Pregnancy Pillow

From around 15wks I had really painful PGP/SPD, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without a pregnancy pillow. I had a full body 'U' shaped one. Also helped stop me rolling onto my back. Not everyone uses them though ☺️ x
Im 37 weeks on Wednesday and don’t have a pregnancy pillow 🤷🏻♀️ I tried three different types but they were all uncomfortable and a waste of my money tbh. I literally use a pillow between my legs every night and sleep well
I personally ditched the pregnancy pillow and got a huge wedge pillow. My problem was acid reflux. I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling like a fire breathing dragon
I've got 2 wedge pillows one for under my bump and one behind to stop me rolling on my back been using since about 18 weeks purely for stopping back sleeping. I definitely notice now if I don't use them I wake up a bit sore but I wouldn't say they're a must if you're sleeping well and not feeling uncomfortable then save your pennies for something else baby needs!
It’s not required but would benefit you in the third trimester if you roll in your back a lot. I have one but I used it early in my last pregnancy because I have spd in pregnancies so it helps my pain. But this time round although I need it I don’t use it because it’s hard to keep getting out of when my current baby wakes up all the time I’ll use it more if he sleeps better
