Pregnancy Pillows Uses for Expecting or New Mothers

Mothers often turn to a pregnancy pillow during maternity when they begin to have trouble sleeping or resting. And everyone knows that getting the proper amount of rest during pregnancy is vitally important to the health of both baby and mom. But unfortunately leg cramps, back pain and other related aches and pains can keep expecting mothers awake at all hours of the night.

Pregnancy pillows can help ease many of these symptoms by alleviating the tension and stress caused by lying down while pregnant. The extra support for your knees and back help create a more natural sleeping posture and make resting much easier.

Pregnancy Pillows Help with Sleep

Although women often sleep more during their first trimester, during the second and third trimesters it is often more difficult for pregnant women to get the sleep they need. This is largely due to the difficulty in finding a comfortable position, leg cramps, and back aches that come as the fetus grows in size and the mother adjusts to a new shape and larger sized body.

• Pregnancy pillows make it easier to find that comfortable position. By the second and third trimester, sleeping on one’s stomach is no longer an option, and sleeping on one’s back is not as safe for the growing baby. A pregnancy pillow allows the mother to find comfort when adjusting to sleeping on her side.
• Pregnancy pillows also offer a way to ease leg cramping and back pains by offering support and alignment for the back, legs, and hips. This can ease pressure on the joints, lessening the pain that can interrupt sleep.

Back Pain is Eased with Pregnancy Pillows

Back pain is a major problem for pregnancy women, as their bodies adjust to a changing center of gravity and added weight in the abdominal region. Pregnancy pillows provide the support necessary to relax these tight muscles, reducing the pain and discomfort both immediately, while the mother is relaxing on her pregnancy pillow, and throughout the day, as the pain is not exacerbated by constantly strained muscles.

Pregnancy Pillows Can Also Double as a Nursing Pillow

If you are like most people and seeking extra value in today’s economy - Luna Lullaby offers a great solution that will let you use your pregnancy pillow for other activities with your newborn. The Bosom Baby is a versatile “3 in one pillow” that can be used as a pregnancy pillow, used for nursing or bottle feeding and can even serve as a safe spot for tummy time with older babies.

• Pregnancy Sleeping Pillow: Sleeping on your side is often a preferred sleep position because it takes the pressure off of a pregnant mother’s abdomen. However this side position can create stress on the hips and knees – a problem fully fixed by the Bosom Baby when used as a pregnancy pillow.
