Has anyone tried a maternity pillow?

Question

If so, what kind did you use, and are they worth the money??? I'm thinking about buying one but there are just so many!

Answer 1

I never tried one of the actual maternity pillows. I'm 28 1/2 weeks with my 2nd and I use a regular body pillow every single night! Some of the maternity pillows look really awkward to me. The body pillows are super comfy and work great. I don't know what I'd do without it!

Answer 2

I actually just bought a huge body pillow at target for ten bucks and its saving my life lol. But I have heard maternity pillows are awesome to and help your back.

Answer 3

i bought the one made by Boppy it doesnt work for me i just sleep with 4 pillows and i feel fine...i move to much to use that big body pillow

Answer 4

I really really had my heart set on the Boppy mom's pillow, but when I was at Sam's Club I saw just a regular body pillow for $9 and got it (since the Boppy maternity pillow is $50)... I don't use it all the time (I'm only 9 weeks along), but it's good to wrap your arms around and cushion between your knees with to support your back.

Hope this helped out. :)

Answer 5

I have two.  The straight long one and the other curved one.  I don't use the straight one too often, but I love the curved one.  I use it between my knees and then to kind of ... lean on.  Does that make sense?  But yes.. Love the curved one, could do without the long one.

Oh and I also use about 4 or 5 pillows under my upper back and head.
