As a mom and a Doula I can not recommend this product enough!!!! First as a mom who birthed babies over 10 pounds, the last trimester was miserable until I found this product which allowed me to get some much need sleep, in at least some comfort.

As a doula I recommend all my clients get one to well into their second trimester, to be prepared early.

Once the baby is born I found it was extrememly helpful, when my babies had colds and needed to be slightly elevated. It fit nicely in their cradle.

Highly recommend

I started using this pillow around the 4-5th month of pregnancy because my back would hurt as my stomach hung over while I slept on my side. This gave the support that allowed my stomach to not pull down on my back, which made me very comfortable. I continued to use it through out my pregnancy and it really helped. What was wonderful about it is that it gave support, but it still left room for my husband in bed! The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars is that by the 9th month, the narrow end of the pillow began to flatten and slightly curl, but not enough to make it uncomfortable if I remembered to flip it over each night.

I just have to comment on this wonderful pillow! I am 6.5 months pg with our first child and couldn't find anything to help me sleep... Until I purchsed this pillow.
Before I bought it I checked the review on it and like the other poster said, when I first saw it I was a bit skeptical because of it's small size. However, I went ahead and tried it out and it is great! I could even easily roll over to the other side and move the pillow with me without waking up my husband. You can move it in and out to have as little or as much support that you need for your growing belly.

If you are considering buying this I would definately recommend at least trying it!

At 8 1/2 months pregnant, I've been using this pillow for 3 months. Before buying it, I'd tried every pillow in the house, but, like Goldilocks, I found one to be too small (feathers mushed down under belly's weight) and one to be too big (standard bedpillows and toss pillows were like boulders under there). This one turned out to be JUST RIGHT.

The best thing about it is that you can turn it on a diagonal or push it in or out to allow for changing weight distribution. I've developed DSP (separation of the pelvic joint) and this pillow is the only thing that allows me to sleep in any sort of comfort. I can sometimes go without the knees pillow, and sometimes without the upper arm pillow, and sometimes without the back pillow, but I cannot sleep without my Pregnancy Pillow Deluxe under my growing baby!

Buy one! You'll be glad you did!

I love this pillow. I bought one of those Snoogles...which was awful. It was so cumbersome and hard to turn over, etc. Plus, my husband had to sleep on the couch. I saw this and decided to try it out. I haven't slept without it since. I am now in my 9th month and have used this for about the past three. It takes the pressure off of my belly and allows me to rest comfy. I was a stomach sleeper and this fools my brain into thinking I am on my stomach. Highly recommend!

The pillow is too small, I tought it was bigger. After a couple of days of use it started to loose its firmness and now after a month of use it is basically starting to look flat. I don't recomend it.

This has been such a help. I would take with a grain of salt the review below that claims using this product was like "putting a triangular shaped brick under my hip" -- this person was obviously using it incorrectly, because it doesn't go under your hip. When placed correctly under your belly, it precisely reverses the anatomical physics that cause your back to hurt while sleeping during pregnancy (torque of the belly area while the hips and shoulders try to stay aligned).
While I agree it could be a little wider, it is a terrific value. Its small size has been nice in that it makes it a lot easier to roll over and re-position the pillow on the opposite side.

This product is such a simple concept that I hesitated buying it. I figured, surely I could find something around the house to alleviate the pull of my tummy as I lay on my side. But nothing works as well as this. It's so simple and so small and I sleep much more comfortably with it. It is a little firm, as other reviews mention, but I don't mind. Definitely worth the money.

When I first took it out of the box, I thought "this looks too small to be effective!" But the small size means it supports my 21 week belly while not getting in the way of my upper body or legs as I lay on my side with my legs pulled up. As my belly gets bigger, I shove a little more of the small end under me, and it supports me perfectly. A must have!

I would list my "wedgie" as one of the top "gotta have it" pregnancy items. Although the Pregnancy Pillow Deluxe is not very big, it provided belly comfort in a big way. I'd like to see them increase the size, especially since it got crushed down a bit over the last several months of my pregnancy, but then again, it was DEFINITELY better than anything else I came across. Get one, it's worth it. Oh yes, and it works well after pregnancy to raise the head side of your crib when you want your baby's head up when he has a cold!
