Hi, ladies! I am so glad that this topic was brought up! I am 5 months pregnant and choosing a pregnancy pillow too but those C shaped pillows look weird so I wasn't sure about them. Now I feel that they actually are useful. Thank you!
Hi there,
Pregnancy pillows are really helpful during pregnancy. When I was pregnant I learned a lot of things about pregnancy pillow from [url=http://pillowsforlife.com/'>Pillows For Life[/url'>. On this website they review lot of pregnancy pillows, those will help you to choose the perfect one.
Totally agree with rest of the ladies, my friend gave it to me when I was 6 months and now everyday I look forward to lay with it :).
They are not cheap though, my pillow is DreamGenii Maternity Support Pillow and last time I looked in Destination Maternity it was AED400, and it is a very normal pillow, only different thing is the shape. I would not recommend the one I have as the part you put between your legs is too narrow and I have to use another normal pillow to have a good opening of my heaps. It gives good support for back and bump though - Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.... but if you buy a new one, open it in the shop and make sure that the part you put between your legs is as big as a normal pillow, if not you will have the risk to have back pain.
I hope this helps :)
I got the C shaped one from destination maternity too (looks like a giant comma :D). I couldn't have managed without it (though there are loads of brands out there that do the same job)! Got it quite early - about 4 months because I have a bad back and giving my bump some support helped that.
I had an emergency C as well and this was great support in the recovery period. And now I use it when I need to bottle feed my baby or help her sleep (used it for breastfeeding in the early months as well). Gosh I sound like I sell them!! But you see what I mean! ;)
So definitely a multi purpose item that I highly recommend!
Hi there, I have a large C shaped pillow from Destination Maternity (Dubai Mall) and I couldn't sleep without it now. I even take it to hotels/friends houses if we are staying overnight. Very comfortable as it supports your back, bump, and hips.
are they helpful? yesterday i saw one in mamas and papas and was tempted to buy one but then thought of asking you ladies :)
i am in 6 month and these days my night goes into just rearranging pillows to find comfort :(
