Cool Purchase: Preggle Pillow

Words I never thought I’d utter “Cool Purchase: Preggle Pillow”  lol, who am I?!

Okay, so I’m still in a little bit of a state of shock that I am in fact pregnant.  It’s very surreal to me actually. As these weeks continue to fly by, I am subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) reminded that my body is inhabited by a little person.  Every morning I wake up with hip and back aches from sleeping on my side.  *Fact: I never knew until a few months ago that pregnant women have to sleep on their side*.

I had a checkup at the doctor on Tuesday.  She recommended that I buy a pregnancy body pillow to ease this common discomfort.  Sure enough my preggo partner and I drove to Babies R Us yesterday (after getting a flat tire in the pouring rain and devouring cookies ‘n’ cream sundaes at Friendly’s of course).  There were lots of options in this mommy gear aisle.  I went for this one:

It’s called a Preggle Pillow. It looks like a candy cane.  Only mine is a zebra print.  There is no photo from me because I am lying on it right now.

I looked at the zillion ways you can sleep on this thing and I was both impressed and confused. (There are 16 ways but here are a few)

I flopped around in bed until I was comfy.  I woke up well rested and with much less aching.

If you were ever pregnant, what saved you from these little physical obstacles?
