Which pregnancy sleep pillow?

[jrthomas_uk]

Hi,

I wondered if anyone can recommend a sleeping pillow? I'm 32 weeks pregnant and getting uncomfortable at night but have no idea which is the best pillow to buy.

Any recommendations gratefully received (tu)

I've got one of those 'boomerang' type pillows you can have. Please PM to arrange getting it to you, if you want it.

I'm a fan of the big v as it's a bean bag type & you can mould it any way you want to get comfortable. People reccomend it for breastfeeding too.

I had the Theraline pillow - a very long sausage like bean bag, nice and light for repositioning at night but firm enough to give support & can also be moulded. Not really used it for breastfeeding though....

Thx for all your tips.

Different pregnancy stages bring on different pregnancy symptoms. In your first trimester lack of sleep is mostly associated with the increased need to go to the bathroom as well as physical and emotional stress related to pregnancy, whilst in your second trimester sleep often improves slightly. Your third trimester is possibly the worst when it comes to lack of sleep, as your belly is growing faster and heartburn, indigestion and leg cramps are pregnancy symptoms that will occur frequently. You?ll also need to go to the bathroom more often because the baby is taking up more space and therefore putting more pressure on your bladder. When your belly gets bigger, lying on it or lying on your back is no longer safe. Lying on your side is always best, and this is when you need to make the most of supportive pillows ? so put one between your legs and under your tummy in order to support your lower back. If you and your partner often fight over the blanket, or if he doesn?t feel hot or cold as much as you do, having separate blankets is a good idea. And if your bed isn?t comfortable, now?s definitely the time to do something about that!
