Lmao my husband calls mine “the pool floaty” - but it’s not the same one you have. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N44MTLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HH0M0F0HKXTFPST8WKCQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
But at 38 weeks, he’s sick of it being it the bed already. He wants to cuddle me again lol.
I have the BEST pillow!!! Will be using it PP, and even when not pregnant because it’s just that great! It’s comfortable for me (38 weeks), and if I get up my SO takes it over, the cat loves it, and so does the dog! My SO loves it so much that he demands we buy him one for him as well!!

I absolutely don’t think it’s too early to get it either! I didn’t get mine until around 20 weeks and wish I had this all along to be honest!
I have one that I got off amazon before i got pregnant and I love it! I am someone who gets hot really fast and very easily (even before pregnancy) I sleep on my side basically with my arm over the pillow and with it in between my legs. I’ve only ever woken up sweaty once but I’m guessing that was from my down comforter my husband put over me along with a blanket haha but the pillow hasn’t given me any problems! Here’s the link if you want to check it out ! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N44MTLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_7h9CTXAFq3EP8
I got this one last time and holy balls, it’s amazing. Huge hit in the Nov 2019 bumpers group too.
Yes! Buy it! I have this one and I loved it, worth every penny, and I still use it! Do not hesitate you won't be sorry!
Great topic! Every pregnancy is different so the symptoms can very a LOT.
For me I had 2 really painful issues in the second half of pregnancy. I got carpal tunnel that was so bad I couldnt wipe without a cry of pain. It's starting to get achy now at week 10, yaay. BUT, its from the relaxin hormone (that mothfucker can go to hell) messing with tendons. So as soon as my baby was out- within HOURS, pain=gone.
I also go SPD (spmphysis pubis dysfunction). Which caused so much pain when moving, walking, sleeping, sitting. God it was so awful, sleeping was rediculus. its a lot of pain in the pubic bone an radiates out to the inner thighs (for me). My pubic bone would pop like a joint any time i tried to lift a leg or turn. Again- caused by relaxin. And also, completely gone a day after birthing.
Pillows like this are AMMAZING!
I’ve ordered mine on Amazon so I knew it would be an easy return if I didn’t like it. I love it so much I may never sleep without it again. It’s not hard to roll over or get comfy. It was kind of an adjustment the first two nights just because I’d been sleeping without it for 31 years. Once you get used to it, it’s heaven!
This is the one I have but there are others that aren’t as big if she’d rather have something smaller. https://www.amazon.com/QUEEN-ROSE-Pregnancy-Pillow-Shaped/dp/B01N44MTLJ
I use a combo of a maternity sleep pillow against the headboard to prop me up(I love this one) and a My Breast Friend on my belly for baby. I like how the maternity sleep pillow sits on each side of me as well as behind me so I have support from every angle.
I got mine on amazon. It's listed as a pregnancy pillow but I wasn't pregnant when I got it and I love it. And as you can see in the video, if I put a blanket over it, there's just enough room for the kitties to tuck themselves in. Amazon Body Pillow
Hello! The best, most helpful item after surgery was this pregnancy pillow - allowed me to sleep in my own bed comfortably without fear I would roll over and hurt myself during the night.

Also they have a special pillow for riding in the car someone mentioned above. It’s very helpful, and I actually have one I would love to send to you if you would like it.
I have this one and love it! Much prefer over a c shaped pillow. It did come a little bit flat, but me and my husband just ended up cutting open an old down-alternative pillow that we weren’t using anymore and stuffed it with that. Worked like a charm.

Love my jumbo body pillow. Before I bought it, my shoulder / hips / back we're all very angry with me sleeping on my side (I normally sleep on my back).
My husband hates it because it's huge but also loves that it helped me so much. Before I bought it, I was a skeptic because the physics of how it would help my shoulder didn't really add up.
Here's the link to something similar. I don't think this is the exact one but looks the same.

I have a queen sized bed and I got this pillow from Amazon. I have been using it the last 2 weeks and I love it! It doesn't take up that much room and we sleep with our 65 lb dog on the bed. I would highly recommend it!
the only downside is its harder to cuddle but I am sleeping so well soooo
This is the one I purchased, because it was reccomended by another fibro patient in my medical cannabia group. It is really nice.
I have the queen rose . I’ve used it for two pregnancies (and one postpartum) and I love it! My SO also loved it to the point where we got him one too 🤣
A U- shaped pregnancy pillow www.amazon.com/dp/B01N44MTLJ/ was a game changer for me! I got it from my sister when I was 20 weeks and absolutely miserable. It doesn’t solve everything but it definitely helped.
Edit to add: a bonus is you can lay on your stomach with this! It’s like a massage table for your belly. Not to sleep on but to just lay there and go on your phone or something for a few minutes feels nice. I missed the feeling of laying on my stomach!!

Its soft and plush and lets me create a little nest to sleep in. I have chronic joint pain even before pregnancy so I'm hoping it lets me sleep more comfortably.

This is the one my husband bought for me.
I’m 12 weeks and just got this U shaped pillow off of Amazon and it’s a game changer! It’s so comfortable
Maternity pillow!! I’m 12 weeks and just got this pillow off Amazon and it’s a game changer
Here are the things that I found most useful during my recovery:
If you're prone to nausea, definitely talk to your surgeon & anesthesiologist so they can prescribe anti-nausea tablets & also give you the patch behind the ear. In case you are nauseous, have foods that are easy to eat at home (applesauce, jello, soup, etc.).
Have a great recovery!
Here's what my daughter bought and loves:

The pregnancy pillow is her favorite thing she owns! She is also a fetal position sleeper and the pillow has helped make elevated back sleeping comfortable. She used it starting 2 nights before her surgery so she could get used to sleeping on her back and now wants to sleep with it forever. She puts one or two pillows against the headboard, then the U of the pregnancy pillow propped up on those. Then she brings the ends of the pillow together to support under her knees.
The mastectomy pillow is not quite as necessary, but great for car rides and sleeping in. She's 5dpo and still sleeps with it on to protect her chest, and wore it pretty much 24/7 the first 3 days post op.

Another vouch for the pillow. I sleep pretty darn comfortably in that position. Mine is a different brand on Amazon but exact same design/concept.
Def go for the pregnancy pillow.
Here’s mine:

I brought it with us on every weekend trip we made during the third trimester. I don’t need it until well later than 20 weeks.
I really like the Queen Rose, from Amazon, for about $45. It has helped me quite a bit.
