Pillow Recommendations

This might be silly because we're not having big-belly problems, but I remember reading some posts about people having sore hips, etc, and acid reflux/heartburn (OUCH). So, anywho, I remember seeing an episode of A Baby Story where this mom had this huge arse u-shaped pillow.

So, my question, anyone use any special sorts of pillows? Anyone have any recommendations from experience? I've seen u-shaped ones (uber expensive) and c-shaped ones (not that bad) .... but I figured I'd get the scoop from someone who knows better. ;D

What do you prefer?

    I <3 my Snoogle. It's awesome. I tried taking a nap without it one day, and that was an awful idea. It helps with the hips, belly, and my arms too. And when I have really bad heartburn at night, I just put an extra pillow or two under my head to prop myself up.

    I don't know if I would have made it without my Snoogle. It took up a lot of space in the bed -- but it made a world of difference. I was always a tummy sleeper & it kept me comfy on my side -- and helped my poor, aching hips so very much. I tried sleeping without it one night so I could snuggle with DH and woke up in horrible pain --- so I definitely know it made a difference for me.

    Lurking to see answers.

    I'm not that far along but I really enjoy balling up my down comforter...

    I found a regular body pillow worked just fine and it's much less expensive than a "pregnancy pillow." I traveled quite a bit during my pregnancy and it was nice to be able to bring the body pillows pillow case with me, and then stuff it with pillows when I got to where I was going...I couldn't have done that with a snoogle or boppy body pillow.

    There are so many OTHER things I'd rather spend more money on during pregnancy.

    Right now I use my comforter or a pillow between my legs.  Unformtunately I end up on my belly a lot, because I am a tummy sleeper.  I think I need a snoogle, I hear they are awesome.
