I LOVED mine! I bought one of the ridiculously big ones that is a v pillow at the top, but continues all the way down on both sides - only problem with it was it took up heaps of room on the bed, and DH was a bit squished!
It was so good for being able to have between my legs, and behind my back and under my tummy all at once!

My DH bought me one for Xmas. And because he works away for 4wks at a time he drew a big smiley face and it wrote Jason 2.0 on it. Very cute. The pillow itself is amazing I love it

Jacci - Did you end up getting a pillow?

I was given one.... and it made my sleep worse!! I think it may have been too big for me, because the hip pain I was waking up with was terrible.
I ordered a much smaller pillow online, it cost heaps...buuuut I can almost sleep through the night now!

omg yes! it was AWESOME for me!! but then im usually a belly sleeper, so maybe that's why it was so good for me?

i totally recommend it if you are usually a belly sleeper, as it still gives me the ability to (sortof) sleep on my belly, and thus remain comfy

I loved mine - but what was even better was this tiny wedge like pillow made by Denton (I think) - a physio recommended it as I was complaining about hip pain from side sleeping - I found it in a bonds shop. It is small and doesn't look like much but boy, what a difference it made. The thicker part of the wedge fit in my waist so that it was resting where it should and not sinking down to meet the level of my hip if that makes sense.

I just got a body pillow from BigW & used it every night from 20w with my first pregnancy. I couldn't sleep without it, & i'm already using it again. I tuck it under my belly & between my knees.

Definately worth it!! I bought mine from Target and it was soooo comfy!! I'm am usually a tummy sleeper also so it helped alot.
I used to tuck an extra pillow under my knee as well to prop it up a bit more.. I found it was alot more comfy to sleep like this..
