Looking for a pregnancy pillow - any recommendations?

I've been having a hard time sleeping and getting comfortable in bed lately. I'm normally a back sleeper so this side sleeping stuff is making me crazy, and on top of that I get a dull pain near my hips/upper thighs from sleeping on one too long. The longest I seem to sleep on one side before becoming too uncomfortable is maybe 2 hours and of course it's a huge deal to roll over.

I've seen the Boppy Body Pillow and I heard about the Snoogle. Which would you recommend? Or is there another one you'd recommend? I definitely don't want a regular body pillow since that will take up too much space in the bed, and these pregnancy pillows seem more narrow.

Thanks!

I didn't buy either. I bought a King size pillow and used that. I loved it and since I bought it at Marshall's, it only cost me $10.

I absolutely love my Snoogle!!! I can't sleep without it. Since I got it at 2 months, I have been sleeping so well. Before that, I was getting 2 hours tops.

It's so crazy because I was sleeping great up until a few weeks ago and it's just gotten harder and harder the bigger my belly gets.

It's starting to make me crazy.

So far I think the Snoogle sounds like the best option. Do you guys have full sized ones or the mini?

I have the full size one.

I have the boppy body pillow. It works great and doesn't take up too much room. I've never seen the snoogle but I would assume they are pretty similar.

I have the full size snoogle. LOVE IT!

I too love love loved my snoogle!! Not sure if I had the mini or kind size...probably the king size. But I tell ya, I was mad at myself for waiting so long to buy it! That thing rocked!! I slept sooo much better! And I was/am a back sleeper too. My doc told me you could still sleep on your back and long as one of your hips was propped up even a little bit...like even with a towel or pillow. Takes a little to get used to but it helped me sleep once I was back on my back! Hang in there!!!

Dh bought me this one early on and I've been using it and really like it. He obviously didn't know what a snoogle was, so he just bought a "pregnancy pillow", but it looks very similar.
