Hello my name is Leslie.. and I'm a pillow hoarder! The other day my husband ever so politely pointed out to me that I am becoming a pillow hoarder. Call it what you want.. but I am willing to do whatever necessary to be comfortable at night!!
Before pregnancy I already slept with two pillows under my head. Not thick, fluffy ones.. about medium thickness. Around 13 or so weeks Jeremy surprised me with this lovely gift from Babies R Us. It's the Snoogle Total Body Pillow. At first I didn't sleep with it all the time.. however now I don't go a night without it! It's great for keeping a pillow between my legs.
The body pillow soon became not enough. My back was hurting more and more so Jeremy did a little internet research. He found that putting a pillow under your hip, on your back side, is supposed to help. It seems to! So every night at bedtime I lift up my hip and he slides it under. (Then he tucks me in and kisses me good night.. yes I know.. it's so sweet!). Here is the thick, fluffy Ralph Lauren pillow that I use for under my hip.
Annndd... my latest pillow acquisition.. the Boppy Contoured Wedge pillow. I got this from Target. Amazon has it too.. but it's cheaper at Target. It fits nicely under my tummy for support. I thought of the idea when I got a massage last week. They had something similar and it was fabulous! Now I don't feel like my stomach is pulling on my back.
So all in all.... I sleep with 5 pillows. I have to be honest.. I still wake up stiff with a back ache.. but it is better than sleeping without them! :)
