Dreamgenii Pregnancy Support and Feeding Pillow Cover, Floral Cotton Grey/White

Product Information

Specifically shaped to help you to lie on your left side, the best position for you and your baby, which can mean a shorter and less painful labour. Some pillows you can buy support you to remain in side laying position. Or encourage you to fall asleep in that position and research shows the position you fall asleep in is often the one in which you remain in for longest." Which type of pregnancy pillow is best? Customers are saying: It can even be used if you’re a front sleeper during pregnancy, which was a God-send for me. By comparison, C-shaped pregnancy pillows are better for plus-sized women and mums looking to use their pillow post-partum as a nursing prop.

This pregnancy pillow is made of polyester inner, while the removable covers are 100 per cent jersey material that come in a modern colour palette – plain white, grey marl or beige marl. The covers wash well at 40 degrees, while the pillow itself is hand wash only. Arriving rolled up in a zipped bag with a handle, the pillow can actually be stored quite compactly, despite its size when laid out on a bed. This can make a real difference to the amount of support a pillow provides, and also how well it keeps its shape. As your baby grows alongside the fluid around your baby and amazing placenta - the weight of your uterus increases. This can put pressure on major blood vessels and can reduce blood flow to the baby.

A bolster pillow is designed to be hugged – place your arms and legs around the pillow with the centre of the pillow supporting your middle. 3. Full body pregnancy pillow Pregnancy pillows can be quite divisive - some pregnant women say that a normal pillow propped under the bump and/or between their legs works just as well, whereas others swear by their favourite pregnancy pillow. It's really down to individual choice and comfort.

Is there enough room in your bed? How heavy is it? Can it be store easily when not in use? Does it make you feel restricted or claustrophobic? 3. Versatility There are a variety of other shapes available too, including ‘J’, ‘O’, 'L' and ‘E’ – all designed to offer support in a way that is most comfortable for you. Other things to consider 1. How much does a pregnancy pillow cost?

After extensive research, we selected the 17 most highly recommended pillows to put through our testing process. Each pillow was scored on these key areas: comfort and safety, ease of use day-to-day, aesthetics, cleanliness and value for money. Those with the highest score were then awarded a Mumsnet Best badge and five others given honourable mentions. Comfort and safety There’s never any guarantees and sometimes you can do everything possible to prevent/manage this but these pregnancy pains may still appear,' explains experienced midwife Marie Louise. "That said, looking after your posture is key. It’s recommended mums fall asleep on their side by 28 weeks of pregnancy - the third trimester. This optimises blood flow to you and your baby.
