    @cristykaye. What one do you have?
    yes please share!
  • I have the snoogle and I love it too! I don't think it helps with back pain in my opinion, but it definitely is comfy! :)
  • Yes please recommend some! Ive just been putting a pillow between my legs but I think its about time for me to stop sleeping on my stomach. Ive been tossing and turning all week and can't get comfortable anymore.

  • I have the Leachco Back N Body pillow. I'm obsessed with it. We do have a king bed so that helps because it's a big pillow. But I love it because I can switch sides without having to readjust the pillow. It helps my hips and back a lot. And when DH and I want to snuggle or spoon, he just flips up one side of the pillow and scoots over to me!

    @lizardbreath14
    Oh maybe I will get this one. We have a king too so well might have room. Right now I use my body pillow but the cats think they have something soft to sleep on now. Lol. My hips and back have been pretty sore.

  • I have the Snoogle and used it once or twice. I wasn't crazy about it but may try again since I'm getting bigger and more in comfortable at night.

  • Borrowing a friends snoogle. Its enormous and takes up lots of room on the bed. Kind of isolates me from hubby but its quite comfy.
  • I LOVE my bumpnest pillow

  • I really like my Snoogle, but I will say that I find it difficult to get settled with. Very comfortable once I get all snuggled in, but awkward for the first minute or two. Maybe it would be that way with any PG pillow, idk.  Somewhere around my fifth trip to the bathroom at night, I scrap the snoogle and just grab my regular pillow for the duration of the night.
  • I have this one. I toss and turn a lot so it keeps me stable! I think Coolmaxx is the brand and you can find them on Amazon.

    I want a body pillow!!! But does anyone recommend one specifically for lower back pain???
    Edit: misspelling
  • Maybe I'll try the leachco back and body pillow. The hassle of switching sides with the snoogle mini is starting to get to me already!
  • I love mine! It's a snoozer--good for smaller beds (we have a queen): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000067UY7/ref=oh_details_o06_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I don't like my snoogle very much. I'm just using a regular pillow.

    This. Snoogle is too bulky.

    As my body grows, so does my love for the snoogle.  Didn't really like it at first, but definitely more cozy now.  

    I agree. I have the preggle pillow (babies r us) and I'm finding I'm liking it more as I'm growing.

  • Oh, I also prop one regular pillow behind me and that has been helping with my back pain. But I am finding it harder to initially get comfortable (not just to sleep, even just lounging on the couch) but once I do... I'm out.
  • I LOVE my Boppy, and sleep with it every night. Def helps with my lower back. When I get up in the morning, dh uses it and always comments that it's so comfy and he wants one too! So worth it for a comfy sleep, highly recommended!
  • Oh that is a great idea. I just looked some up and they do look very comfortable. How do yours do with heat? I guess I have been using my husband as my pregnancy pillow recently but when it is to hot in our room I sleep in the recliner. 
  • I got the snoggle mini because I'm pretty short (5'1) and so far it works pretty good. I've read that the regular size is too big if you are short and I think that would be true for me.
  • first time around I started using the snoogle around 25 weeks..so worth it to me. A regular body pillow didn't cut it. I had some hip and lower back pain with my hips being stacked unevenly when I slept on my side.

    Downfall..it's huge and like a third person in bed with me and DH

    I haven't whipped it out just yet for that reason

    I have the Sealy Sweet Pea 2-in-1. It's pretty much God's gift. Seriously- I accidentally left it in a hotel we were staying at this weekend and drove back on Monday morning to get it. It's firm and it works for laying around as well as sleeping and it isn't gigantic so it doesn't get in the way of my husband's sleep either. It has helped my back and hip pain so much and it's a 1000x more comfortable to sleep now.

    Edited for mild stupidity...
  • I've just been using a long pillow, it's thick and is about 4 feet long. I've been sleeping better since I've started using it.
  • So I just went and bought the pregnancy pillow,  Leachco Back N' Belly Chic Body Pillow $99. on sale for $94.00.  I had a 30% and 2 Kohls cash coupons for $20/each. saved 56.50!!!!

    So without tax the pillow came to 38.49  then 15 for tax/shipping.   So cool!!! 

    I wish I knew before i sent I would have bought something for 15 so I could get free shipping. LOL

  • I use my breast feeding pillow left over from DS and find it does the trick. I have a new one on order for this baby so I don't mind tossing the old one between my legs and under the belly and boobs for some comfort. I tried a larger one but found it too big and bulky for our queen size bed.

  • I'm probably going to need to get another one eventually, but for now I love my Babies R Us Pregnancy pillow and wedge.

    @cristykaye. What one do you have?
    I dunno how to spell it bc really I'm to lazy to get up and look but it's the leachco. It's not the U shaped but the full body C shaped one
