Hi, not sure if this has been asked before but, has anyone tried using those maternity/pregnancy pillows for sleeping like the Snoozer or Snoogle pillows? If so, do they work, are they worth it? I read reviews but they are sort of mixed and I need to try something already to help me sleep and I`m only at 11 weeks, let alone with a big bump coming soon... I already do yoga, stretch lots, and try other methods to help me relax. Help?

NorthDay - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I find mine very comfortable. The only issue I have is that because I get sore after sleeping on one side I need to turn to the other side. When you have the pillow wrapped around you and between your legs it can be quite the effort to turn over. Also, it takes up a lot of room. I usually only use mine when my bf is working nights. There just isn't room for the 3 of us! lol

lilmissred - 107 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) These pillows are to die for.. well not really, but they are great.. course IMO, u could use just regular king size pillow for the same results, thats what I do, those freakin maternity pillows can be pricey :o)

Sleeping was the most difficult for me during the entire first trimester, and even now, I sometimes find it difficult to sleep, not because of a big belly, either. I really don't know a cure for the sleep challenge. I've read that it is hormone-related. I have also read in multiple articles that the main thing is to get some sleep no matter when it is. Therefore, if you can't sleep at night, sleep when you can.

Baby3OnWay - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have a really big body pillow and my brothers girlfriend had a C shaped maternity pillow... not sure of the name but it was so comfy!! she let me try it out for a few nights, BUT I find the BIG LONG body pillow works wonders for proping my belly, sticking between my legs, laying by entire body on it... anyposition i get into with a body pillow does wonders for me. I suugest getting one!

Mommyof2boys - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes, I found mine at a gently used baby retail shop and made a cover for it I love it because I can position my body on it and it makes sleeping on my side a lot better.

kaylasmommy - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) the pillows are so worth buying i have had mine since i was week 23 and im now at 39 weeks i use it every day. xoxo

femi - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i got one today and just two minutes on it made feel so good! it gives you nice support. we'll see what happens tonight! plus, later, it'll double as support for breastfeeding so i don't have to get a boppy pillow to hold baby.

wildberry - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) my mom had one with her last baby 11 years ago she said that it didnt help i have never bought a pregnancy pillow but i did get a body pillow and i loved that

brandi j. - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I haven't ever tried these personally, but have been told they work very well! The way I see it is it depends on how uncomfortable you are! Some women cannot get comfortable no matter what methods they try. I suggest you trying some extra pillows that you have lying around your home first, and if this helps, then invest in the big pregnancy body pillow. I say this, b/c they are quite expensive, and if it doesn't work then you are out that much money! Good luck to you, I hope you are sleeping better very soon!

MelissaJoanne - 108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't have a great answer for you, but I'm glad you asked - I've been wondering too. I also do yoga/stretching/relaxation, but recently have had awful hip pain while sleeping. My only solution so far was to pile up my side of the bed with 3 down comforters and loads of pillows. It works, but my husband doesn't like nearly falling off of his little side of the bed! I've found really mixed reviews on the maternity pillows too, and didn't want to spend the money if they don't work.
