Body pillow vs Pregnancy pillow

What is your choice?

Currently I've been using one standard pillow in between my legs, and one to hold on to, then one under my head. It was working before, and now it's not really helping. I've been told to get a body pillow, and it will work wonders. And I know some pregnancy pillows can be super expensive, whereas a body pillow is cheaper. I'm just wondering what others are using.

I vote pregnancy pillow. I had a reg body pillow with #1 and it wasn't great but this time I have a pregnancy pillow and life is good!

I use a body pillow because I'm cheap as hell, but my one complaint is that when I have to turn over, I have to wake up, move the pillow to the other side, reposition myself, and then go back to sleep. It isn't a big issue, and I don't know if this is a problem with pregnancy pillows too, but hey, what did I want for ten bucks...

I used a regular pillow for a bit but woke up every day with back pain. I'm actually relatively small in the bump area as of right now but about 1.5 months ago I got a body pillow $20 investment and its been wonderful. I would have gotten a pregnancy pillow BUT it would be hard to fit in our bed and have DH be able to sleep comfortable too. My vote for now anyways, body pillow!

I got my Snoogle pregnancy body pillow on sale at Buy Buy Baby and I love it. Not sure if everyone knows, but you can use those fantastic 20% off coupons from Bed Bath & Beyond at BBBaby, too..

I also use a body pillow. Got it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I am cheap and this is my final pregnancy. Couldn't justify a pregnancy pillow. I works most of the time. On days when I need it, I sure don't mind waking up and moving everything so I can sleep on my other side!

This exactly.

I didn't have any luck with a body pillow, they were just too big and cumbersome... also, the snoogle did nothing for me, except tangle me up and tick off DH in the middle of the night because it's so huge (and we have a king bed)... I've been doing what you have, and sometimes add a 4th pillow under the hip thats on the bed, it seems to help. I'm still not super comfy, but thats just a joy of being pregnant!

Last pregnancy I started out with a body pillow, never used it, and then ended up getting a snoogle. That thing is amazing!

This is my first pregnancy, but I went for the snoogle and I love it!!

I recently bought a Boppy full body maternity pillow - I can see it being very helpful when I start getting bigger - and it's already helping my back pain. I recommend!

My amazing husband came home from work last week with a Chase pregnancy body pillow. I am not sure if you guys get the brand in the states but he found it in a little store (not a big box) and I LOVE it. I end up pushing it away lots of nights but it helps me from rolling onto my stomach. And my husband says that he would rather wake up and pick up the pillow than have to roll me over!
