OK, I finally got some sleep last night!! My friend Kelli had loaned me her Snoogle pregnancy pillow when I became pregnant.
She never used it b/c she didn't find it comfortable, but I thought I would give it a shot. I've given it about 5 shots actually & just could not get used to it. I'm a tummy sleeper & have had the hardest time adjusting to side sleeping. Not to mention, I've got bad shoulders & sleeping on my side is painful. But every time I tried the pillow, it didn't do the trick for me. It was too big and bulky.
But about a week ago, I started needing a pillow under my tummy for more comfort while sleeping *aka* laying in bed wide awake for a few hours!
Last night, I decided to whip out the good 'ol pregnancy pillow and to my surprise, it did the trick! Now, I'm sure it helped that I was going on 4 days of little to no sleep and nothing could have kept me up, but I'm giving credit to the snoogle.
Moral of the story, you will get big enough at one point to need the pillow, so don't give it up.! :)
Personally, I would probably like this pillow better b/c you can turn either way. The one I have, I have to use a small couch pillow for my tummy when I turn over to the open side.
P.s. Just when I thought my week had finally turned & I got some sleep, so everything would be A-OK....wrong! Woke up to my dog being sick all over the house again. Flushed it in the hallway bathroom toilet, stopped it up & flooded the whole bathroom. Again-MY LUCK!! It is fine, I'm just being tested that's all :)

Girl are you sure you don't have triplets in there with as much as you are being tested? I know one kido can keep your hands full, but man...you are being tested ALOT! :)
God's just getting your patience ready for when you do have a little one and you are up all night feeding sweet GG!!
Love ya sweet friend :)
Hi had problems sleeping when I was pregnant too. (also a tummy sleeper)- it is SOOO hard to adjust. I wish I had one of those, I slept with about 6 regular pillow (seriously!) I would tuck them everywhere... prop my tummy up on the side, between my leg, sometimes even 2 between my legs, my back.. I'm sure I looked rediculous but it is the ONLY thing that worked for me. I wish I could say it gets better but it only gets worse the further you are. But it sounds like you got it made with that pillow. I should have broke down and bought one. HAHA!!!
The above is suppose to start off "I had" not "Hi had" HAHA!!!
YAY! For the pillow..... but boo on the P.S... ha!
I'm def gonna invest in a great pillow like that when I get pregnant again! I had the wrong kind & hated it.
I hope your doggy feels better! Poor thing!
I invested in a pillow almost exactly like that 2nd pillow you posted and it really hasnt helped me out much guess you just need them when you get really uncomfortable
