Pregnancy Pillow Recommendations

[FTHGrayskull]

I am 16 weeks pregnant and starting to think about buying a pregnancy pillow, but there are so many options, I just don’t know where to start!
Can you give me some recommendations please? Brands, Shape, Pros & Cons etc.

I have spent so much on maternity pillows, but ended up only wanted to have just a normal pillow between legs and one behind my back. Worth to try if you are okay with using extra normal pillows

I had a cheep one off eBay. About £25 and it was great. So I wouldn’t recommend spending a load of money on it

The theraline. It's amazing

Bbhugme- expensive but so worth it. Not pregnant any more and still use to sit up in bed/read/sleep.

I can’t stand the huge ones… take up all the bed, make me hot and don’t actually do that much for me.
I have one of these - Brownrolly Home Pregnancy Pillow,Side Sleeper Pregnancy Support Pillow Adjustable Bed Wedge Pillow Support Waist Side Sleeping Pillow, Bump and Back Support Cushion www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QKW5DLX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K09N64FDS26APAVDCGMH?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21
And it just keeps me on my side and supports under my bump without being intrusive!

Another vote for the bbhugme. I was apprehensive about buying it because it is expensive but I'm SO glad I did! It's like a giant sausage and I like the way you can alter the firmness of it by squeezing the ends together to make it firmer or releasing them to make it softer x

I just use a little wedge under my bump, had a dreamgenie with first baby and hated it, tried it again with this one and still hate it. Just ended up waking up tangled in it and I didn't find it very supportive.

The wedge is great for me, just holds the weight of the actual bump. I'm lucky in that I don't seem to get much back/pelvis pain til right near the end so that might be a consideration too.

Just got a bbhugme, it's good, but honestly much bigger than i need - I don't need full body length, just belly to knees. Wishing I'd got their smaller nursing pillow instead which is half the price and presumably a better size for that too! However I'm only 22 weeks, maybe I'll start using the full length later on??

I’ve tried two in my last pregnancy and hated them both. But after a few days waking up with back ache I’ve just bought a bbhugme… it’s pricey but they accept returns if you don’t like it for any reason

I used the Pharmedoc pregnancy pillow, the u-shaped one, so comfy I still sometimes use it now I'm not pregnant! Got it off Amazon.
