Did anyone else have an anterior placenta and now their baby needs to sleep with a comforter covering their face?

Pregnancy pillow

Hi ladies! Can anyone recommend a good pillow?? I am 12 weeks and have been sleeping on my side for a few weeks but it's really not comfortable for me! When did you start using the pillow? Thanks!

I’m only 10weeks so don’t want to go all in but i also really really want to start getting some bits, looking at pregnancy pillows and bump bars etc. What did you guys buy first and did you go shopping or order online?!

Pregnancy pillows

Does anyone have a recommendation of a pregnancy pillow they’ve used previously that they absolutely loved?

I had one in my last pregnancy but gave it away and they don’t seem to make that kind anymore!

Thanks!

Nursing pillow

Can you recommend a nursing pillow, there’s too many to choose from 🥲

Pregnancy pillows

Hello, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow? It’s one to lie back on when I’m in bed. I’m so sick of all the big pillows I have in bed that take ages to set up and are not comfy x

Pregnancy pillows

What pregnancy pillows is everyone using? I hated the big u shaped pillows when I was pregnant with my first. I’m now 24 weeks with my second and I can’t sleep at all due to how uncomfortable I am so I think it’s time to buy a pillow 😅does anyone have any good recommendations??

Recommendations for any pregnancy support pillows?

I’ve been getting really bad upper back pain and stiffness during night and early morning which improves with movement. Anyone recommend any particular brands for good pregnancy support pillows at bedtime? I’ve also self-referred to physio but not sure on how long that will take x

Mostly a rant

I’m still super early in my pregnancy, about 7 weeks (tomorrow lol) but I’ve already gotten a body pillow to get myself in the habit of sleeping on my side and sleeping with part of it between my thighs.
My husband will not stop complaining about how much space it takes up on the bed. It’s literally one of the ones that is basically just a long standard pillow.
Idk what he thinks is going to happen, especially the farther along I get. Like what is he going to say when I’m huge in the third trimester??

Maternity pillows

Has anyone started using a maternity pillow yet? If so, which ones? I hated the pillow that I had for my first pregnancy, it was long and made me so hot😅 so wanting to find one that's more comfortable

Bub maternity pillow

Hey mums and mums to be!
I am struggling to choose butterfly pillow. Does it make a big difference buying with actual brands or from Amazon? I am not satisfied with those in Amazon, none of them has a great review. Thickness and quality is the worry. Has anyone bought bub maternity butterfly pillow and happy? Or any other legit brands?

Thanks ❤️

Are pregnancy pillows actually useful?

Hello all,

I am pregnant with my first baby due in January and just wondering whether I should get a pregnancy pillow?

Do they actually help or make you sleep better?

Can you just use regular pillows and get the same result?

I've seen videos of mums saying they're pointless and just using normal pillows instead, even for breastfeeding.

The ladies who have tried pregnancy pillows, please let me know!

And if they really are useful, which shape or style is the best?

Thank you!

Babybub pregnancy pillow

Anyone try Babybub and are they as good as the ads say?

Pregnancy pillow

Anyone 28-30 weeks and can’t sleep comfortably with their pregnancy pillow now?? I literally have to go without it tonight because I can’t get comfortable with it🤣🤣

Pregnancy pillow

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and starting to show a little bit now with a bump. I’ve realised I keep waking up on my back and I’m getting concerned. I’m looking at buying a pregnancy pillow but I don’t want a massive one.
Just curious what brands other people have bought or recommend

Pregnancy Pillow (UK based)

Hi, so I am 13+5 and I think over the next couple of weeks I need to get a pregnancy pillow. I have a lot of joint pain due to being hypermobile and haven't slept well at all since week 2 (major tiredness, but unable to fall asleep!). Just looking for some recommendations of full length body support pillows for bed (and sofa) and where people got them?

Thank you 😊

Breastfeeding pillow recommendations

Hi has anyone got a breastfeeding pillow recommendation? I have the one from momcozy but I find it is too bulky. Thanks !

PREGNANCY PILLOW

Idk who needs to hear this but GET THE PREGNANCY PILLOW! I didn’t get it with my first pregnancy but I just got it for this pregnancy yesterday and it’s already made a difference. For me at least haha

Pregnancy pillows?

(Only 5 weeks so lots of time to decide) What are your favourite shapes for pregnancy pillows? Bonus if it can double as a nursing pillow once baby is here.

Second time mum and I hardly bought anything for myself last pregnancy - I was a bit in denial to begin with and also a student without much money 😅 but by the time I needed things like maternity clothes and a pregnancy pillow, it didn’t feel worth it with only a few months left. Not making that mistake this time!

Air conditioning/cooler recommendations.

Hey ladies. I am at the end of my tether and really cannot cope with this heat anymore 🥺 I am someone who has never been able to deal with heat anyway but being 24 weeks pregnant during it is another ballgame. I am very anxious that there is a long way until the end of summer, have any of you found a portable air con/cooler that actually works??
