I'm going to get a pregnancy pillow soon to help stop me sleeping on my back. Currently just under 10 weeks so a little time left to choose one. Which one do you have and do you like it?

Thanks!

I have a C shaped one that cost me around £45 from amazon.
Best purchase to date for my pregnancy. I bought it in my first trimester and now just into my third. Ive never slept so well!
Highly recommend you get one

I bought an L shaped one, its helped me not roll on to my back so much, but it's not helped me get lots of great sleep! Pregnancy insomnia, back ache and hip pain added into the mix isnt fun! But the pillow is comfortable!x

I bought the bbhugme - a little on the expensive side (about £120) but it’s very long so you can wrap/support your whole body with it. It also ties up so you can support yourself lying on your front (not tried it myself as I’ve never been a front sleeper but useful to know!). For me it was worth it as I can’t sleep without it!

Hope that helps x

I second the bbhugme. It is expensive but having been through two prior pregnancies with cheaper pregnancy pillows and excruciating hip pain, I can say it’s been a god send so far in this pregnancy. I wouldn’t be without it. As well as the benefits the PP mentions, it’s a lot lighter and most ready to move than other bulkier billows, makes it much easier getting in and out of bed for all those nighttime toilet trips!

@SunSparkle I got the Queen Rose full body pregnancy pillow on Amazon, about £60 as I got a bigger size one. It's a big U shape. I'm not totally sure about it though. It's super comfortable and I do like it, but it's massive, it's basically another person in the bed and is quite unweildly, it doesn't exactly hold you in position and it wouldn't work to 'stop' you sleeping on your back, you still can do that, but I don't sleep on my back anyway so I just got it to put between my legs to keep my hips level and support my bump when it gets bigger. I'm thinking I may return it and get a Dreamgenii instead...
