My amazingly wonderful husband, Patrick, got me a Snoogle for Mother's Day. For those of you who don't know, a Snoogle is a tube shaped body pillow with curved ends.
After about halfway through pregnancy, a woman should not sleep on her back. The weight of the uterus can put stress on a major vein that pumps blood to the heart and therefore not allow enough blood to the baby. To sleep comfortably on my side all night I had pillows all around me. I had two under my head and one on each side so that if I rolled from one side to the other I'd have a pillow to hug. I also had another pillow under my knee for support. With the Snoogle, I don't need ANY pillows. The top curves under my neck and head and the bottom curves up between my knees. And if I roll to the other side I don't have to turn the Snoogle because it's long enough that it curves around to the front of my body for me to snuggle up to. I sleep like a baby now.
I highly recommend the Snoogle to all pregnant women but also to EVERY human being. And to keep it green you can get one with an organic cotton cover!
Oh my gosh! I just saw that they make one for toddlers! How adorable!
