Pregnancy pillow

I’m 5+4 and already suffering with pain in my back, hips and feeling stretching in my muscles. Has anyone else started using a pillow yet or can recommend any good ones?

Is anyone using a pillow for their LO?

Been considering it for a while now but haven’t got one as it’s been so hot over summer.

If so, which one do you have or are they pretty much all the same?

I'm 13 weeks now, I'm using 2-3 pillows around me 😂 they're all good quality & I'm happy with them. Using one under my head/neck, hugging another +/- 1 more behind my back or to elongate the hug sometimes. I cannot substitute the main tempur head pillow as it's most comfortable for my neck issues so is it really worth removing the rest & trying a pregnancy pillow in addition to the head one or this arrangement should work the same?

Pregnancy Pillow Recommendations

Hey!!

Looking for pregnancy pillow recommendations and when do we need to start using them?
I am trying to be prepared, ideally don’t want to spend a fortune but want something decent and supportive.

Thanks in advance x

Pregnancy pillow…

Hiya.

I’ll be 8 weeks on Monday and I’m already considering a pregnancy cushion for comfort during sleep. I’ve already been tossing and turning so much at night and have a habit of ending up of my stomach. Last night I pulled a muscle in my neck and I’m now in agony probably for a few days and have a toddler to look after 😭 is it too early for a pregnancy pillow… would you consider it silly to get one now?
