Do you sleep with a body pillow?

AMYfromKYAMYfromKY member
in 2nd Trimester

I have pretty narrow hips and they hurt like crazy now that they are getting wider.  I was thinking a body pillow I could drape my leg over may help at night.  Do any of you all use one?  If so, are there good and bad brands or do they all basically get the job done.

TIA!

    I got a snoogle a few weeks ago & I love it. You can use it two different ways, I do both, one is to have it in front on you, it goes between your legs (which helps the hips a lot) and then I kinds lean over it, its very comfy. You can also put the pillow part behind you, still between your legs to help the hops & lean back against it, this helps with a sore back if you use a heatign pad etc. I dont' think I will be able to sleep without it again!

    I don't sleep with a body pillow, but I do sleep with a pillow between my knees.  I just use a thick pillow.

    I put a regular pillow between my knees, curl up on my side, and pull down the top pillow from under my head so it supports my belly and wrap myself around it.  We have king size pillows, so it works.

    I really didn't want to spend $50 on a pillow...but I gave in this past weekend and bought a Snoogle.  I LOVE IT....though DH feels a bit "replaced" (it's a bit hard to snuggle with a snoogle between you!).  He doesn't get home from work til the middle of the night anyways...too bad!

    Yes! I wouldn't be able to sleep without it.

    I have this one, but DH got it from Babies R Us.

    I sleep with 2 body pillows. One on each side so when I lay on either side I wont have to move my pillows around.

    No, I don't need one. I still sleep on my belly most nights.

    DH and I would have killed each other by now if it wasn't for Boppy's Total Body Pillow. I love that thing! Got it at BRU for about $60. Which is a little much I know but I love it and plan on using it FOREVER!

    I use just a regular body pillow and it works fine.  My only issue is turning over in bed with it.

     

    I use a regular one and it's fine too! I also have the major turning over problem, which results in a lot of cover wars between DH and I :)

    I'm using a body pillow that I bought from Target.  It only cost $10 for the pillow and another $10 for the zippable cover (they had a choice of different cover materials and colors).  It's worked really well so far.
