Body Pillow - When to get one?

Question

Ladies, at what point did you decide to get a body pillow to help you sleep? What trimester were you, how many weeks, why did you get one, which one did you get? 
I usually have no problem sleeping at all and lately have been waking up nonstop and can’t get comfortable. I’m only 5 weeks and think my husband would think I’m crazy for getting one so early on.

Answer

I used a regular body pillow pretty early on because I'm a stomach sleeper and my bloat was so uncomfortable I was waking up and needed something to keep me on my side! Then my real bump started at about 12 weeks and I was ok for a couple weeks but I developed a joint dysfunction in my hip, so I asked for a pregnancy pillow for Christmas (which put me at 19 weeks) but I wish I could have had it by like 15 weeks because that's when the pain really started and it did disrupt my sleep. It has helped SO much.

Answer

I bought one for comfort before I knew I was pregnant n this is quite small. I have now got a 12ft one which is massive n comfy but too big for my bed but fabulous for watching tele! I got both from amazon

Answer

I got mine at about 6wks during my last pregnancy. Unfortunately lost that baby before I started using it. I had forgot about it. But am very ready to start using it now! Almost 12 wks and end up uncomfortable when I turn into my belly in my sleep.

Answer

I bought one at 8 weeks. However, I have all sorts of back problems and it has helped me so far.

Answer

I never used one

Answer

I don’t think I’m going to get one. They take up a lot of room. I may buy a better pillow to put between my legs.

Answer

I don’t use one. I think they’re too big and take up too much room. I started to use a pillow between my legs when I was around 30ish weeks and couldn’t sleep all the way on my stomach anymore.

Answer

I bought one pretty much the second I found out I was pregnant 😂 but I absolutely love it!
