I have one similar to this...the only thing I'll say about it is that I found it hard to get in and out of bed. I still liked it though! (DH did not because he likes to cuddle at night and the pillow was always in the way).

I'll go ahead and go against the crowd and say I didn't care for my pregnancy pillow. I gave it away after last time. I just have a bunch of strategically placed pillows instead. Which is great this time around since we have a king bed now!

I want a pregnancy pillow because I didn't get one last time. I don't want a U shaped one though. Suggestions? I liked this one Leachco Snoogle Mini Compact Side Sleeper, Sage/White dot www.amazon.com/dp/B000KJZOWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7S-2zbA5M8T1P I still used my normal pillow for my head and used this for my belly and between my knees.

I’m baking potatoes for dinner. Hoping I can still eat them after I smell them cooking...

I feel like my nausea had ceased a bit in the last few days, so naturally I'm worried... Of course we wish for it to go away then it does and we panic. In the nicest way possible, I hope you’re developing night time sickness instead.

I let one of H’s work friends borrow mine two years ago. She hasn’t returned it despite him asking a few times. I’m annoyed because I really want to be using it. Ugh that sucks. After two years I'd probably give up, but I hope she gives it back to you soon. I know. He’s only asked her since the new school year started, but still. I should probably just shop for a new one.

My whole county and neighboring counties are burning. Like 25,000 acres in very, very populated areas. So I'm just stuck to the TV watching for updates. We are on alert for an air quality evacuation, but orders haven't come yet. The nearest flames are about 15 minutes away. Today is sad and scary. Two of my co-workers have lost their homes. Ugh.

I’m so sorry, I hope your home is safe. One of H’s friends grew up in a town that was destroyed by the fires. His high school burned down and he still isn’t sure about his parents’ house (they’re out of the country right now). It’s so devastating.

Yessss. My MW called me this evening. I can start Diclegis tomorrow. Fx it helps. I am not the most confident since my own unisom/B6 combo has been useless but at least it's a start.

lovealwaysalison I’m just catching news about this now. Devastating. Is this the regular bush fire season there? I hope all your loved ones are safe and that it stays away from you.

Called my new Dr (we moved) to schedule the first appointment. I think the lady miscalculated because she said I had to be at least 7 weeks for the ultrasound, but then proceeded to schedule me for 11w. I didn't want to cause a scene or anything, but I wish they were at least bringing me in for a doppler visit to confirm the pregnancy earlier. Now I don't feel like we should announce at Thanksgiving like we planned(10.5weeks).

I couldn't get comfy w the pregnancy pillow, it did nothing for me. it's shoved in my closet. I did have this wedge pillow that I liked. I also used it when I would lay DS on my lap when he was a newborn. I don't know where it went tho I may buy a new one.

Thanks so much everyone. We are ok and so far not threatened by actual fire at our house, air quality is shit though and I'm really nervous what will happen overnight. This whole thing started in the middle of the night last night and still is not contained. Hoping the winds aren't as strong tonight to prevent spreading. adeline we haven't had fire like this in this area basically ever. The more rural counties north of us have had some really devastating wild fires over the past couple of years around this time of year though. In fact, they are burning now, too. But what's burning here isn't brush and trees, it's structures and neighborhoods. The confirmed fatalities right now are at 10. ☹ ETA: I wasn't trying to diminish what's happened up north. I hope it didn't sound like that.

lovealwaysalison, I'm sorry about the fires. I hope it will be more contained by tomorrow so that there aren't more fatalities. It's so sad.

Is anyone dealing with hormonal headaches? The last week I've been having a horrible headache off and on, like pounding with light sensitivity. Today it's worse, I'm sure due to stress. But tylenol, caffeine, water and ice packs are doing zero. Last week at the doctor she told me to contact her if they persisted or got worse and shed prescribe something. But of course her office evacuated so...I couldn't reach her today. I didn't get headaches last time. Ugh.

jessila - I had the full snoogle for DD. I loved it. I haven’t busted it out yet because she still ends up bedsharing every night and I think she would hate not being able to get to me haha. We have got to get her out of our bed soon, though, and then I’ll be happily bringing it back.

I usually just have to sleep them off. Hope you get something that works soon.

I have this Snoogle and I looooove it. I had the full sized U shaped one first but I got too hot with it and it took up too much space.

How many of you with the pregnancy pillows have king beds? I'm looking at my queen and wondering how we would fit with the pillow and the two of us.
