I've only had it two days but I think it's helping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-255145 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 17:40:50 +0000 petuniasandpearls 255145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Dreamweaver Snoozer and I love it. It's shaped in a J, and I sleep with that part between my knees instead of using it for my head. Sometimes I sleep with another pillow behind my back too. </p> <p>I've had a LOT of back pain and prenatal yoga has helped me a lot. I try to do a few stretches on the days that I don't go to the classes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-254948 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:47:54 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 254948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hadn't seen the full body boppy, thanks! I feel like it's such a big decision because it's so important! I know that sounds silly, but I know I need it so bad. I appreciate all of your advice and if anyone has tried a different pillow, let me know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-254198 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 08:00:57 +0000 JerricaBenton 254198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was having sciatica pain and once I got the full body boppy it literally vanished. I feel like it has just the right amount of bulk between your knees. When I've tried regular pillows in the past I thought they forced your knees apart too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-254034 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 00:50:28 +0000 X0X0X0 254034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had back problems before I got pregnant and it got really bad around 20 weeks. The only thing that made it bearable was using the the motherhood maternity support belt throughout the entire day <a href="http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=922000113&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=922000113&#038;MasterCategory_Id=MC32</a> and the<br /> total body pillow at night <a href="http://www.boppy.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/31" rel="nofollow">http://www.boppy.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/31</a><br /> On days when i needed extra relief, i used a rice filled heating pad on my back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-253990 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:41:55 +0000 Shimmer 253990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found great relief for my back pain by going to the chiropractor! I have a great doc and he has helped tremendously. I go once a week now but went more frequently when the pain was worse. </p> <p>I have a pregnancy pillow and the boppy wedge pillow that I could never sleep without! haha I barely sleep now but it gets me comfortable enough to rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-253977 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:24:30 +0000 matador84 253977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my snoogle because it helped my back early on and especially heartburn and reflux. I did get a massage last week and that helped a lot. Also, I had DH start rubbing my back by rolling a tennis ball and that has helped a TON. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-253974 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:22:07 +0000 MamaMoose 253974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh I'm 24.5 weeks and still have yet to find a total cure. I bought a snoogle. If I sleep without it my back hurts and if I sleep with it my hips hurt. The only thing that has really given me any relief was buying a feather bed mattress topper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/major-back-pain-pregnancy-pillow#post-253930 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:21:24 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 253930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 17 weeks and my back is killing me. I don't think it was in great shape before I got pregnant (soccer player), but it's extremely uncomfortable now. I think most of it is from sleeping. We have a great mattress and pillow and I've been sleeping with another pillow between my legs.</p> <p>I think the pillow is somehow causing a pinched nerve in my hip. It's only there in the morning and works itself out as the day goes on.</p> <p>But my back hurts all day including while I'm sleeping. It's my mid-back.</p> <p>I'm looking into pregnancy pillows, but I definitely think back support is the most important factor for me. If you have any advice on pillows or the back pain, please let me know!! </p>
