Pregnancy pillows

Has anyone got experience using a pregnancy/body pillow? Is it comfortable? What kind do you use?

Before I got pregnant I always used to sleep on my (left) side. However lately I keep rolling over on my back or even my tummy, which is not that comfortable.
For some reason I can't seem to stay on my side anymore. I wonder if a pregnancy pillow would help, and whether that is comfy.

Very interested to hear any experiences.

I am using one, but it's not quite helpful, especially after 25 weeks, I can not stop rolling all the night. And I found I will feel better when I lying down instead of side, so I will stay lying down for a few time.

I used a tripillow and found that good. one side tucked in between my legs with the other going up under my belly for support.

I just raided our spare bed for pillows - ended up having pillows everywhere in the end! I found it best to have one under my top leg (I would lay on my side with my top leg across like in the recovery position) and one behind me (not to stop me rolling over, it was just comfy to lean back against it). Still ended up waking up a few times each night to roll over.
My only problem was DH used to sometimes steal my pillows in the night - he thought it was comfy under his leg too!

Didn't bother with a BF pillow either - just used 2 spare pillows for the first couple of weeks (with 1 pillowcase stretched over both of them so I only had to grab one thing) and then went down to 1 pillow.

I did the same as kebakat or just slept on my back. Have always been a tummy sleeper so I found that hard not to do. I also had a smaller rectangle cushion which I put behind my back to keep me on my left side as had to get Lily to move to that side in the last 10 weeks.

a pregnancy pillow is a really really long pillow that goes the length of the body(i got one and it wasn't any better than normal pillow) and Dh struggled to fit in the bed as well:) I just used normal pillows in the end:)

I am loving my full body pillow!!! I have that on one side and DH on other so get support which ever side I end up on!!!!

I just used two normal pillows, one in between my legs and one down my back to stop me rolling onto my back.
With this pregnancy i'm using a little wedge type pillow which goes underneath your bump.

Ella - I'm sure I move heaps more in bed during pregnancy, I always slept on my side and never on my back, which is where I keep ending up now.

^^ not sure if there is an actual time, I guess when you get bigger the weight can restrict blood flow to baby I guess, or out pressure on your back? I'm not actually 100% sure when or why though.

Hi there

I brought a "cuddle buddy" which is like a full length body pillow, and super squishy! depending on what part of NZ you live, I think they sell them in malls etc and there are different sized from neck pillows right up to the full body length one. I have used mine every night since about 16 weeks and am 28 weeks now. I am amazed it hasn't ended up on the floor by morning! this is really neat too as it can be folded up like a tripillow if you are ever lucky enough to sit up in bed to get a cup of coffee!

I was also told you can also wrap them around you which helps with b/feeding after the baby is born. Probably easiest if you google cuddle buddy (its all clean!) I think the crowd that sells them is called psmarketing or something.

Sweet dreams!
