Sleeping on my back/pregnancy pillow

I'm just entering the 2nd trimester and I'm paranoid about sleeping on my back... because I can sleep on my back all night 😬

I've been sleeping with a pillow behind me to stop me rolling over but it's uncomfortable and giving me a sore back, and my hips are sore from lying on my sides so I'm waking up anyway.

So, I'm looking for recommendations for pregnancy pillows? There are so many on the market!

Thank you x

I'm 26 weeks and have been trying to make do with pillows to. But i have just brought a queen rose pregnancy pillow and it's been fab and most the time stops me getting on my back x

I'm 27 weeks and a natural back/front sleeper. I get sore shoulders from sleeping on my sides and I'm finding that this is a huge issue for me right now. I tried sleeping without my pregnancy pillow for a couple of nights and found my shoulder did better but I was tilting too much into my back or front.

I've just purchased a new pregnancy pillow which hopefully might help as I'll be able to use my own pillow. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075QDD8NM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_8pSOEbM5WCB6E?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

I'm 25 weeks and I've recently bought a pillow called the bamibi from Amazon, it's longish and crescent moon shaped, but smaller (and a bit cheaper) than some of the full body pillows. I've slept with it the past few nights and it's really comfy, and not too hot either Grin

I got the exact same one as @Leah91 and it's AMAZING. I have the same problem as you but it's stopped now with the pillow x

I got the Kaly sleep body pillow and I love it. I was a front sleeper and found I kept ending up on my back and since having this I rarely wake up on my back, it's just nice to hug and I can still pretty much sleep on my front still with hugging it and I'm 26 weeks.
