is anyone using a body pillow yet?

jb2rn · April 2011

I find the the days I work, I am really sore when I wake up the next day. Mostly my sacrum and hips.

I think it might be time for a body pillow, but I don't want a huge thing, because we only have a queen size bed. Maybe just one of the boppy ones that go between my legs.

Is anyone using one yet? If so, do you like what you have?

Yep, I got one right away because my lower back was killing me. I got the larger Bobby pillow (the ssort of 'C' shaped one) and we have a queen bed too.....it's pretty awesome! And it's large, but it doesn't get in my husband's way at all. I probably would have been fine with one that just goes between the legs too, but I figure once I get bigger, I will like this one because there's a place to rest the belly. )

I use a King sized pillow that I've had for years so its not as round as a normal body pillow, but it works great. I was having bad pain in my right hip (man I sound old) and now that i sleep curled around it the pain has pretty much gone away. Let me know what you end up using.

I have one that I've used for years from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I think it was about $15. It is a plain rectangle, nothing fancy like the pregnancy ones, but it does the job.

I got the boppy one a couple weeks ago because I was very uncomfortable when sleeping and it really helped. We only have a queen sized bed too and it doesn't take up too much room.

I ordered the boppy full body pillow from Amazon and it came yesterday. My back's been bothering me during the night and it really did help.

I was having a hard time sleeping since my BFP, so one day DH went and bought me a sleep keeper at wal-mart, it was the best $40 ever... so comfy! It has all these different ways to position it, and some ways help after baby is here, like with BF.

I woke up today with terrible back pain. I'm going out a buying one today, not sure which one though. I need one that doesn't take up a lot of room. Hopefully it helps!

This is what I've been using also. You don't really need to buy a "special" pillow aka expensive. Try out things that you already have first.

I always use a body pillow, but I'm hoping to buy this Boppy one soon.

I bought a cheap $10 one from Target and used it last night for the first time, BEST $10 I've ever spent!

I have a regular $10 body pillow from Target and it has worked just fine for me with both pregnancies.

You will need the Snoogle before long! Trust me. It's worth the money.

I'm not yet, but I'm probably going to buy one sometime during 2nd tri. Last time I was so uncomfortable near the end that I couldn't sleep for more than an hour at a time. I hope to avoid that this go round! I've heard good things about the boppy body pillow, but it's kind of expensive.
