Cons first: I feel like my pelvis cracks when I'm on my side, even if my side is between my knees. It doesn't offer enough support under my big little basketball abs, so I have to put a small piece of blanket under it to take the pressure off my back. Should the other party offer support? I tried to position it for this but took my breath away and ended up ruining part of my elaborate nest. Then. After sorting everything and falling asleep, it's time to get up and go to the bathroom. I can't roll my whale belly over a speed bump to get out of bed. So the grunts, hiccups, and fight starts every time my husband wakes up. Sometimes I just turn the side to the head of the bed to get out, but then I have to redo the blanket under my stomach that has been so carefully positioned. more negativity; The pillow is very easy to adjust to any position, but I keep hearing the threads popping in the seams. Probably because if I'm trying to move it, but also struggling to move, chances are there's a part of me lying on the pillow somewhere, so I pull on it and the stitching tears a bit. However, there are no holes! Now it is ok! The cover is easy to remove, wash well and put back on. I turn my side to the center, make a small donut hole and sleep on my stomach. Although I still have to wear a king size blanket over this setup so I can pack a little more or less support if needed. When I sleep on my stomach I sleep on a pillow so my shoulder falls over the 'head' of that pillow to make it feel less broken and I have 1 or 2 pillows that put my head over it. I. Now that we get to the reflux slipping out of my mouth while sleeping in my pregnancy phase, my 5 headboard pillows are in place, then this thing. It comes with a "head" piece that serves as my lumbar support in front of a regular pillow wall that I recline against. The pages are then flipped onto a stack of pillows and it's like a cradling effect that keeps me in place. I then throw a big fluffy blanket over it so it fills in any little areas that need a little touching up and it's easy to move the headrest around for sleeping or watching TV. In this state, I can also turn onto my side, but at an angle of about 55 degrees. Now, in the final weeks of my pregnancy, I sometimes find myself preferring to have a mountain of pillows with the head of this thing AND the side acting as lumbar support to keep my back straight so I don't wake up with bruised ribs from a sleeping baby down there. The other side/arm of the pillow flexes and sits under my butt as if preventing me from sliding down. Or maybe it really is. I do not know. While all of these little tricks help me feel comfortable, they don't help calm a child with spasms or reduce urinary frequency, so overall my sleep is still terrible. But it might help me get a good 3 hours in the beginning. After that, it's just a game of "what kind of nest works best now". I didn't use anything like that with my first 3 kids. I didn't need it the first time. Maybe it would like for the 2nd It would be helpful for the 3rd And the 4th seems hopeless. I think I like this thing better when I'm not pregnant. And I thought about having 2 of these a few times but in the end I decided it works well for a basic support style and then add fluffy pillows and blankets to make your body melt. If I had to choose between different models and brands, I would buy these again.
