Pregnancy Pillow

... would recommend having a wedge pillow for your upper body and... do for an 80yo lady. Pregnancy is an immunocompromised condition, so...

... a hot pad, some massage, pillow between the legs, nothing seems... towards the end of my pregnancy I wouldn’t even bother but ...

Hi 👋. I’m on my 31st week of pregnancy and i have started getting side hips pain when i sleep. I wake up every 1-2 hrs at night and unable to get a good sleep😅 tried G shape pregnancy pillow but it’s not that comfortable for me i throw it in the middle of night😅 any other thing i can do🙈

I have a blown out disc in my back and my PT told me to try a pregnancy pillow. So, I got a big ass noodle pillow that helps get me through the night. I've thought about getting one of those long cases of Miia from Monster Musume for it lol

i had mild SPD towards the end of my second pregnancy and I'm seeing the beginning stages rn in my third at 20w. I read that while sleeping if you keep a pillow between your legs (making sure it extends all the way down to your feet) that that would help, at least while sleeping! maybe that'll translate to the rest of the day i hope you find something that helps you!

BethanysLaughter said: My pain started at 16 weeks! I told my doctor I was hurting so much an… I use a pregnancy pillow. It does help a lot. With my last son I did physical therapy. I want to try a chiropractor this time. Thank you for sharing!

