I had pretty bad hip pain, especially at night during my last pregnancy but I just dealt with it because I was in my 3rd trimester. Well, it has started already this time. Anybody have a type of pillow they love for pregnancy aches and pains?
I'm thinking an in between the legs one for night time. Maybe?

Last time I used a preggle. It was good. This time I just put a pillow on my amazon list but I didn't buy it yet.

I have a snoogle that I loved last time. You can get lots of different positions from it.
I just bought a soft cover for it since the one that comes with is kind of rough.

With my first pregnancy I loved my snoogle. But with the second and third it annoyed the hell out of me. No idea. But it is hard to maneuver with all that pillow and a giant belly. Felt like a giant stuck turtle.

I loved my pillow. If I remember correctly the snoogle is C shaped? I got the one that was U shaped. So I slept in the center with my head on the middle of the U (the U goes upside down). I could turn either way without moving the pillow. And I put the bottom part in between my legs. I have been thinking about getting it out already because it's been hard to get comfortable except on my back and that makes me nervous. It was so nice to have the side of the U spooning me all the time because MH always rolls over the opposite way before he falls asleep!

I got the boppy one recently just because it was at target. It took me a couple nights to get used to it but now I love it.
ETA: didn't use one at all in my first pregnancy.

I have the snoogle. Last pregnancy it took me until the second tri to really fall in love. Same with this pregnancy. But I will use it to start out the night with between my legs because I also experience bad hip pain. But by the third tri I will not go anywhere without it. My husband despises it lol

I didn't use one my first pregnancy because I didn't have much physical discomfort sleeping (insomnia and ridiculous hearburt yes tho).
But this time my lower back is already bothering me. So pregnancy pillows help with that too? Or mostly hip pain?

I just used a regular old body pillow for both of my previous pregnancies but that thing is probably 10 years old at this point, probably time to find a replacement! We also have a king sized bed now, I survived 2 pregnancies on a full (and I think both times kicked DH into the guest room for the last few months).

I loved my snoogle last pregnancy but haven't busted it out yet this go round. I'm sure I will soon. I've been sleeping with a regular pillow between my legs though.

I loved my snoogle last time around. DH hated it because it put me on my own pillow island far away from him, but I loved it. I'm tempted to break it out even though I don't need it yet.

I didn't get a pregnancy pillow but I did get a soft king sized pillow and used that sort of as a body pillow. It worked pretty well. I had a couple of other regular pillows on the bed with me too and sort of made a little nest.
We have a Sleep Number bed and I keep my side super soft which helps me to be comfortable too.
