We recently asked our Mums for their advice on a few things…..from products, to breastfeeding friendly places, to their general advice, and now we are bringing that to you!
It is one thing us giving you information about pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, and another having actual new mums giving up to date and relevant information. So today’s topic is: What is your top product for pregnancy?
Pillows! We had lots of mums coming back telling us they loved their pregnancy pillow and it was a must have! Top shouts went to:
- 8 in 1 Wonder pillow (You can order from Pupsik here)
- ClevaMama pregnancy pillow (Order from Pupsik here)
- Sausage shaped pillows – like this one here by Tempur
Why would you need a pregnancy pillow? During your third trimester, it is advised for you to be lying on your side, and sometimes it is hard to not wake up on your back! Your pregnancy pillow can wedge you in, so that it is harder for you to roll onto your back, but also supports under your bump and in between your legs, so that you can feel more comfortable.
The shape also varies – you can get long pillows, C-shaped or U-shaped, so it may be worth seeing if a friend has a pillow you can borrow to try before investing, or playing around with your pillows to find the best shape for you.
