do any of you experienced moms have a recommendation for a good pregnancy pillow? I'm already starting to have trouble sleeping due to hip pain and belly discomfort. Last time around, I went with a cheap body pillow and it didn't cut it for me. This time I want to get a real pregnancy pillow but don't know which ones are good and they seem like a pricey investment. Appreciate your thoughts.
Ive heard good things about the snoggle I have the boppy pillow one that comes in three parts I wouldn't really recommend it . I find the Velcro annoying when I don't use one of the parts...
i LOVE my snoogle! i bought it on amazon (link below). the cover comes off for easy washing. dh wishes he had one!
They are an absolute bitch to get into the pillowcase. I tried one night while DH was out and did it wrong. I proceeded to cry for about 15 minutes because I was way too tired to do it again correctly. It's been sitting on my bedroom floor since.
Thanks guys! Great suggestions! It looks like snoogle makes a mini version. I'm going to give that a try because I'm really short and feel like I might be less likely to feel lost in it.
I hated my snoogle. It was impossible for me to roll over comfortably and resettle it esp in 3rd tri. I loved the Boppy Cuddle pillow and the Boppy wedge. I use both with a few floppy regular pillows tucked around me in the end. The wedge doesn't look like much but has helped so much during each pregnancy when my belly got huge.
Bonus: the cuddle pillow makes a great nursing pillow.
Another vote for the snoogle. It was awesome. I'm normally a stomach sleeper so it was really hard to try and sleep on my side. The snoogle really helped. It is huge and hard to flip from side to side, I just always kept it on one side of the bed. As for a case, I took two body pillow cases and put one on the top, one on the bottom and pulled them together to meet in the middle. I didn't want to buy an extra cover so this worked pretty well.

I used the Snoogle my last pregnancy and it was amazing. Before that I had a good five pillows trying to form some kind of in-bed recliner for myself. I am a stomach sleeper, as well, so I was straight up miserable until I discovered the Snoogle- highly recommend!

2 body pillows one on each side so I could just roll from side to side

Same here. I would try a king sized pillow first and then buy a more expensive pillow.
