Success after IF

Will a Snoogle Pillow Really Help?

No matter how I sleep -- left side, right side, back -- I am sore and achey and she's kicking me anyway.  I use a supper fluffy down comforter all to myself that I tuck under my belly, between my legs, etc, once I get into a position.  Of course, my back still aches and my uterus feels all heavy. 

So, will a Snoogle do ANYTHING better for me? 9 weeks left, any point to getting it now?

Re: Will a Snoogle Pillow Really Help?

  • I dont think so.  You are already doing what I used my snoogle for and to be honest in the last few weeks NOTHING helped me.

    So sorry, I am sure that is not the answer you were looking for :(

     

  • No, not sure at this point it is worth it.

    I have one, but I don't use it anymore.  I just put a pillow under my belly at night.  That works for me.  I think a wedge pillow would be better, but I just use a plain skinny pillow.

  • The snoogle helped me out tons in the beginning. It still helps out now a bit, but not as much. Probably not worth spending the money on it at this point
  • I agree with pp.

    when I was giant and pg I would be comfy cozy in the snoogle for the first hour (or first pee, whichever came first.) then nothing helped me. I really struggled getting in and out of the thing during the last few months. I slept sitting up or on the couch. save your money.

  • Hard to say but I just got one (thanks teevee) and I've actually slept sound without tossing and turning for the last couple of nights.  It has been amazing for me!
  • I still really love mine, and I think it does help me to sleep better.  Like you, I still wake up to turn from side to side because my legs ache, but I think that's just a joy of pregnancy!  I also use a pillow either behind my back or belly too depending on which way I'm facing.  Hope this helps!
  • One more thing - I think you can also use the snoogle after you have your baby and maybe even to prop her on?
  • I hated the snoogle. It made me sleep worse than without it. I gave it my best shot... really -- used it on and off maybe a dozen times, and each morning I woke up worse than just using pillows.

    With only 9 weeks left, I'd skip the expense.... unless you can borrow one
