Pregnancy pillow

[Dani8621]

Can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow that will help me more comfortable when sleeping?

I already sleep on my sides (mostly my left) but I keep fidgeting from side to side as I can't seem to get comfortable for long enough and I'm only 17 weeks lol

Thank you!

Oh you poor thing - I had bad insomnia throughout pregnancy and I was so uncomfortable sleeping, definitely worth investing in pillows! I had two - one smaller neck pillow (which I still use for feeding and occasional co-sleeping) and one huge (nearly body length) U-shaped pillow which was a game-changer while I was pregnant and the only thing that could help me sleep near the end.

The only downside with the huge pillow is that it basically takes up the same space as a person in bed it's only any good if you're sleeping separately (or have a very thin partner who doesn't move much in bed). I got both quite cheaply on Amazon - they don't seem to do the smaller one any more but it was basically like this www.amazon.co.uk/Mamas-Papas-Nursing-Pillow-Grey/dp/B01LWPVZ1P/ref=dp_prsubs_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01LWPVZ1P&tag=mumsnetforu03-21 and this was the big one: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07QMTC841/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8.

Both of them got small tears in the covers eventually (in the inside of the curved bit where the fabric gets strained) but were easily enough fixed with a needle and thread. I guess one of the more expensive type pillows might be more durable but I was happy with the cheap and cheerful options!

I just got the bbhugme a few days ago on recommendation from other MNers, and it's honestly changed how I sleep. I literally curl up on/around it from head to toes, and even make a little dent for the bump to take the pressure off my back. From other posts though, feels very much like "to each his own". The bbhugme is ££ and didn't necessarily work for EVERYONE.

If you're still looking for a pregnancy pillow, natural baby shower has the bbhugme for 25% less now (so £116 instead of £145).
