I am 6 months pregnant now with my 2nd baby, I was ok for the first pregnancy, the backache was still not so bad. But it seem very bad this time, I am only into the 6th month, and I can hardly fall asleep at night. My lower back hurts especially, no matter what position I am. I am thinking of buying the body pillow as I have also read some where that is good for preg mother since it is not advisable to sleep on the back. I understand that your website do not sell it. I saw it in departmental store, the price is really high, all above $100. Is there anyway the bolster can do the trick instead?
The body pillow is designed specially to provide full body support, for the head, neck , shoulders, back and hip. The body pillows are designed to be able to contour around your body.
This is very useful in providing support for the back especially for pregnant mothers. It can support your belly and the back at the same time which is something a bolster cannot achieve.
It is not only useful during your pregnancy, but after pregnancy too. It can be used as a nursing pillow as well.
I definately find it a good investment for maintaining a good and healthy sleep for a happy pregnancy.
In my opinion, it ’s impressive and useful. Thank you.
