Benefits of Using Pregnancy Pillow

Why Use a Pregnancy Pillow?

Recommended position for future moms is to lie on their side, preferably left one. This can be quite difficult, since the baby bump is heavy enough to strain your back muscles, as you lie on your side. It's very natural to roll on your back, which is not a recommended position for a mom-to-be. Lying on your back can restrict the oxygen flow to the baby which is bad for baby's development. Pregnancy pillows help you sleep on your side and prevent the need to roll on your back.

Why would you need a special pregnancy pillow?

Ordinary pillows that you already have around the house are usually to soft. They were not made to support a growing baby bump and are horrible at that. In order to get any support, you need to stack quite a few of these pillows together.

Soon you need one for the head, one for the belly, one for the back, and a couple for in between the knees. Soon enough you have a bad full of pillows, leaving no room for your partner.

Maternity pillows or pregnancy pillows were designed specifically to replace all those ordinary pillows. They offer you all the support you need for a good sleep and still leave enough room in your bad for your partner.

Pregnancy pillow will not get rid of all the trips to the restroom, but it can make you comfortable enough to fall back asleep more easily after returning back to bed. The pregnancy body pillow gives you extra sleeping time when you need it the most.
