What kind of pillow....
do you use? I was using a regular pillow and putting it in between my knees at night but that doesnt seem to be working anymore I am up constantly twisting and turning from side to side because of my hip pain. What do you girls recommend? I know I've seen some kind of body pillow but I'm not sure what its called.

Re: What kind of pillow....
By the time the regular pillow between the knees stopped working, I only had five weeks to go, so at this point I'm just sucking it up. My SIL SWORE by her body pillow. She said it was fantastic.

Re: What kind of pillow....
All the way up until the past few weeks (I'm now 34 weeks with twins) my snoogle was a lifesaver.. lately no matter what I just can't get comfy!

Re: What kind of pillow....
I've been using a body pillow and I love it! I recently started getting outer thigh/hip pain at aroudn 32-33 weeks, but I think nothing will help that.
I also use a buckwheat pillow for my head, which is a lifesaver! It's called the Bucky pillow and totally conforms to whatever position I'm in. I friggin' love it. You can get it on Amazon.

Re: What kind of pillow....
Last time I paid the $50 or whatever it was for the Snoogle, and I LOVED it....
But I used it so much, it got really beat up and when we moved, we tossed it.
This time, I didn't want to spend the money...so I found a great body pillow at HomeGoods...it was like $20 for the pillow and a set of two pillow cases

Re: What kind of pillow....
I have the snoogle but have stopped using it. I use 4 pillows, 1 for my head, 1 behind my back, 1 in front of me and 1 between my legs. I found my regular pillows to be much more comfortable.

Re: What kind of pillow....
I used the snoogle for a while. Then when I got really big it felt like it was taking up too much space in the bed. At that point, throw pillows worked for me. I would put one under my belly and one between my legs, worked very well!

Same here, I LOVE my body pillow. DH liked it a little too much also and kept stealing it from me in the middle of the night so we had to go and get him one too

Re: What kind of pillow....
I use my tempurpedic pillow for my head. A body pillow on my right side that I got at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20 and a Boppy Pregnancy wedge that I got at Buy Buy Baby for my belly when I lay on my left side. DH is on my left so there is no room for the body pillow on that side. I usually bunch up the comforter and cuddle that. I really only need it for my arms right now. If DH isn't in bed, I steal his pillow and snuggle with that. I have always tossed and turned so now isn't any different for me.
