Q: Pregnancy Pillows

I'm 20 weeks today, guess that means I'm half way there right. So I haven't bought a pregnancy pillow becuase there kind of pricey and I thought I could just do without one. Anyway the last few weeks since my belly has popped out I can't seem to sleep a good night to save my life. My back is killing me, leg cramps, and I just cant seem to get comfortable, so for all of you experts out there, are pregnancy pillows really worth the purchase? I mean I'm willing to spend the money if I'm gonna get some good sleep out of the deal, but not if it's just a waste. Any suggestions?

id suggest just getting a nice body pillow, it works great and you can use it after too

ditto. a body pillow is awesome and they're pretty cheap at walmart and easier than trying to arrange a million pillows the right way too. i'd def recommend a good, firm one.

I agree with the other girls - get a body pillow. Mine saved my life towards the end of my pregnancy. I couldn't sleep without it.

i felt the same way, then my fiance bought me a body pillow, called scoogle, it wraps in between my legs and over one shoulder then the part under my legs can be tucked under my belly giving me a little extra support, and helped me sleep better at night too, id get a body pillow, or some extra pillows to give you support where you need it when you go to bed.

I just have a regular pillow I put under my belly and between my legs. They are like $10 at walmart and pretty big and firm. I'd die if I didn't have it...
