Maternity Pillow

Have any of you tried a maternity pillow? I'm only about 15 weeks and been having trouble sleeping already, plus I keep waking up on my back. :/
I was looking at the belly bean pillow because I like that it's smaller and won't take up the whole bed. Have any of you tried that? Or suggest one that you love? Thanks in advance! :)

I love the belly wedge I bought. It's not too big and just goes right under my belly. Right around 25 weeks it became a life saver!

I have a boppy 3 piece custom fit total body pregnancy pillow with back, belly, and leg support that I purchased from target. I was skeptical about spending the money on it but after using it for the last couple of months I wouldn't go without it.

We bought a new mattress also, didn't do the trick. My snoogle is the best investment ever, I can't go without it!I love being able to Contour it around me. I still use another pillow behind me to keep me a bit propped up so I don't lay flat b.c of my horrible acid reflux but this is worth every penny!!

My husband and I called "our" full body pillow Steve. He is quick to claim Steve when I get up in the morning. We almost spent $2000 on a new mattress, my back pain was so bad. Steve changed all that,  and only for $80 lol

The problem with me is how to get my husband to stop putting his leg over me and the maternity pillow. He loves it and will steal it if he can. I think hes pregnant too. Lol

I already had a straight body length pillow under our normal pillows anyway so now i just wedge that where its needed lol but wish i had a U shaped one so much as i usually end up with the big pillow one side and other smaller pillows the other side constantly in pain at night :/

I am IN LOVE with my maternity pillow.  It is shaped like a capital G, and is basically an off brand of the Snoogle. My husband says he's been replaced by it and frankly, he's right.  I've never slept so well (minus the getting up every hour or so to pee).  :-).

I found the bay pillow too big,  took up the bed and I couldn't get around it to pee every hour.  It was like being trapped!  I ditched it pretty quick and substitute it with 2 fluffy blankets that I'm now very close with lol. I wrap them from under my boobs and belly through my legs right up to my pelvis and between my knees, and then up my back to support it. I like it better cause I can contour it the way i need it.

I also have a full body u shaped pillow and love it! It felt a bit big at first but that may have been because I didnt really need it. Its so comfy! Enjoy!

I use a body pillow. But i grab another regular sized queen pillow and stick it on the opposite side of the body pillow. For some reason I can not sleep without it being just like that every night and i dont wake up on my back anymore. But you have to stick the regular pillow right up behind ya. Lol sorry for the story!
