    Pregnancy Pillows

    I want... no, i NEED a pregnancy pillow. I have used a body pillow in the past but It wasn't 100% great, and it's just not doing it for me this time around. I was looking at the dreamgenii pregnancy and breastfeeding pillow which looks pretty good. Does anyone have one?
    Or, what do you have if you do have a pregnancy pillow?
    Preferably I wanted one that was like a big "L" shape. Or like a body pillow with a normal pillow attached to it, if you get my drift.
    But anyway... recommend away!

    Dd you end up getting a pregnancy pillow helle?

    I had a body pillow when pregnant with DD and it seemed to just get in the way lol - I normally sleep with a V pillow and I love that - I really want something for this pregnancy that I can get super comfy with lol

    Nope. I slept with a v pillow ontop of a normal pillow and then another normal pillow between my legs. No point getting one now, I'm due tomorrow ^^;

    I've used my V shaped BF pillow (pretty much the same as a triangular pillow but firmer) between my thighs the past couple of months and it's been awesome. Up until then, I was using a proper pregnancy pillow which doubles as a BF pillow but it wasn't providing enough support, despite having a proper spot for my bump to rest, etc!

    PS Helle, good luck! You might want to edit the wording in your post too, lol!

    How exciting that your so close - good luck helle!

    Where did you get your pillows from Taurean? I might have a look over the next few weeks so I've got it stashed away when I want it lol

    Ash - Both were from a proper baby shop. Are you looking for a pillow for sleeping or feeding? The best BF pillows IMO are the kind of squared off ones that wrap around your torso. Bad description but you'll know what I mean when you see one. They sell them at all leading baby shops.

    For sleeping, I'm using a smallish triangle wedge pillow until my tummy - working better than the body pillow I had been using. I also have a regular pillow under my feet but I do that when not pg. the wedge pillow is handy for being under my belly when I'm laying on my side or tucking behind my my back when back sleeping seems to be more comfortable - that way I'm not laying flat on my back. I used it last time and preferred it to the body pillow. Got the wedge in Big W near the baby stuff - think it was a jolly jumper brand.
