I’ve already broken out my Snoogle this time around but I’m interested in getting one with a little more back support.

I used the C-shaped snoogle last time and am breaking it out again... maybe tonight! I do find I need a bit firmer neck support so I pair it with an extra pillow for my head.

I have heard that many mamas swear by the pregnancy wedge for their bump instead and just use their regular pillow for their head. I find I need the support between my knees for my hips, which I get from the snoogle.

Last time I tried the c-shaped pillow and it was just too much for me, especially when you gotta get up and pee a few times throughout the night. I ended up just using a regular pillow between the knees and I recently bought a $10 target body pillow that I love and plan on using.

I have a snoogle and it got the job done, although I’m sure there are better ones out there. DH hated it, but we had a queen bed last time versus a king this time. However, we also have a 4 year old who ends up in our bed most nights so I still don’t think the snoogle will get a warm reception when I break it out haha.

@bows22 lol my 7 year old climbs into my bed every night and I’ve already told everyone the snoogle is off limits to everyone else but me so her and DH have to squash on the other side of the bed.

Does anyone have any other pregnancy pillow recommendations? I hated whatever hand me down I had last time, but to be fair I am a VERY picky sleeper. I am strictly a stomach sleeper and basically if I’m forced to sleep in any other position I can’t sleep or I sleep terribly. With my first, I slept horribly my second trimester on. I had a hand me down pillow that was one of those like half circles almost?

Looking for any pillows that anyone loved that didn’t totally break the bank.

@ausfam24 You might like just a simple pregnancy wedge for under the bump and two regular pillows, one for neck and one for between the knees. I find I need something between the knees or my hips et sore sore, especially later in pregnancy. I'm a back and sometimes side sleeper and hate only being able to be a side sleeper second trimester onward. I use that C-shaped pillow but there are adjustments I wish I could make to it to make it perfect, especially better neck support
