I am so excited to share this product with you today. If you are pregnant, or have ever been pregnant, I am sure that you can attest to the fact that sleeping can be a nightmare.
Even though I am barely showing at this point, sleeping for me is SO uncomfortable. On top of that, I have been trying to get into the practice of sleeping on my side for the past month or so. No matter how hard I try, I wake up in the middle of the night on my back. If I do stay on my side, my back starts to hurt.
When I came across the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow I was ecstatic. First and foremost, look how small it is!!! Most pregnancy pillows take up the whole bed. This one folds into a small little cube. I love this because I can take it with us when we travel! Utterly Yours was kind enough to send me the pillow to the right. I adore the pattern. So you are probably trying to figure out how this pillow works...
You unhook the button closure at the top of the cube. One side of the pillow has memory foam in it. That is the side that touches your belly. It is so soft and gives you support, but is extremely squishy and comfortable.
The other side is made from denser foam and goes against your back. This provides amazing back support.
There is a piece of fabric that connects the two sides of the cube together. Depending how big your belly is, you can leave the fabric stretched out (as seen above left) or you can use the velcro strip located on the bottom of it to attach the two cube sides together. Because I am small, I attach the two sides together so there isn't very much room between the two sides (above right).
You lay in between the two sides and tah-dah! You have a very practical, space saving pregnancy pillow. I cannot tell you how much better my back feels while using this pillow. I love that it feels like the two sides are hugging my body. I also am so happy that I can take it with me anywhere and that it doesn't occupy a ton of the bed. I do still use a pillow in between my legs, but this is a great solution for women who travel alot or who want to stay on their sides while they sleep, but don't want a gigantic pillow in bed with them!
I am so grateful to Utterly Yours for sending me this pillow. It has really helped me to sleep more comfortably and has provided a great travel solution throughout my pregnancy (:
