If you are using a pregnancy pillow please come in...

So- after reading reviews on pregnancy pillows I asked for a snoogle for Christmas...My IL's were unable to find a snoogle, so they got be a boppy brand instead.  I had read reviews that the Boppy brand went flat pretty quickly, but since it was a gift, I figured I'd use it and make it work...

Well-  I've been using it since Christmas night and I already can tell that it is flattening out...my back kills and I'd love to have something that would support my back, go between my knees and support my belly as it grows....Any good suggestions?  I have tried using pillows strategically placed, but I keep losing them off the side of the bed in the middle of the night.

tia!  This momma-to-be could really use a good night of rest :)

    Yeah, i'm one week from having my DD and my freakin boppy is FLAT FLAT FLAT. Angry I thought it was just all the weight and abuse i've put that thing through but apparently not. lol. The only advice I would have is pillows or just keep looking for that Snoogle. :)

    DH bought me a boppy for christmas that's already going flat. I asked for a snoogle but he thought they were all the same. I have extra stuffing from some pillows I made so I'm going to open the boppy and stuff the crap out of it and sew it back haha.

    My mom bought my snoogle from amazon.com.  I've had it for 3 weeks now and love it.  Its still plump and super supportive.  I would definitely look for one.  I'm sure the stores, including those online, will be stocking up on them again.

    DH also got my snoogle from Amazon and I've had it for about 3 weeks as well.  I think it's actually too full at the head.  It's starting to hurt my neck and my ears.  Otherwise, it's been good.

    My grandmother bought me a Snoogle for Christmas and said my Dad found it for her at Amazon (since she's not computer saavy at all).  I know I've seen it there too for around $50.  Let me tell ya - It's worth whatever they charge.  I've literally been carrying it around the house with me since Christmas.  I even napped for two hours with it on my parents' floor on Christmas day when I got it!  It's like sleeping on a cloud and there are two things I can say for certain:

    1) I don't know how I went so long without it.

    2) I can't imagine any substitute being as good.

    Just go for it! :)

    I ordered a snoogle from target online. WOW it is amazing! It took a few nights to get used to it...I would wake up somewhat tangled in this big, thick pretzel. But now I've got the hang of it and know what is most comfy for me, and I think it's really helping. Go for it!

    I have the snoogle and love it!  I am finally sleeping again. They carry them in Babies R Us and Baby Depot (Burlington Coat Factory).  It was much cheaper @ Baby Depot.

    I found a snoogle at Burlington Coat Factory a few months ago, and I like it but it sometimes gets annoying to me, just gets in the way.  And I do wake up with a sore neck from it sometimes.  Also mine didn't come with any kind of cover which is just strange to me.

    Okay sorry I was having problems with my picture and reply -- so the picture I posted is the pillow I use....although it's sorta bulky, it's the best.  It's called the all nighter and I got it from Wal-mart.  I'm normally a tummy sleeper and I've gotten some great rest since I got it......like the said the downside -- it's huge and bulky!

    I foound my Snoogle at Burlington Coat Factory.  I love it, keep searching! I've been using it every night since early November and it's still puffy and super supportive.  I don't think I'd be sleeping much without it.

    Wow ladies!  Thank you sooo much for all of your replies :)  I guess I'll be ordering a snoogle online...but I might have to check out that big bulky that Mrs.Monica posted about...It might be bulky looking but it reminds me of a comfy nest too. 

    Have a great night ladies...tonight I'll be suffering with a bobby and a nest of pillows around me :)
