Hi all mamas has anyone used or brought the pregnancy pillow? If so has it helped? I’m not sure if I should bother buying one 👀 I’m finding it so difficult to be comfortable whilst sleeping 😭

Please can any recommend a reasonably priced pregnancy pillow I am going crazy looking at them all 😂

Does anyone know if an exercise ball will do the same job as a pregnancy ball?? Are they the same thing!? Just looking for one for whilst I’m labouring at home!

Do i have to use a pregnancy ball? Do I need one?

Ive heard good things about ikeas toddler pillow but Im no where near an ikea and they wont deliver something that small, links to any other good pillows for toddlers will be much appreciated!

My sister in law suggested getting a nursing pillow as she used hers all the time but I’m not sure which one to get. Some from Amazon have mixed reviews (poor quality, not firm enough for a newborn etc) and others are really expensive and I’m not sure if they’re worth the money. Has anyone used one or could share ...

I know it's super early but has anyone bought one yet? I've been struggling to sleep for 2-3 weeks now and get a lot of round ligament pain on a night I prefer the look of the small ones that go front and back with a knee pillow but unsure if those are comfy or if the bigger L or U shaped are best

At what age did you give your little ones a pillow?

Anyone thinking of introducing a pillow/duvet?

When is the time to start using these I’m only 16 weeks but my sides are starting to ache and last night I kept dreaming my sides were being pulled, is now the time for extra support?

When did you buy your pregnancy pillow? I am 5+2 and also sleep with our sausage dog in the bed who is currently clingy with me. I wake up with backache and what feels like a stitch most mornings but wondered if it was too soon for a pillow

Has anyone found a decent pregnancy pillow that supports your body whilst sleeping. I am having trouble getting comfy and keep waking up on my back...

Is a hot water bottle safe to use on your back during pregnancy as it’s very hot and I don’t know if it had to be a certain temp like when they tell you not to have hot baths?

Did you use a pregnancy pillow, if so what one do you recommend? The big U shape ones or the long straight ones that can curve too?

Anyone have specific recommendations for pregnancy pillows? Brands, features, shape, etc..

LO has a cold wanted to transition to a pillow soon anyway but thinking a little pillow will help the cough… what pillows have people got for there little ones please?

There's so much choice. Halp!

Pregnant with my first, 12 weeks and uncomfortable already. Looking at pregnancy pillows and just looking for some recommendations. I almost always end up on my back in the night and this is terrifying for me in terms of still birth risk. Does anyone have any recommendations for pillows particularly for back sleepers?

What pregnancy pillow does everyone recommend?
