Anyone use a snoogle or other pg pillow? Opinions please

lynn0926 · September 2012

I just wanted to see if anyone has used the snoogle or other pregnancy pillow and what your thoughts were. To buy or not to buy? I am only 14 weeks, but with twins, I am more like 18 weeks in measurement. I was measuring 4 weeks ahead last time. I am waking up every night with horrible hip and sholder pain. I just bought a normal large body pillow for now, but was thinking of a snoogle. Is it worth it? Any other suggestions out there. Moving to the recliner didn't help me last night either.

I would love the answer to this too. I am a back sleeper and sleeping on my side is killing me! My shoulders and neck are hurting. I've been looking in to buying a pillow, but I don't know which one is best.

Snoogle was a life saver to me. I am still using it after the baby. I don't know what I would have done without it after my c-section.

Pregnancy wise I am only slightly uncomfortable sleeping but I do have low back/hip problems and I LOVE my Snoogle!! It is so comfy and you can get it to fit right were you need it to! You will not regret bying one! Happy sleeping!

I love my Snoogle!

I love my snoogle too. I still have hip pain but the snoogle is the only way I can get comfortable at all in bed.

I never had any issues w sleep at all. I wonder if it's be we have a really good bed. I'm thinking that must help. We have a tempurpedic w a cooling layer, and i have been pain free the whole time.

I love my snoogle! Totally worth it!

I HIGHLY recommend the Snoogle. Because my belly was growing so fast, I found I needed the support early on. I think I got it around 15-16w. A couple of times per week, I still wake with shoulder and hip pain, but the Snoogle really supports my belly and back. I have to use the restroom every 1-2 hours anyway, so I just flip then. If you do get one, I would definitely get the jersey cover. The cover it comes with is not soft.

Ditto to all of this, except I think I got mine around 12w. I was eager for some relief Smile

The only complaint I have is that because I always have my head in the same spot it gets really flat and is kind of a pain to re-fluff (I never heard anyone else complain about this though, so maybe I just have a really heavy head). It was DH's nightly job to re-fluff my snoogle before I got into the bed until I came to the hospital. I am definitely missing it, but there is no way it would fit in my tiny hospital bed.

I was really looking forward to getting a snoogle early on and got one around 14-15 weeks, when I started to show. I must be the oddball b/c I hated it. I felt 'stuck' in bed with it. I couldn't flip from side to side easily. And the head part just wasn't comfortable at all. I ended up returning it after a few weeks. I'm now much happier using an additional king size pillow between my legs.

we have a tempurpedic too but noy with cooling. I think I might be having issues because I am such a stomache sleeper. So jealous that you have had no sleep issues

HappyIAm · September 2012

Get the snoogle!!! So worth every penny. I got it early in pregnancy and did not like it. Then I started getting really uncomfortable so I gave it another try. It's wonderful but does take a few nights to get use to. I would not trade mine for anything! I used a full body pillow for a while and got by. But there came a point where it just was not cutting it. I love the back support the snoogle gives me.

lynn0926 · September 2012

Thanks ladies! My BRU coupon starts Friday, so I will get it Friday. DH wants the body pillow I bought today. This should be fun! I hope my snoogle, body pillow, us, and our dog all fit in the king sized bed!

We have a king size tempurpedic also and I still can't get comfortable. I didn't buy a Snoogle and now at 27 weeks, I feel like it's too late.

I have a snoogle. But I am entirely too hot to use it. even if I am in the buff without any covers or sheets- if I put my leg on the snoogle- I get too hot. It's miserable.

So I use a pillow between my legs and one behind my back. I still get hot but not as hot.

I feel I wasted money buying it. Oh well. maybe I will use it in the winter

It's not too late! You will love it!

i could not justify the cost of a pregnancy one but just went to target and bought the $10 one and a pack of covers. it works wonderfully!!!! worth the price for sure!

angela2004 · September 2012

I do not. I just sleep with a pillow between my legs.it helps me a ton.

amethystgrrl · September 2012

Pillow between my legs has helped me a lot... though I'm still considering a pg pillow.

Mrs.AmyDylan · September 2012

I have a pillow between my legs and I did get a little boppy wedge pillow from Buy buy baby. It is a bit bigger than a dinner plate and fits under my bump. It is awesome!

mirgirl · September 2012

I love my snoogle! I bought it when I started this IVF treatment because I was so uncomfortable during all the shots- little did I know the discomfort only increases! It really is the best.

naybird · September 2012

I LOVE my snoogle!! I wouldn't have been able to sleep during my pregnancy without it! It was a pure lifesaver!! My sister bought it for me for Christmas and it is one of the best gifts I've ever recieved!!!! The doggies loved to cuddle up to it also!!!
