Hi, I'm currently 25 weeks and thought I was doing so well. I've been sleeping with a pillow between my legs and a towel under my
Bump to support it which has been helping but last couple nights have been horrendous and think I just need to invest in a pregnancy pillow. No idea which to get as there seems to be a few shapes and sizes?? Hoping to breastfeed so would be great if it could come into use then too.

Thanks

I bought a quite stiff large memory foam one from primark and it's been really good slotted between legs slightly under bottom half of bump to keep me all lined up.

I have the summer infant body pillow. I love it but it is a bit tricky to roll over or get up for a wee 7 times a night

I borrowed a dream genie the first time which was great. Second pregnancy saw a recommendation on here for a v shaped pillow from Dunelm. Was just as comfy and has been very useful for night feeds.
Second cover is helpful just in case! Hope you feel better soon.

I had a 12 foot one that went all around me, it was good as I could turn over without moving it, just use the other 'leg' iyswim.

I would say that it was a squish with me, DH, and the pillow in a standard double (ok in our king size).
