I was so used to it, it was hard to give up, but we have a king bed so space was not an issue.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985782 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:22:48 +0000 cat620 1985782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used mine toward the end of my pregnancy, but not regularly. I thought it took up a lot of space, and sometimes it made me feel too hot. I would start out the night with it, and then throw it on the floor a few hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985771 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:18:42 +0000 charmed 1985771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using a Bump Nest since before 20 weeks. I love it, wouldn't know what to do without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985596 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:35:13 +0000 PawPrints 1985596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had one but I'm not interested in spending that much money on something with such a limited use. I'm using regular pillows now, and just ordered a cheap wedge pillow that I'll stick under my bump. I think that should work out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985583 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:24:28 +0000 MapleMoose 1985583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first pregnancy I couldn't sleep without a pregnancy pillow. I started using a Snoogle in the second trimester. With this pregnancy I am 31 days away from my due date and have yet to use the Snoogle. Although the past few nights my hips have been hurting enough that I may start using it again. We have a King size bed so I don't have to worry about taking up too much space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985574 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:15:57 +0000 turquoisemama 1985574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got one based on the cost and not knowing what I would do with it after. I would say yes if you can borrow one or get it cheap, but I got through just fine with just a regular pillow between my legs. I'm 36.5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1/page/2#post-1985569 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:13:07 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1985569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Borrowed a boppy body pillow from a friend who didn't use it and I LOVED it. I have terrible hips and the pregnancy didn't make them any better, so the pillow between the legs really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985561 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:04:41 +0000 snowjewelz 1985561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already had a body pillow and when I tried to add the snuggle that someone lent me, it was just too many things to maneuver. I was given a pregnancy wedge instead and used it every night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985528 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:37:10 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1985528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't use one for my first because I didn't need it. With this one I had bad hip pain and having the pregnancy pillow between my legs and supporting my back has helped tremendously with the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985476 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:01:59 +0000 Eko 1985476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up buying just a body pillow at Target, they are a lot cheaper! So far it takes up a lot of space on the bed, but when I need it, it's nice to have! I was just using a regular pillow for a while to make sure it's what was going to actually make me comfortable. I don't know if I would spend money on the larger ones. I also don't have a big enough bed to do so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985403 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:14:19 +0000 Mama Bird 1985403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried sleeping with one, usually ended up kicking it across the bed or all the way to the floor. Then I decided I'm better off uncomfortable without the pillow, instead of uncomfortable and getting crowded by a pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985339 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:38:07 +0000 Anya 1985339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>check out the preggle, I really like mine and it doesn't take up as much space in the bed. I believe there is also a mini-snoogle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985329 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:34:28 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1985329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use my body pillow at 13m PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985320 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:28:23 +0000 autumnleaves 1985320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Snoogle looked very tempting but I knew it would take too much space in the bed and honestly I don't think it would have made me sleep any more than I did. My lack of sleep in the third trimester had more to do with having to pee all the time than not being comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985289 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:08:57 +0000 Honeygold89 1985289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a body pillow and loved it it was the only way I co get some what comfortable enough to sleeping couldn't sleep without it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985281 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:06:20 +0000 lilyofthewest 1985281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a memory foam U-shaped on super early in pregnancy. I initially got one because my breasts were super sore and swollen early on and I get waking myself up by pinching them in various ways moving around in my sleep. Now that I have more of a belly it is helping a lot with getting and staying comfortable on my side without flopping too far on my back or forward and squishing the bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985277 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:04:52 +0000 getjazzy 1985277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used 3 normal ones. I was already using 2 pre-pregnancy (one for my head and one between my knees) and the. When I got pregnant I added a 3rd to "hug" or rest my arm on to stop myself from rolling forward haha. I never was able to stop using it after baby. Now I'm expecting again so I have a proper excuse again. </p> <p>I have heard that snoogles are amazing though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985275 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:02:12 +0000 psw27 1985275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used a regular pillow in between my legs and sometimes under the belly if I felt the need. Sometimes I wedged it under my back so I wasn't sleeping flat on my back. Between myself, DH and the dog, there was no room for a snoogle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985252 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:54:25 +0000 MrsKoala 1985252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept with a regular pillow between my legs at the beginning of the third trimester but then got rid of it after I started going to the chiropractor. I think the pregnancy pillow is a waste of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985249 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:51:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1985249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never bought one last pregnancy. Maybe I'll buy a snoogle? Probably not and make do with our gazillion pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985248 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:51:07 +0000 lemondrop 1985248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 20 weeks it became an absolute necessity due to round ligament pain. A $10 Target body pillow worked just fine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985247 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:50:14 +0000 NavyRN2012 1985247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one, but REALLY wish I did! I could definitely use the extra support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985246 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:49:44 +0000 HappyBaker 1985246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have one with my first pregnancy, but really needed something in my second pregnancy. I ended up borrowing one from a friend since it seemed silly to buy one if this is our last baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985242 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:49:15 +0000 Chocoholic 1985242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved my snoogle during my first pregnancy!

I plan to use regular pillows if necessary since only 12 weeks or do to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985211 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:35:15 +0000 youboots 1985211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 28 weeks and so far a king size pillow and a memory foam topper have been great, I don't expect to get a pillow.... One more thing to take up room/spend $$ on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay-1#post-1985201 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:29:16 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1985201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy I didn't need one...I just snuggled with a regular pillow. This time I have been a lot less comfortable...I use a body pillow down the middle of the bed with my back toward it, hold a regular pillow, and I just recently bought a wedge to go under the bump. I am still not super comfortable though...but I don't know that a pregnancy pillow would really help. If I wasn't so far along right now I would be willing to try, but for 8 more weeks I think I will just stick it out. </p>
