How helpful are body pillows in pregnancy?

Question

I just got a really comfy body pillow and I am 15 weeks (already having problems sleeping at night) how helpful is it going to be when I get further and further along?

I know they have pregnancy pillows too but will a body pillow do just as good or later on should I buy an actual pregnancy pillow?

Answer 1

I couldn't have gotten through my pregnancy without my body pillow, the further along you get the more helpful it will be.

Once you have your little one you won't want to give up your pillow I guarantee it.

Good luck and happy sleeping :)

Answer 2

I just use four because its cheaper and more comfortable for me. I am due in 3 weeks, and never had to second guess getting the PREGNANCY pillow.  

Answer 3

buy the snoogle. go to babiesrus.com and get it there..its AMAZING!!!! helped me in both of my pregnancies terrificly!

Answer 4

I used a regular body pillow throughout my pregnancy, and I LOVED it! I also just put it under my belly for support, and then between my knees.  

Answer 5

i'm 32weeks and am uncomfortable at night too.

so i use a pillow under my tummy, and my poor husband's leg between my knees. He must get sick of it, but it really helps me!
