Best pregnancy pillow?

I’m 27+2 with twins and have had to admit that a pregnancy pillow is now needed. Baby on right hand side is breech and head lodged right under my ribs is becoming really painful.

Can anyone recommend a good brand please? There’s so many out there to choose from!

I went for the full body one from Argos - actually I bought two, one for front and back - works for me.

I ordered the dreamgenii in the Mothercare sale last weekend and picked it up in the week. Have slept really well since I've started using it a few nights ago and found it keeps me in the same side position (I usually wriggle lots in my sleep). Hopefully it will come in handy for feeding too once baby is here so would definitely recommend it based on my use so far.

Dream genii is brilliant for during pregnancy - used mine for two DC - so is worth it but be prepared to buy something different in addition as a feeding pillow (if you want one - obviously you might not) as I found it was an awkward shape for that.

For feeding this has worked really well for me - but was too puffy to sleep with, so good to have this and the dream genii www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06X1DXK32/ref=mp_s_a_1_5_a_it?ref=plSrch&keywords=pregnancy+pillows&dpPl=1&dpID=41yiVE40jIL&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1530392268&sr=8-5

I got the Jojo one here - it's excellent in hotter weather and because it's more like bean bag (micro beans) it's not separated in the way pillows do. www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/d3728.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw1NzZBRCoARIsAIaMwuupJtGr6kjQgy8Crt6vuIGe7SJxrOgJ2AB5QSyauaSbCPEGz5S6qpMaAt1AEALw_wcB

I’m being an idiot here - but how do you turn over with the dreamgenii? I know we’re supposed to only sleep on our left in third trimesta, but i seem to remember that being cripplingly uncomfortable if i didn’t regularly flip over last time.

You kind of don’t turn over with the dream genii - and I think that’s part of the point. It kept me reliably and fairly comfortably on my left hand side. Personally I was cripplingly uncomfortable (hips especially) if I tried to flip over in the night.

Thank you for all the suggestions. The dream geni looks goodSmile

Greenthought I worry about the not being able to flip over thing too. I’m a terrible wriggler and naturally prefer my right side. I’m always waking up semi on my stomach. The babies protest and it wakes me up!
