I honestly believe that the minute you find out you are pregnant - you need to buy or order (I would recommend Amazon - but does that really surprise you) a Boppy Pregnancy Pillow. It looks like a oddly shaped "C" but it is truly a "night savor"
While I didn't really struggle to sleep in my first few months, having one around would have made the transition much easier. It hits you one night that you are just no longer comfortable and honestly, that is the worst, longest and possibly one of the most uncomfortable nights of your life...its like no matter what you do you can't find a position that is comfortable. And its not because your belly is too big, I have been told that comes later, but because your body is changing and seriously just can't find a position that it can truly relax in.
There are several options out there for these pregnancy pillows - and I have honestly heard really good things about most of them. The two that stand out are the Boppy Body Pillow and the Snoogle. The snoogle is available at Bed Bath and Beyond (online) and runs about $45 with the 20% off coupon. The Boppy is available at places like Target, Babies R Us and Motherhood Maternity. However, I ordered mine (free shipping) off Amazon and it arrived two days later. And I will personally attest that my sleep has improved dramatically since bringing this pillow to bed with me.
