Bump Ahead! My Brest Friend Maternity Pillow

This event is brought you by our exclusive event sponsor: A Mother’s Boutique!

Although I think pregnancy bellies are adorable (honestly! they make me smile because they are full of new life!), the down-side is… they keep expecting mamas from sleeping well.

I’m one of those pregos whose belly sticks WAY out, and since this is my second pregnancy, I popped out quickly, and it’s just gonna get bigger! So sleep is already getting difficult. Add to that I am typically a stomach sleeper… and this mama is getting very little rest!

A must-have for pregnant moms is a body pillow to position yourself during sleep. Trust me, my first pregnancy I tried to make do with shoving extra pillows everywhere, but they pop out just when you’ve gotten comfortable! It’s better to use a maternity pillow specially designed for this phase of life!

My Brest Friend sent me their 3-in-1 Body Pillow to help me sleep, and it’s been fantastic. Streamlined and lightweight, it takes up little room in the bed, and is easy to maneuver in the middle of the night!

There’s a rounded top for your head (I actually tuck it between my shoulder and neck and keep using my regular pillow). The bottom supports your hips/legs, especially when your belly gets bigger – it’s very uncomfortable to have your top leg just hanging out in space so having a pillow between your knees really helps!

Then there’s the belly wedge to support a growing tummy. To be honest, I find the wedge to be a bit hard, but maybe it’ll feel better once I have more belly to support? For now, I just flip the pillow so the wedge is facing away from me and snug the soft pillow part under my stomach. Works fine for me like that!

As you can see, there are many ways you can adjust this pillow to suit your needs. And I’ll say it again, mamas, you need all the sleep you can get right now, because you probably won’t be getting much later!

My Brest Friend is the maker of the first pillow specifically designed for breastfeeding (more on that pillow at a later date!). They’ve since expanded their line to include a variety of nursing pillows, maternity/body pillows, nursing stools, and other accessories for new and expectant moms! All their products are created with safety and function in mind! Keep up with My Brest Friend on Facebook!
