Pregnancy pillow recommendations

Hi,

I'm looking for a pregnancy pillow to help me to stay sleeping on my side during the night but I'm struggling a little bit. I'm terrible for turning over in the night so regularly wake up to find myself on my front/back and I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant so feel like I need to try and kick the habit ASAP!

My friend gave me the pharmedoc full body pillow but I just can't get on with it at all. I found the material so hard and because it also has a head/shoulder section, I found it a bit hard in replacement of my normal pillow.

If anybody has any advice I'd be very grateful 😊

Thanks!

The dreamgenii one has been my holy grail! Supports both back & bump no matter which side you lay, and you can pull the longer side inbetween your legs no matter which side you lay either so you're not faffing around everytime you turn over

I was looking at that one actually but then there were a few negative reviews. Good to hear something positive about it - thank you 😊

I second the dreamgenii. I am almost 37 weeks and still getting almost a full nights sleep (apart from going to the bathroom several times). I found it hard to get used to it at first I got it when I was around 15 weeks to stop lying on my back. After a while I found it great and I don’t think I could sleep as well without it now. I turn a lot as well during the night and I don’t bother turning the pillow around when I turn over. It still stops me lying on my back regardless. I have ordered a new cover for it to hopefully use for a feeding pillow soon !

I bought this cheap one as a trial, planning to get a more expensive one if it didn't do the trick and have been completely happy with it, it's been an absolute lifesaver for me, just worth considering if you'd rather not spend a fortune straight away:

And yes it stops me lying on my back, sometimes I will lean back a little but haven't woken up on my back since I've gotten it. It took a few nights getting used to but since then happy to report I sleep though from 10/11pm to 7/8ish except for getting up for a pee around 3/4am!

Another vote for dreamgenii, it was also a lot cheaper on Amazon a couple of weeks ago than anywhere else
