Pregnancy Pillow
Can any of you ladies recommend a good pregnancy pillow? I’m super bloated and so uncomfortable when I sleep already. There are so many out there and I don’t know which one is the best investment. Thanks in advance.

I got a snoogle. It’s sort of a wonky hooked c shape. I liked that I could bend it a thousand ways and was afraid that the big u-shaped ones would take over the bed, make me hot, be hard to get in and out of, etc.
At times I think I would have liked the additional support, but I just wind up throwing an extra regular pillow against me on the open side.
It felt way overstuffed when I got it, but it’s settled since. Now I find the head and neck side just about perfect, but it has gotten a little more smooshed than I’d like where I pull it between my legs.

I recently posed this question to a parenting group and got an overwhelming love for the Snoogle.
Moms said they’ve used them well beyond pregnancy and even for baby.
I bought a knock off version Zen Bamboo or something, it was like $40 and it’s just okay.
The stuffing flattened and lumped up after one use, and honestly my three pillow set up was way more comfortable so I haven’t used it since.

I need something too... maybe I'll start searching online, I'm a side sleeper and those C pillows sound amazing ?

I love my snoogle. I’m a belly and back sleeper. Currently 17 weeks. But I started using it at 12 weeks because I wanted to break my habit and start side sleeping. I only used it on those bloated night days the first few weeks. Although this week I’ve been wanting it more. Belly is starting to be consistently out ?

I ended up getting the babies r us brand one because I liked the way it curved vs the snoogle and also because it had a removable cover I could wash. The snoogle they had did not have a cover and they apparently didn’t carry any. I brought it home and sleep the last 10 hours. And move, now I’m wide awake at 2am.

Glad you liked what you got!
Just for anyone that searches out this thread in the future... I thought the same things about the cover, but my snoogle did come with a white slip cover on it once I opened it up. I wanted another layer of protection, though... like you put your regular pillow into the white protector case and a pillow case.
Checked amazon and extra covers were more than I wanted to spend. I ended up taking old flat sheets from my closet that we didn’t use anymore and making my own cases. I used the slip cover that came on it as a pattern... it took a couple hours to sort out, mainly because of the size, but it worked really well.

The snoogle is amazing. I kept telling my husband he was no longer needed ?. I LOVED that thing.

Hah! I straight up kicked my husband out of the bedroom. He’s been in the guest room for months. ?

I got a u-shaped pillow and it’s quite rubbish. Takes up way too much space, I overheat and it’s not really supportive at all. I find it to be quite flat and the part under my head is just uncomfortable. Overall huge waste of cash.
I use about 3 pillows and just move them where I need them and it’s so much better!
Rather get one that seems overstuffed cos it will flatten a bit. This one was just never really great from the get go but the picture looks amazing.
