Pregnancy pillow recommendations?

Hi all. I’m in my second trimester of my second pregnancy and one thing I regret not purchasing last time round was a pillow! I had tried pillows around the house but they did absolutely nothing to help the aches and pains of sleeping on my side.
Are there any pregnancy pillows you would recommend? I’d like to get one before the uncomfortable nights start!

I tried one in my second pregnancy. Biggest waste of money. So uncomfortable and kept waking me up throughout the night. Would never recommend one.

I had one in my first pregnancy and it really did nothing for me unfortunately and I’m not even going to get it out again this time.
The only thing that helps me is to have a normal pillow between my knees.

I have the Kally Sleep U pillow and I can't go without it! I literally take it everywhere, even for 1 night. Made a huge difference to my sleep. I personally needed the U shape to put something behind me to stop me rolling fully onto my back as well as front support, but many also like the body pillows you can hug. Takes up less room than a U but doesn't have the back support. Theres also C shaped and wedge pillows. I'd have been tempted by the wedge ones if our bed wasn't big enough for the U.

I have the Kally sleep body support pillow.
I was so confused with all the different ones but so glad I went for this one.
If you shared a bed with someone just be aware for the U shaped one you need a double bed to yourself lol
So I got the standard body pillow one and is amazing - so comfy!

I bought a cheap L shape one on eBay and I loved it. I wouldn't have been able to sleep without it. I used it even after birth for a while as it took some of the pain away (ecs).

I have the queen rose pregnancy pillow and couldn't live without it. It supports my bump and keeps my hips aligned. It also means I'm less likely to roll onto my back (week 29).

Cheap and cheerful, really comfy - would definitely recommend x

I have this one and love it. Slightly embarrassed to admit that my DD is now 3 1/2 and I still sleep using this pillow Blush

In my first pregnancy I tried one of these really long pillows to sleep on my side but it wasn’t for me as I like sleeping facing down. I just bought one that you can lie on your stomach, I didn’t know they existed but I’m loving it! It’s called Julia’s Den Pregnancy Pillow and the best thing is that I got my husband giving me back massages every night ;)
