What pregnancy pillow is best to stop me sleeping on my back?

I have always slept on my back but since sleeping on your back leads to higher risk of stillbirth I am consciously going to sleep on my side but then I wake up on my back, or I wake in the night knowing my back so turn back on my side.
I have been looking at pregnancy pillows to try and stop me rolling onto my back in my sleep but there's lots of different shapes.
C shape
V shape
Wiggly shapes.
Anyone have any suggestions which one would be best for me?

On my back not knowing my back.

There came a point in all my pregnancies where I naturally didn't lie on my back because it was so uncomfortable. Like lying on your front.

I am a tummy sleeper, I bought a long straight pillow. I used to lie on my side with it kind of hugging it, it went between my legs which helped with hip pain

I’m currently 34 weeks and tried every single pregnancy pillow there is! But the bbhugme has finally made sleeping so much more comfortable and stops me going onto my back! Abit pricey but defo worth every penny!

I have a u shaped one this time. I use the bottom of the u to go between my thighs, then wedge one side of the u under my back, so although im not fully on my side (which is agony for my hips), im tilted enough that its fine. I was told last time as long as youre not flat on your back its fine, so you could just wedge a normal pillow under one sode to tilt you, or buy a wedge shaped one!

I really like the C shape Pharmedoc one.
