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 anymoreChat Icon 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.

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.

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!

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. Chat Icon

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

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.

Body pillow here too! Also, sometimes a small foam one that fits between the knees/legs.

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 Chat Icon

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.
