Semi Intro and Question

lauralewlauralew member
in Pregnant after a Loss
So way back when I used to be super active on TTCAL and then later PgAL.  After my babies were born I stopped getting on the bump.  Mobile sucked and using a lap top was pretty much impossible.  I am 20w pregnant with a singleton.  My a/s is on Friday.  I gave up Facebook for Lent, so I have none of my parenting group connections right now. 

So here's my question... I need maternity pillow recs.  I am not a fan of the Snoogle because I am weird about the pillow(s) that go under my head...so I guess anything that's like that is out.  I used a Boppy Cuddle Pillow while pg with the twins, but it's worn out.  I bought a new one and it is too fluffy.  It doesn't support at all.  I was thinking about getting a wedge one...  Thoughts??

    Congrats and welcome! I have no advice on the pillow, as I use the snoogle.

    The snoogle was awful for me.  I felt like I was wrestling with an alligator all night!  I liked wedge style pillows much better, or just a regular body pillow.

    I bought the boppy wedge pillow.  Love it!  Just using  a regular pillow between my knees.

    Congratulations!  I have the Bobby wedge and I really like it.  I still find that sometimes I use multiple pillows (between my legs or to hold on to) but I like the way the wedge makes my bump feel.
