My Blog
sorry I asked this question for someone who had actually used one before and to see if it was worth the money or just a waste.
I love this post lol
Don't waste your money. If back issues are what you are worried about or have, just use a regular pillow between your knees. I love to sleep on my side, and somehow it makes me wake up with back pain, but the pillow does help and gets rid of all pain. I know there are a bunch of technical and medical terms to go along with this post...but i'm too lazy to go look them up...
lol the "snoogle"??? did you buy it in a store or did you have to do it online???
::lurker::
You REALLY need to read a book or two on pregnancy. Oh and start a blog...these boards aren't meant to be your personal blog...

***All AL always welcome***
I too bought the snoogle and i got it from Toys R US.
It is pretty cool but being that I am a stomach sleeper it hasnt truly helped with my sleeping issues but I am sure that as i get larger and cannot sleep that way anymore then it will be great. They are cool to wrap around you while you chill out and watch TV.
I do have some books..but they don't have anybody's opinion on their pregnancy pillow. if you don't like my posts don't read them
This! And tone done the punctuation. One question mark or exclamation mark normally get the point across.
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have
hm I'll have to stop in at Toys R Us soon then
yeah I'm sort of a stomach sleeper too lol

This is a tough thing to do when they take up more than 1/2 the page. I'm not even on this board but your incessant posting is the talk of the town....

Not sure where a question about a pregnancy pillow deserves negativity. If you have one let her know about it, if you think it is a waste I am sure she would welcome that opinion too! Also I dont think her question resembled anything of a personal blog.....
It's not this post per-se, but it's the 55 others in the past few days, all of them with excessive?!?!?!? punctuation and offering no support, just being a post-whore and an annoying one at that. AND, she's been through this whole journey before, not that long ago.

^^^^THIS!! lol thank you!!! if I wanted to post something I'd put on my blog i'd let you all know I just had an early supper
Do you read people's responses or just post? I'm going to go with the latter given your persistence in doing the same damn thing over and over again...

Guess I missed all this! I was trying to be nice and help her out a little for this is the only post of hers that I have caught. Guess I overlooked a LOT?
It's not this one question ... It's the 16 other posts she's made, and many people have mentioned and/or alluded to the fact that it's gotten old.
EDT: Pregnancy is obviously making me forget my words ... Or maybe I've just been on this board too much today and my IQ is dropping.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

They're meant to help support your belly when you get big and to help with hip an lower back pain, also caused by being bigger in late pregnancy. Any sleeping problems you're having now are due to hormonal changes, and a pillow won't fix that. Take a unisom.
For later in pregnancy, a ten dollar body pillow will work just as we'll as those insane 'pregnancy' pillow ripoffs. Seriously, don't rush into it. Your husband will hate you.
I checked the post history.....lol yup I missed lots! Oh well some people have lots of time and others dont... some people have lots to say that others wont...I just laugh an move on when I can. Hope my chivalry didnt piss anyone off. Putting my white horse back in the stall!
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have
Hey I said I already put my horse up don't make me take off my armor too!!! IT ISN'T FAIR!!!
HAHAHA thanks for posting this OP. It made me laugh. FYI guys: If you don't like all the posting, go somewhere else. There isn't a rule about posting a bunch of things, and from the posts I've seen, they've all been good, or rather: The same thing other posters post every now and then. So get over it.
would it be a waste if i got a body pillow and am only almost to 11w? i dont have anyone to cuddle with at night so that wont be a problem, but im having horrible problems with my hips/back at night.
(also would like to point out that there seems to be alot of negative feed back, that could be put into nicer words on this thread! Dont know if its all the pregnant hormones or what, but im sure half of you wouldnt appreciate it if someone were to respond to your questions like this)
haha maybe THAT's why I want a pregnancy pillow! lol my husband works 3rd shift so I have no one to cuddle with
lol if you're having problems with your hip and back right now I'd go ahead and get one. I"ll probably get one after the holiday season is over with..when i'm farther along. right now I'm not having problems getting comfortable..
LOL why can't we all just be NICE?!
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
No way! You are the first person to EVER point this out!
And no, I do not blame my irritation for idiocy on pregnancy hormones. When you have been around for longer than 3 days you will understand why people think OP is being ridiculous.
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have
^^ Snooze ... Look, another white night!
I would never ask so many questions though, that's the difference. And I don't even have a living child. I can assure you it's not pregnancy hormones, it's the fact that I nicely explained to the original poster how she was coming across, yet it continues.

Pppppffffffttttt I was a night in shinning armor!!! I am just not one to gripe at others. Shame on me!!!
Believe me, I'm not one to gripe at others either ... It has just seriously gotten out of control with the original poster, as witnessed by many, many others.
I'm glad that she's liked and supported, as a previous poster said. But until today, she had only responded to literally three posts that were not hers. So the argument that she is "supportive" really doesn't hold weight with me, which is one of the reasons that her 16 posts in a week really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not here to bash her, seriously. Again, I nicely told her earlier how she was coming across here, and I'll leave it at that. Anyway, I don't even know why I've allowed it all to get under my skin, and from now on will simply roll my eyes at her like I should have kept doing. I've got real issues to worry about, instead of someone who for some reason needs a lot of coddling on the internet.

I bought the Preggle pillow. I like the size of it. I'm only 11 weeks 2 days, but I have a bad back and I think it's going to come in handy for the long haul.
Lol! My Snoogle got here yesterday! My sister told me not to waste the money and throw a pillow between my knees. Haha. But I've been sleeping with a pillow "thrown between my knees" for 5 weeks, and I promise you, I slept 10000X better in the one night with my snoogle than any night before! It's worth the money in my well rested opinion. :
well from what it sounds like everyone is happy with their pillow
looks like I'll be getting one! thanks for the input!! i hope it helps me sleep once my insomnia starts improving! lol
I've had more time the past two days on the computer since my husband is on vacation so he's been doing things with my son...and I haven't been feeling good so really didn't have anything better to do than go on the computer lol (since I can't seem to ever sleep) sorry you let me under your skin lol
