Best pregnancy pillow for tummy comfort

Hi everyone,

I'm currently 18 weeks and my tummy is slightly sore (round ligament pain?) and I struggle to get comfy in bed or lying on the sofa, which I am doing sometimes. I'm a bit bamboozled by all the choices for pregnancy pillows- C shaped, D shaped, full body length etc etc!! What would you recommend for someone like me? I sleep on my left side and it's my tummy that feels most uncomfortable.

I've got a pregnancy support belt from jojo mama it has memory foam panels that to sound bump to help support in bed and then I use a pillow in between my legs. It's taken a week to start feeling benefits but it's definitely working

The bb hug me pillow has been my saviour! It's fantastic! I take it downstairs with me sometimes to watch tv too so I'm more comfortable on the sofa, really recommend!

Another vote for the bbhugme.
Expensive but worth it.... and ive tried a few 🙈

I found 20% off on scandiborn too.

Wow, these look good but the bbhugme is sooo expensive! I wonder if there are any cheaper versions which work just as well. Seems so much to spend on a pillow! Confused

I have the Asda one. Only £20 and very comfortable.

I'd tried the Dreamgenii, the Queen rose, and a supermarket one... but the BBHUGME comes out on top by miles.

To be honest, its totally worth the money for a good nights sleep!
And for getting comfy on the sofa.

Maybe see if anyone you know has one? Or second hand? You can buy new covers for them I think. It really is worth it though!

Im 27 weeks and suffer from existing back problems- recently have also developed PGP- and have found the £18 full body pillow from Asda fantastic! Just the right amount of stuffing and big enough so you don't have to move it when you turn over in the night! Big thumbs up 👍

The BBHugMe seems expensive until you get it and realise it has changed your life and you are never sleeping without it again Grin

I am aware it is still hugely expensive. I dithered over it for weeks until my back became unbearable then wished I'd got it immediately.