I’m in my second trimester and sleep has started getting… weird. I can’t seem to get comfortable anymore and I keep waking up to adjust positions. I’ve been going down a bit of a rabbit hole reading about pregnancy pillows, and I keep seeing people swear by the BBHugme Pregnancy Pillow — but the price is making me hesitate a bit 😅 I tried looking for more affordable options on Amazon and even SHEIN, but now I feel like I’ve seen too many options and can’t tell what’s actually good vs just hype. Part of me is like… do I even need one? Or is this just one of those pregnancy things people convince themselves they need? Would love to hear honest experiences — did a pregnancy pillow actually help your sleep, or was it not that big of a difference? I’m usually a side / half-stomach sleeper if that makes a difference. submitted by /u/ConversationSuch8893 to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/irritableseebass AITA for emergency breastfeeding my best friend's baby Originally posted to r/AmItheAsshole TRIGGER WARNING: Postpartum depression Original Post - rareddit Oct 21, 2019 My best friend of ten years gave birth to her first child about eight weeks ago. She never wanted kids and she disconnected from her pregnancy and never really connected to the baby after he was born either. She has really bad postpartum depression so I've been trying to help, however I gave birth to my second child about two weeks after she had her baby so I'm needed at home with my family. I could tell she was getting stressed so I offered to take the baby for a day so she could have downtime. She brought him over and we put the babies together. Her son has a really bad digestion problem so he can't ingest regular formula, only breastmilk or special formula. She doesn't breastfeed so he takes the special formula. I asked her if she had packed diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, and bottles in his diaper bag and she said yes. Then she left. For the first three hours everything was fine, the babies chilled out together, we all played, I put on some music and danced around for them. My baby needed a feed so I fed her and then about thirty minutes later Best Friend's baby needed a feed. I went to fix him a bottle and realized she hadn't packed his formula. When I asked if she had packed bottles she answered literally, but I never specified if she packed formula as well, I thought it was given. *My baby is exclusively on breastmilk right now and everything I have is frozen and it takes time for frozen milk to unfreeze. I tried calling her about four times and she kept sending me to voicemail so I text her. She had read receipts on so I know she saw my texts. I kept trying to call and she just wouldn't answer me. I couldn't go to the store and get a jar of formula because she didn't leave me his car seat and I only had my infant's seat. My older child is seven and doesn't need an infant seat anymore. I don't know my neighbors and other than my husband I don't have family in the area. At this point the baby was crying and screaming so hard I thought he might get sick or hurt. So I sat down and breastfed him myself. I'm completely healthy, just got a flu shot and a clean bill of health from both my OB and my GP and I have no diseases so the baby was not at risk for anything. Best Friend finally returned three and a half hours later. I remained calm but told her that she can't leave her child with someone and not answer when that person calls and texts because it might actually be a serious emergency; and that she also hadn't packed any of the baby's special formula. I told her how badly he got upset and how worried I was so I breastfed him myself. She freaked out on me and accused me of some horrible things and then left. She blocked me on social media, something I learned when a mutual friend told me Best Friend was saying some awful things about me online. I don't know what to do, I can't even talk to her about this. I thought I was doing the right thing but maybe I was wrong. AITA? ETA: I busted wanted to let everyone know, because I could not due to the character-count restrictions, one of our mutual friends already placed a call to CPS a few weeks ago. We have several friends who are also worried about her but were unable to come help me when this happened. She gets two wellness visits a week at her home from a caseworker and she's been ordered to seek mental health help. *I'm brand new at breastfeeding, didn't do it with my older child due to illness, and I'm still learning about everything. I received three free sessions with a lactation consultant while in the hospital and nothing since. ETA: When I say in the post I had no one who could come and help me, I mean it. Like, dead serious. My husband and I moved to this town right before we got married and our family is all back on the West Coast. We have a small group of friends, all of whom were either at work or unable to come at that moment. We're a small town, we don't have Uber, hell, Dominos Pizza doesn't even deliver out here. I don't know my neighbors. I'm not even sure what my closest neighbors names are. We're farm country. The nearest neighbor is a mile up the road. Even my husband couldn't leave work. ETA: I've had some really helpful and uplifting comments, and naturally a troll and a couple Armchair MDs, but I've got a sick seven year old, a baby eager for her 3 am snack, and a husband who is currently passed out on the floor using a dog toy as a pillow, and I need some sleep, so I'm gonna sign off. Thanks everyone who helped and I will come back later on and respond further. Good night! ETA: I lost my temper on a few folks and have been banned for 7 days so I cant answer direct questions. Here are few big ones: 1. Where is baby's father- dead, drugs, not a good person, conception was less than good. 2. Why didnt I express milk or thaw a bag- I've literally answered this question a blue billion times both in the post and in the comments so I'm not answering it anymore. 3. Have I called CPS- no, because CPS is already investigating her on unrelated issues however, the mutual friend mentioned in the post told the caseworker, so CPS is aware of all incidents. 4. Not important but I got an article in a newspaper about this so I feel interesting. 5. Best Friend called CPS on me and reported me for the above post so I'm dealing with that now. ETA: made the front page... VERDICT: NOT THE ASSHOLE RELEVANT COMMENTS BigsChungi This story is wild. I'd honestly prefer this over starving my child. Your friend had a very odd reaction... NTA. OOP I honestly and truly think she's just really really stressed right now and this reaction might be a manifestation of her own fears and feelings. I'm really just hurt and upset that we can't even talk about it. wetcardboardsmell You can worry and be upset, but your friend sounds like she is suffering from intense postpartum psychosis and, or, postpartum depression and anxiety. I can't imagine leaving my child with somebody and not checking my phone or not sending them with literally everything they need, food obviously for an infant with special dietary needs. Please dont take it personally. Try really hard to know you did everything you could and you FED THE BABY which is the most important thing here. I'm sorry your friend is struggling. I hope she gets help. NTA. Update Nov 26, 2019 (5 weeks later) Well hello! Since my post, CPS did come and speak to us. I gave the two workers who came out a full tour of the house, I let them speak to my older daughter, they interacted with the baby, they played with the dog, they interviewed my husband and myself, and we were given the all-clear. I showed them my post and let them read some of the comments. I wasn't disciplined or anything and they told us that unless they get a call about us again we'll probably never hear from them again. I mentioned in my post and comments that I had never received proper breastfeeding and lactation help, well that changed too. I got a message from a lactation consultant who actually lives an hour away from me. She made the drive five straight days to come and coach me, gave me some really great literature and tips, so I'm up-to-date on breastfeeding now. My baby is thriving and gorgeous, the dog loves her to death. As for my former best friend; she saw the post, she unblocked me and called me and we talked. She got mental help and hired a nanny, as well, and she seems to be on the road to doing much better. She apologized for everything, and I apologized for my part in it. However, I told her we could never be friends again. Maybe I could have forgiven her for that day she left her baby son with me but I could never forgive her for calling CPS on me. I could have lost my kids. So we are no longer in contact but she's not talking trash about me anymore. Anyway, that is what has been happening since my post. It's been an active month for me. We've all had a stomach bug, and the dog got his balls cut off (finally). My husband got a vasectomy that he's currently recovering from, and I lost ten pounds! Thanks for listening!

what pillow is good for sleeping. I see pillows range from 30 to 60, wondering if the higher the price means better or if they are all the same in comfort? submitted by /u/Jordi_Masterson to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

I’m looking to upgrade my sleep setup and finally get a pregnancy pillow that actually provides real comfort and support. There are so many options out there, and it’s hard to tell what’s genuinely helpful vs. what’s just hype. I’m looking for something that: Provides good support for the back, hips, and belly Helps with side sleeping and overall comfort Is comfortable without feeling too bulky or stiff Holds its shape well over time and is easy to clean I keep seeing popular brands and styles everywhere U-shaped, C-shaped, wedges, etc., but the reviews are all over the place. submitted by /u/CharlieChase2021 to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]

Our little boy doesn’t seem to sense that a little human is growing nearby, but he sure knows how comfy this pillow is. As a non-cuddly corgi, he will sometimes tolerate sharing, but the second my husband or I get up, a full takeover ensues. submitted by /u/citionariver to r/corgi [link] [comments]
