I'm having trouble finding a good position to sleep in lately. Probably more from bloating than anything else. I keep seeing ads for pregnancy pillows. Did any of you ladies buy one? Was it worth it, or should I just try piling up my regular pillows?

I LOVE MY SNOOGLE!

Probably one of the best PG purchases I ever made... I still use it! Definitely worth the money- was the only thing that helped me sleep during my third tri!

Amazon.com: Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow: Baby

I'm with Lauren, I love my snoogle! It has really helped me to be comfortable and I like to use it when I watch movies in bed too!

I never had one, but I was never really *that* uncomfortable sleeping. I guess I'm lucky! It was just hard to adjust from sleeping on my tummy LOL

Tip - apparently one of the best positions for preggers to sleep in (to help baby get into the right position) is on your left side, with your left leg straight and your right knee kicked forward at a 90* angle, resting on the bed. It makes a cradle out of your belly, so baby's back will lie in it and *hopefully* be in the right position!

I got the Leachco Back 'n Belly and it was seriously the best money ever spent! The snoogle (which I also bought) was okay at first but once I got bigger and turned over more often at night I hated have to roll with the snoogle And I like having the back support of the Leachco.

I used a body pillow my ENTIRE pregnancy. I would put it between my legs, and sort of "hug" it while I slept. I couldn't have lived without it!

I have a regular body pillow I bought in Bed Bath & Beyond, and so far it's worked great.

I'm planning on buying one as soon as I get home (in 2 weeks) because I'm already uncomfortable, but I do have back problems which is probably why it's started so soon for me.
