I'm starting to find it difficult to sleep comfortably, and I've heard about pregnancy pillows. For those who used one, do you think a pregnancy pillow is really necessary, or can I manage with regular pillows? Is it worth buying one?
With twins, my belly was so huge I looked like a walking beach ball, so a pregnancy pillow was non-negotiable! It was the only thing that kept me from rolling over. My husband complained it took up 80% of the bed, but I didn't care at all, haha!
I spent hours reading reviews online worrying if the stuffing was chemical-free or if it would cause neck pain! In the end, my husband got tired of my overthinking and just ordered one. It actually helped support my back, so please don't stress and just buy it.
Since I had a PCOS history, I was already dealing with high anxiety and sleep issues early on. I bought a U-shaped pillow and it did help me get comfortable, though it's not a magical cure. Give it a try if you are struggling to sleep on your side.
I had a normal delivery and honestly, that C-shaped pregnancy pillow was my best purchase. It really helped support my belly and back as I grew bigger. But if you don't want to spend, regular thin pillows between your knees can also work.
Your body is doing so much hard work growing that precious baby, you deserve all the comfort in the world! Getting good sleep is so important right now. If a pregnancy pillow helps you sleep even a little bit better, please go ahead and get it.
