2 and my sister has just given me her old Theraline one and it's the best.thing.ever! Can't believe I didn't get one first time around. I'd buy one, you can always sell it on gumtree to recoup some of the cost and it will be worth it.

I used the dream geni a lot during my first pregnancy and not so much during this one, until about a week ago when I started having agonising groin/hip pain. Using it between my knees to keep the pressure off is really helping!

I used just a v shaped pillow with both my previous pregnancies, helped me and wasn't too big so it didn't annoy me. Cheaper than the pregnancy specific pillows too and useful for breast feeding afterwards. I'm expecting baby number 3 now and will use it again.

I'm 37 weeks and I didn't get one as I thought they seemed like a waste of money but I sort of wish I had bought one as I have to use so many pillows to get comfy now. Seems to late to bother now!

I got one of these, don't really like it. I can't stay on one side all night, no matter what anyone says. Hoping I can still use it for BF support etc. I've now ordered a couple of wedge pillows off Amazon, one for either side, in the hopes that this works better and will allow me to roll over.
