I still miss my pregnancy pillow sometimes! There is no fixed rule, just tuck it under your belly or behind your back wherever you need the support.

Honestly, if those expensive pillows are out of budget, just use two normal cotton pillows. Put one under your belly and one between your knees, it does the exact same job.

It is a absolute lifesaver! ☁️ Just hug it, keep your left leg over it, and sleep like a baby. It is so comfortable! 😊

Left side is always best. Put one end under your head, let it support your belly, and clamp the bottom part between your thighs to relieve pelvic pressure.

Don't overcomplicate it. Just place it where you feel the drag, whether it's under your bump or behind your back. It's meant to adapt to your comfort.

The ideal way is to sleep on your left side. Place the pillow to support your head, run it under your belly to relieve the weight, and tuck the lower part between your knees to align your spine.
