    i hate these pillows, they're great if you don't have blankets on top so for a day nap but in winter at night... turning over is a nightmare (bump is so not as bad). atm I just use a regular boomerang pillow wedged between my legs. its not as useful now i'm 39 weeks but only one more week or so left. i actually bought my pregnancy pillow from the markets in brand new condition. its like a giant long pillow so maybe that's why its harder to maneouvre?? it's very wide though which is so supportive.

    I ended up with 2 body pillows for that exact reason! I just put one on either side of me so when i rolled during the night, I didn't have to drag the pillow with me

    I just picked up the Inspired Living pillow from Babies Galore they have 10% off till this Sunday so i thought I might as well get it now. I will test it out tonight and let you know what I think of it. DH has the flu now so I don't mind cuddling up to pillow instead of him right now anyway.

    It's weird. At first the rolling over with Snoogle was a drama, but I've become one with it. I wake up with it wrapped around me and I'm lying sort of on my back with my legs all entwined in it and I feel super comfy, until baby starts head-butting me in the bladder

    The one complaint I have is that I now have a pain in my groin from my legs being forced apart. I think my Snoogle is a little bit over stuffed. If I had a sewing machine I'd open the seams and take out some stuffing and then sew it back up.

    Also, getting out of bed is a bit difficult because I put the great-wall-of-chastity on the outside of the bed so I don't cut off all contact with my husband. But I agree, the Snoogle takes up less room in bed than the old pillow fortress.

    Another thing is that if I am lying with my belly to the snoogle, I wake up sweating because I get way too hot with it.

    Anyway, Snoogle saved my sanity so I forgive its weaknesses. Nobody's perfect.
