Well, just curious, anyone purchasing a maternity pillow? If so, which brand are you going with? I bought just a normal body pillow and I am not too impressed with it.
my mom bought me the snoogle (or something like that) from babies R us. Personally I love it. I never had a regular body pillow but I started using this pillow a few weeks ago to train myself to sleep on my side and now I can't sleep without it!

I bought the Snoogle last week at Burlington for WAY cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else, and I am IN LOVE with it! I HIGHLY recommend it, it makes sleep so much more pleasant.

I have slept with a body pillow for 10+ years. When I started to get uncomfortable, my mom bought me the Snoogle. I like it so far (been using it for about a month now). It like cradles me, lol. My only complaint with it is that it is a very firm pillow, and firm pillows give me headaches. So I had to finagle it to where I can still sleep with my head on my regular pillow then I have that for my body pillow.
Anyone else find theirs is really firm, or am I just being a baby?

I want a body pillow so bad, but I'm afraid it will take up too much room and I'll wind up kicking FI off the bed lol. I use him already to put my leg up on when I face him so I figure a pillow of some type would be good on the other side of me, but Idunno...
I bought the Boppy body pillow and it worked great until this past week. Then I bought body pillow from Ikea to put on the other side and the combo works great. Overall it takes up less room in the bed than the Snoogle and I can move the body pillow to get in and out of bed easily.
My friend lent me the Boppy wedge and it was useless.
ETA: Just wanted to note that I'm measuring about 6 weeks ahead because I'm having twins. The Boppy worked by itself for a long time.

I have the snoogle and i am obsessed! Hubby is obsessed (he steals it a lot!) if i could carry that pillow around with me all day long i would! Its big but it is so great and supporting my back at night! Well worth the money you spend on it and i have a feeling that we will continue to use even post pregnancy!
