Anyone used a wedge pillow?

[GoodnightDarthVader]

I'm only 21 weeks but having difficulty sleeping on my sides due to stomach issues (wake up feeling really sick). Sleeping on my back all night makes my kidneys hurt. I wonder if propping myself more upright might help?

Has anyone used a wedge pillow or can offer any suggestions?

Thanks!

hi, I am 18 weeks and started using this pillow few weeks back:

It's not amazing quality but for the money good enough, I am sure there are better (but much more expensive) pillows out there. I put part between my legs and rest my right arm on the other end-it helps me to get comfortable and stable being on the side. The inside corner also helps create a little support for the side of the growing belly.

Up until recently I also woke up feeling sick in the mornings-I am not sure this can be related to your sleeping position or simply the pregnancy nausea-for me it helped to get up as soon as I woke up and not to have a lie in-I found it got worse laying in bed awake-but everyone is different of course.

This pillow also creates comfortable cradle for sitting up/being in semi-reclined position in the bed when I put it on top of two normal pillows so it could help you try sleeping a bit more propped up.

Good luck

Thanks happy! I'm waking up in the night with the nausea that eases when I lie on my back, so it's definitely position-related. I actually have one of those v pillows but usually sink down the gap in the middle when I use it to prop me up. I'll try squishing pillows in the middle.

I got a small wedge and I liked it so much and it made such a difference that I got another one to put behind me. Now using it for tummy time for DS so it's still in daily use.
