    I'm starting to get to the point that sleeping is uncomfortable and I need a little extra support.  Right now I shove a pillow under my belly but I think I'd like to buy one of the fancy pillows.  Some women claim that get by with body pillows... but I'm thinking I want something that will support my belly, go between my knees for extra back support, and be behind me as well so I don't roll over.

    Seems like the Leachco Snoogle, Boppy Total Body Pillow, and Leachco Back 'N Belly are the most popular.

    Any of you have these?  Love them?  Have something else?

    Thanks!!

    Wow.  my son is 11, but I got one when I was preggers back in the day.  It did help me and I kept it for so long!

    Get one!  It's for sure worth the $

    My mom bought a maternity pillow when pregnant with my littlest sister--it was nothing special, was about $7 at Walmart, and for her, it did the trick.

    I have a snoogle and I love it! I't wraps around your neck so it supports your neck while side sleeping and its great for the keeping your hips aligned also. People who miss sleeping on their stomachs like it bc it lets you angle more towards your stomach while supporting your belly.

    My hubs bought me the Snoogle and I LOVE it.  My hubs and I joke around that it is my new boyfriend because it cuddles with me everynight.

    I think there is a love hate relationship with these kinds of pillows because they are quite useful to some, like myself, but doesn't work for some and sometimes gets in the way.

    For me it was the best investment so far with my pregnancy and I am thankful I have one. It was far better than sticking a pillow between the legs.

    Do your research and try one. If you don't like it, just return it but you will never know until you try it.

    I have to say that the Snoogle did the trick for me...couldn't have survived without it!  And yes, I was a stomach sleeper and missed it terribly.  I looked at the Boppy total body pillow and actually pulled it out at the store and sort of squished it around, I liked the Snoogle better!
