Which pregnancy pillow?

Hi ladies, I'm a first time mum. I'm looking for a pregnancy pillow to use for a more comfortable sleep. I am only 10 weeks pregnant but showing ALOT. There are so many options out there and my mind is boggling. I've seen cheaper ones on eBay for about £15 and some really expensive ones for over £50. I don't know what to do!

Any advice is much appreciated.

I liked dream genii.

It slightly depends what you want if for. There are different reasons to use one: from 20 weeks it's recommended to sleep on your left so it helps hold you in position. Relaxin makes your joints bend so it's a good idea to prop your upper leg to ease pressure on the pelvis. You might also want it to take the weight of your bump.

Most will do the second two things, dream genii supports behind you so you can angle your hips differently through the night which is why I liked it.

Also bear in mind you can get them to double as breastfeeding pillows sometimes. Also bear in mind that sleep in pregnancy can just be terrible without there being much you can do about it!

@horse4course thank you. I had ivf so have been very bloated from the beginning. I am 11 weeks and showing a lot. I have noticed my hips have started hurting if I stay on one side too long so the leg bit you mentioned sounds good! Thank you x

I've had a few with my pregnancies and my fave was Dreamgenii. Wish I had it with my first

Another DreamGenii here, mine is called Phillip and I love him. I had one with my first pregnancy which I stupidly threw out one spring clean so I got a new one for second pregnancy and also use it now as a feeding cushion / someone to cuddle when DH is snoring in the spare room.
