Maternity pillows

[lilmisspositive]

Looking for a kind of U shaped maternity pillow. Anyone have any suggestions? I did find it at toys r us and they claimed they were shipping it to the store near me but it has been awhile and when I rung they claimed to have no idea what I was on about. : (

I have a big body pillow but find it is only supporting the one side of me.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated! ; )

I used one of those "boomerang" pillows from back in the day - you know the ones that are either a V shape or a U shape. I can't afford to buy a new one, and it seems to go OK. I sleep on my side with it between my legs and sometimes under my belly or I roll over more and rest my knee on it, so I am sort of laying on my tummy (I'm a tummy sleeper - Oh! how I miss it!). I do get a sore lower back from time to time, so I put a normal pillow behind me too to support my back when I'm on my side.

I hope this makes sense!

I used to work at TRU and at Christmas time, they can be totally hopeless!

I have a body pillow, it's like a normal pillow but the length of the bed almost! I got it from pillow talk, maybe check at a pillow store?

Good luck! It's so much easier to sleep with support pillows!

i just used a boomerang sort of pillow as well - a friend gave it to me but i'm pretty sure it just came from target. i ended up with a bit of a pillow fortress near the end of my PG - i was surrounded!

the bonus with the pillow i had was that it made a great BFing pillow after DS was born

I am DYING for one of those huge U shaped ones. Becuase I am tall, the little short ones just don't do it for me.

I found one online, but it's $99.

Big W and KMart apparently have what they call a "body pillow" but I have heard varying stories about their quality.

i've seen the 'body pillows' at lincraft as well. no idea on quality but i'm sure they were reasonably cheap?
