PREGNANCY PILLOWS

[Snackasaurus]

Can I have some recommendations for pregnancy pillows please? 😊 Did you find they helped? 😊

I would be so lost without mine! It's been an absolute lifesaver for me!
Don't scrimp on a cheap one either. Mine cost around £40 from Amazon and it was worth every penny! Most likely will be used after I've had my baby too!
I've got a C Shaped one but each to their own on preference.
Please do buy one. You won't regret it

This is the one I've got

I've got a 'bbhugme' which is excellent. Nice and squishy but can be adjusted to be as firm as you like. Love love love it!

Do not get a dream genie!!- crap!

Thanks guys. I'll definitely have a look 😊

Ooh I love my dream genie! So so comfy!

@lockdownpregnancy I’m thinking of getting that one. Does it take over the entire bed? DH is worried he won’t have any space or covers lol (we have a king size bed)

I wasn’t planning on getting one but my midwife said I have to sleep on my side straight away. I imagine that might be easier when I have a bump and have no choice but I’m 9w and finding it impossible to get comfy and end up just rolling onto my front for some shut eye. Hoping a pillow will force me

I just got a five foot long bolster pillow, and sleep with it between my legs, and wrap my upper arm over it. It’s been a game changer for my SPD pain - can’t sleep without it now x

Ive got the niimo was only 25 pound and i absolutely love it will deffo use it when the baby's here in november!

I second a bbhugme! The best investment ever, I got it early on so I'd use it a lot and for it to be worth the money... I'm definitely going to use it even after the baby is here 🤣 it also looks nice and could pass for a pillow decoration for the bed if you get the right color. I got one in marble (and when I make the bed it goes horizontal across the bed under our pillows).

@LuckyFlash I slept on my front right up until I 20 weeks with no problem, but I didn't pop until then so I was ok as I couldn't sleep on my side either.
The pillow is big and we have a king size bed too. We have managed fine as the pillow curls around you. The only downside is if you try and turnover as it's a bit awkward.

I got a generic one from Amazon, then upgraded to a Dream Genii. As I got bigger, neither did the trick.

Have just invested in a BBHugMe. Oh my goodness! Game changer! Pricey but has meant I can sleep again, so worth every penny pound

I'm also a bbhugme lover. I got it in my first pregnancy and still going strong in my second. Soooo comfy and really gets rid of any niggles in my hips and back. I love it so much I bought their nursing pillow too.

It's pricey but has good resale value and frankly its worth every penny if you can afford it.

I've got a bbhugme me luckily as a gift it's whooping £140 but really really good and I think it helped me sleep. I started having hip pain around week 20 and got the pillow, it never bothered me again!
It's more like a yoga holster and you can make it firm or sort by adjusting sides or firm on one side soft on the other end.

I ordered the bbhugme a few weeks back and it’s been incredible and made such a difference. To me it’s 100% worth the money because it’s so much more comfortable than a ‘pillow’ style pillow that doesn’t have any give... if that even makes sense?

Just got my bbhugme delivered this week, early days here as only over 15 weeks but it’s so comfy, the hubby has been trying to share it 🤣 I now can’t imagine life without it!! Game changer!

I have a full body pillow similar to this www.preciouslittleone.com/product-information/55/32835/cuddles-collection-12ft-body-baby-support-pillow-white/
Which is a good price in the sale!

It is my favourite thing in the world right now. I love that I don’t have to move it much if I want to roll over and that it also supports my back.
I had a dream genie last time which was a bit crap.

I had a dream genii at a size 14 during pregnancy it was too dainty to offer much support. I'm hoping next time I'll have maintained a now slimmer physique, we'll have upgraded to a bigger bed and I can get one of those massive U shaped ones off Amazon 😁

Bbhugme all the way! Has been a game changer for hip pain this pregnancy versus previous two!

I had my first night with one last night, hoping it would keep me from rolling onto my back. It didn’t. And it’s so uncomfortable to sleep with a pillow between your legs. Total waste of money. I got a 12 foot one from Asda

Same as above, the 12 ft giant sausage from Asda was the best for me
