My sleep is so disturbed now, cant find a comfortable position at all. Im 6 months and thinking of buying a pregnancy pillow. Which one did u all use, the U shape or C shape? pls suggest.
I had some severe pelvic pain during my pregnancy, so my doctor actually recommended a specific orthopedic support pillow. Please ask your gynac if you have extreme pain, as they can suggest the right ergonomic support for you.
I bought a C-shaped pregnancy pillow and it was a lifesaver even after my C-section. It supported my back and kept the pressure off my stitches when I was resting. Definitely invest in one, it helps so much with comfortable sleep.
Oh babe, go for a U-shaped pregnancy pillow, it's like sleeping in a giant hug! Don't stress too much about finding the perfect brand, just get a soft cotton one online. It totally saves your back and neck from aching.
The maternity physiotherapist at my hospital recommended a high-density memory foam C-pillow. I'd suggest asking your hospital's prenatal team because they usually have great ergonomic recommendations that prevent joint strain.
I personally found that a simple long body pillow worked best for me. I just tucked it under my belly and between my knees for support. It really helped me get some decent sleep during those heavy third-trimester nights.
Don't waste money on overly expensive bulky pillows if your bed is small. A regular firm pillow between your knees and one behind your back does the exact same job. Keep it simple and practical.
