Hello!
I'm a back sleeper, heading into second trimester and already feeling my belly is more comfy when i sleep on my side. But when i sleep on my side i get shoulder pain. Any recommendations for pregnancy pillows that might help?
Thanks so much!

I was lucky to be loaned a BBHugMe pillow. Oh my goodness. What a life saver. It's so long so it can be used along your whole body. I used to tuck it around and slightly under my belly for support and have it in between my legs.

We nicknamed it my 'boyfriend' as I spent more time curled up with it than my husband 😂. Was very sad to give it back to it's original owner!

I’m interested to know this too. I’m a back sleeper, first trimester but trying to get used to sleeping on my side. It’s so uncomfortable on my hips when I side sleep 😕

I got a bbhugme and its been v helpful, I started getting hip and shoulder pain around 20 weeks and now having it between my knees and to prop my arm on while lying on my side has really helped. I've always been a side sleeper, but I think it would really help stop you going on to your back anyway
