Pregnancy Stuff Review: Snoogle, My Love

I know, I know, it looks insane, has a ridiculous name and costs a whole bunch ($50 for us, but amazon now tells me that they're selling it for $38... gah) but really, ignore all that. Ignore it and buy this dear, sweet magical contraption called Snoogle. (I WISH someone would pay me to say that, but FYI, no one is.)

Do you see that? It's a neck pillow, a cuddley thing & hip/knee support, all at once! Her smile is no lie.

And a spooner!

Yes, if you share your bed with someone, they will probably be jealous, and I don't know if this is even possible if you co-sleep (definitely not with a little baby) - but dudes. Seriously. I have slept amazingly this pregnancy. Until I hit full term I slept through the night and had minimal pain, and I chalk up a whole lot of that to my Snoogle. Even now, when a giant child squishing my insides wakes me up constantly, It's not too bad, because I'm still so comfy (outside of my belly, that is.)

Before pregnancy, I always tried to sleep with pillows between my knees, but I'd wake up and the pillow would be on the floor or across the room, but the advantage of this huge thing is that it can't go anywhere! It does, actually, stay between your knees. Flipping over isn't as much of a hassle as I thought it'd be. A few times I do feel myself pulling the "tail" back up to me & away from my husband but it's not a big deal at all. The husband doesn't seem to mind, as I've caught him cuddling with it more than a few times!

I have never understood the difference between the wedges or the straight pillows marketed for pregnant folk & the normal pillows I've always tried (and failed) to use before. When I bought the Snoogle (at Babies R Us.. i had no patience for the mail..) the ladies were raving about it & saying how they never stopped using it after pregnancy. Unfortunately my husband then made me promise that I wouldn't use it long after baby but honestly, i'm not sure how my hips will take sleeping without it!

So for pregnant women, or non pregnant people in general, I definitely suggest the Snoogle. It's totally worth shelling out $50 $38 (argh!) for!

Have you tried a Snoogle? What do you think?
