Hello Beautiful Ladies,
I am 9 weeks pregnant, will be first time mom and in my early 30s. It's strange, but I have started having back ache so early in pregnancy. I think it is probably because of the mattress I am using, which is 8" thick and a bit old now that it has become super soft.
So, I am looking to buy a new mattress for myself. What do you recommend that will be feasible in longer run with pregnancy and after delivery as well? Not planning to spend a huge amount of money.

We ended up finally getting a sleep number right after I got pregnant after lusting over it for years. It’s a big investment but it’s so worth it. What sold us is that it doesn’t have to be replaced every few years. During pregnancy is great because you can change your number according to the pains you’re having like if you have hip or shoulder pain you move it one way or back pain you move it the other way. It was also nice for when we started cosleeping i could move my number up so it was a more firm surface to make it safer for her to sleep on

My first pregnancy, I slept on a crappy spring mattress with two sunken in spots from where we’d been sleeping for so long so we finally got a Seally mattress. We spent more than we wanted to but wayyyyy less than most high end mattresses and it’s a great mattress. I think it was around $1,300 but I love it! If you can find a place that finances, maybe go lay on a few and try that? Ours has a 10 year warranty so if it even bends weird, we can exchange it. I’d definitely get something you’ll be comfortable on, it’s difficult to sleep well as it is in pregnancy/postpartum

Thank you ladies 💕
