Pregnancy Pillow

When did you get or start using your pregnancy pillow? I'm only 8 weeks along, so I feel kind of silly buying one already. But I'm having off and on light cramps that make sleeping with my legs together uncomfortable, so I've been sleeping with a pillow between my legs. Do you think a pregnancy pillow would help with sleeping discomfort this early on?

I didn't truly start using a pregnancy pillow until about 20 weeks and even then I only got a hip support pillow, not one of the big ones. It's completely up to you and whatever makes you most comfortable....pregnancy can be incredibly uncomfortable so do whatever you need to make it as pleasant of an experience as you can for yourself!

I got mine when I was 13 weeks pregnant and I started using it right away as I șlept so well with it. I loved my pregnancy pillow

I found my pregnancy pillow helpful when I had a really big bump! Around 26 weeks plus I started using mine! I found mine dead uncomfortable when I barely had a bump xx

I didn’t start using mine with my first until around the 30 week mark when I could no longer lay on my stomach. I’m pregnant with my second and have used it since about 15 weeks when I started getting bad hip pains. It’s up to you and when you need it 🖤

I got one and it was such a waste.. it took up so much space and even though it was supposed to stop me from turning onto my back I’d wake up on my back sandwiched between the pillow. Also turning from one side to the other was a hassle and had to wake up and readjust every time. You can accomplish the same thing with a pillow tucked between your legs and maybe one against your back IMO. After birth I used a wedge pillow under my tummy when I was on my side because I felt all loose and sloshy lol

I got mine right away to help me learn to sleep on my side asap. I’m a big back sleeper and needed support so I could learn to stay on my side

Thanks everyone! I am a side/stomach sleeper naturally so I'm not worried about rolling to my back. I'm just looking for something to help with back/hip pain and those cramps I'm experiencing. :)

Get it! It’s then best thing ever I got mine super early and plan to keep it forever lol it helps me sleep so much better

Girl I bought mine so early and no regrets. I miss it so much 😂

i got mine around 8 weeks bc i had the same issue lol personally i don’t think there’s a correct time frame on getting one bc let’s be real its just a differently shaped body pillow 🤷🏻‍♀️

I started using one at 6 weeks and I didn’t care if it was too early. I felt so uncomfortable without it, the back ache was too much. Screw what anyone else thinks, you do you! And you won’t regret the pillow they’re so good!

I got mine straight away cause I’m a back sleeper and wanted to try get myself out of the habit before it became an issue! Girl do it! I love mine so cosy 🤣

Thanks for the support! I'm definitely getting one ASAP 😅

I never used one I just used pillows but I’d say when my pregnancy started to become uncomfortable
