Re: Product Spotlight: Pillows/Sleep Gear
I used to be a stomach sleeper but it hurts my back now. I am pretty restless and I find it difficult to get comfortable even when I’m not pregnant. So having the pillow was huge because I could kinda prop myself sideways.
Edited to add more info!
ETA: haven’t really changed many habits yet. MAYBE dealing with some pregnancy insomnia, but it was just a handful of nights the other week. I’m wiped by the end of the day, but I generally go to bed early anyway cos my 16 mo wakes up at 5:30. 🙃
I’m pretty excited to get mine out. I’m a side and back sleeper. I’m still comfy on my back for now but I will break out the snoogle in a couple of weeks!

I just ordered this pillow from amazon and I LOVE it!! The pillow and the Unisom is making a huge difference in my sleep. I feel so much more symptomatic early this time around!

I am 8 weeks and a solid back sleeper, first pregnancy. I can't sleep any other way. I have been trying to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees to get used to it and I am waking up constantly.
Have any back sleepers found the Snoogle helpful? Any advice would be great.
