Even at this very early stage I am finding it hard to get confy on a night and have about 5pillows to my self on a night, 2 under my head 2 under my leg ( I sleep on my stomach and use the pillows to prop myself more on my side, if that makes sence) and one that I hug almost lol. After I use all these pillows my OH is left with just one which I know he doesnt like but will put up with it :)
Anyway I was just wondering if any of u ladie have got a pregnancy pillow and does it help at all? Where did you get urs from and when did u start using it. It looks great for what I need but I dont want to spend money on a pillow that doesnt work lol
 
I have the sleep genii pillow and love it have used it from about 13 weeks in both of my pregnancys and really can't sleep without it, have look on eBay x
 
I have the dreamgenii, I bought it from mothercare and i am definately better sleeping with it. It supports my bump, my back and my legs x
 
I got a huge body pillow at 8 weeks!!! It was the best buy ever lol. I will keep it I think after the baby is here too :blush:
 
I Like Hope I have a huge body pillow, I have used it from around 16 weeks and I cann't get comfy without it!!x
 
I got a huge v shaped one from eBay which will be handy for breastfeeding. I sleep with half of it sort of between my legs and the other half along the side of my bump so I'm leant on it. it's sooo comfy I can't sleep without it anymore! :)

I got the dreamgenii 2 weeks ago and it has been the best thing ever. I really recommend it, it's wonderful. And apparently can be used as a breast feeding support after as well so will be getting lots of use out of it!

I've got a huge V shaped 5ft long pillow from ebay.. Think it was about £30.. Best £30 I've ever spent!! :D
& I started using it from about 12 weeks xx
 
Am I the only person who can't get comfy with the pregnancy pillow at all?!
I have the 5ft long one and hate it! Its like having another person in the bed and just gets in the way x

I just have an ordinary pillow that I use between my legs sometimes to prop on when my SPD is bad and even that I find gets in the way when turning over.

Aww bless! I just really struggle without the support under my bump! Also I have a habit of rolling onto my back so the pillow stops me x
 
I have a few pillows! I have a double wedge type thing that I use through the night when hubby is in bed with me. Then a long 5ft one and a small knee wedge when hubby isnt in bed with me! piccies below. My double wedge one is a godsend, i have been getting REALLY good sleeps since using it.

its adjustable too which is great

Ooo I didnt realise there was so much choice. I nees to choose soon though cuz my back is killing me this morning. I woke 4times last night trying to get comfy and I just cant. That double wedge thing looks good but then those v shape ones do too :) may have to get both and try
 
I love my double wedge, it supports bump and my back, and it stops me from rolling onto my front or my back. And when i want to turn over, its the same on both sides so no having to take the pillow with you, which means you dont wake up so often. I do like my 5ft pillow to wrap lets and bump around but it is a HUGE pain in the ass when you want to turn over.

double wedge is an excellent invention!
