I'm almost 17 weeks and it's becoming difficult to sleep in a comfortable position. My lower back and legs are feeling the pressure. As the title says, does anybody here have recommendations for a pregnancy pillow?
Thank you xx

BBhugme. I was hesitant to get it because of the price but I don't regret a penny! It's possibly my favourite thing in the whole house, including my husband.

I got a purflo and I love it! Lovely and firm. Nice for between legs at night or as a back support on the couch or as neck and leg support if I’m watching tv in bed!

I got a massive U shaped one off Amazon, which I then put my own pillow on top of (on the head part) to raise my head a bit. I wanted a U one so that whichever side I slept on, there was support already on that side without me having to drag a single body pillow across with me.

My first pregnancy I used a massive U-shaped one and loved it, but this time round it pissed me off and I ended up getting rid. Now 36 weeks with SPD/twin pregnancy and my advice is go for thickness. The BBhugme looks great but I couldn't have afforded it. I got the ALDI long body pillow and it's been fab.

I bought a dreamgenii that i really couldn't get on with. So like poster above, i then bought a 12ft U shaped one for about a tenner on Amazon and it was amazing!! Not sure DH was pleased but i couldn't care less by that point 🤣🤣

Bbhugme and it's my favourite thing in the house now. I did get it second hand on FB marketplace though. From the other pillows I've seen/touched, the bbhugme is much nicer to use.
