When did you start using a pregnancy pillow?

When my husband got it for me at 7 or so weeks! I definitely didn't actually need it yet, not even sure I need it now at 15 weeks, but it's so comfy I wanted to use it right away!

I never bought one, I'm doing fine without one so far! I feel like I don't have room in our bed for one between me, DH, and our 2 dogs!

I used one when I was about 20 plus weeks along? It was huge and took up half the bed. Forunately, DH sleeps with a body pillow too so we shared my pregnancy pillow. LOL!!

about 15 weeks, although I find most nights it ends up on the floor!

Maybe around 3 months? I was a back sleeper, so I needed it to help keep me on my side. I used it for at least 6 weeks post partum too, I kinda miss it,, ha!

Pretty early on. I got the one that goes alllllll the way around in a complete U shape and it was so nice to be able to put my weight back or forward and be totally supported. Even now I miss it and regret throwing it out!

37 weeks now and have never used one...I think regular pillows in the right places work just fine

I have this Boppy wedge and love it! I bought it late into my first pregnancy and wished I'd bought it sooner. Sometimes I use it under my bump, other times if I want to sleep on my back. I use it under one hip to tilt towards one side (my OB said I just need to be 10 degrees from horizontal).

16 weeks I think? But I could have used it before. I started getting hip pain really early, like 11 weeks.

I started using a big stuffed animal between my legs around 16 weeks, maybe? Then a body pillow around 24 weeks. Then a friend bought me a small pregnancy pillow around 26 weeks, so now I use a body pillow on one side and a pregnancy pillow on the other! So comfy!

Second tri or so of my first pregnancy. Once i started using one, I've been using it ever since. The ache in my hips comes back if I don't (and my chiropractor says it's really bad for your back to not have knee support)

I pulled mine out this weekend at 14 weeks. Definitely sleeping better. I have the Today's mom one.

I already use a body pillow and I added this small wedge under the belly probably towards mid-end of 2nd trimester?
