It took me not one, not two, but THREE pregnancies before I finally decided to break down and buy a pregnancy body pillow. After countless nights of waking every few minutes it seemed, I knew I needed to do something to get a better nights sleep. As soon as I hit second trimester this time around my lower back began to ache constantly and I started to have neck pain that I hadn't experienced before. I knew that my growing bump needed extra support and I was positive I needed to get some sleep, and fast.
My husband took notice of my discomfort and one evening came in after work carrying a brand new maternity support pillow. Unfortunately that pillow came in three parts that used Velcro to attach to one another, and lets just say, it was not exactly the most comfortable thing I had ever encountered. So back to the store it went and I quickly got my hands on the Leachco Snoogle.
It was love at first sight (or snuggle rather) with this pillow. The fabric of the cover is extremely soft and comfortable, and the pillow its self it so full and cozy. I am a TOUGH person to please when it comes to getting comfortable during sleep and I was amazed at how quickly I fell in love with this pillow. It is the perfect length for me (I am 5'3), and I am able to wrap it almost entirely around my body. There is enough pillow for me to easily use it under my head, between my legs to support my hips, and around my back for additional support. I use this pillow two ways.

See how peaceful she looks? Totally accurate.
I have used this pillow every single night since the night I brought it home. I am certain I'll continue to use it after pregnancy as well. As someone who typically gets just about the worst nights sleep one can get, I have grown to truly appreciate and value this pillow. And the best part? My back has been hurting less (although only slightly, but I'll take what I can get at this point).
Do you have the Leachco Snoogle? What are your thoughts?
