Body Pillows

by Tara Peris

Women who have trouble sleeping during the later stages of pregnancy often find respite with body pillows. Not simply for singletons in need of a nighttime cuddle, these pillows serve a real medical purpose. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are designed to provide relief for a number of sleep-related ailments.

Pregnancy can be a challenging time for many women. The excitement of a new addition may loom large, but the strain of fluctuating hormones and rapid body changes can make the months of waiting feel like sheer agony. Whereas the women who came before you had to suffer in silence, modern technology has provided relief for a number of common ailments.

Make Room for Baby

Perhaps one of the easiest things to address is the poor sleep that invariably accompanies the third term. With a growing belly and a bladder that feels constantly squished flat, it can be hard to find any nighttime relief. A good body pillow can allow you to rest comfortably on your side by providing support for both your belly and your lower back.

Most maternity models are horizontally shaped rather than long and vertical; however, it is possible to work with just about anything to get support along the spinal column. It may take some trial and error, but most women find pillows useful during the third term. Look for options that come with all natural, high thread-count covers so that the pillow can breathe easily and you don't find yourself getting hot.
