When to start using pregnancy pillow?
I'm finding it hard to get comfortable sleeping now that my belly is growing. I'm thinking of getting a pregnancy pillow, but I'm not sure when people usually start using them.

I'm not pregnant yet but I've been researching these pillows! It seems like most people start using them in the second trimester, when their belly starts showing and side sleeping becomes a must. Is it really that comfortable?
Oh, I remember panicking about getting comfortable sleep! I started using my pregnancy pillow around 20 weeks, in my second trimester, when my bump started to get noticeable and sleeping on my back became impossible. Trust me, it's a lifesaver, you'll get used to it.
As soon as you start feeling uncomfortable while sleeping, usually around the second trimester when your belly grows. Don't wait too long, it's an investment in your sleep quality. Get a C or U-shaped one, they offer great support.
Generally, women start using pregnancy pillows in their second trimester, often between 16 to 20 weeks, when discomfort begins to increase. It provides crucial support for the back and growing belly, especially for side sleeping. While personal comfort dictates the exact timing, a quick chat with your gynaecologist can also be helpful.
Jab pet thoda dikhne lage aur sone mein dikkat ho, tabhi shuru kar do. Maine toh kareeb 4-5 mahine se use karna shuru kar diya tha. Bahut araam milta hai. Koi mahanga wala hi lena zaroori nahi, jo aapko comfortable lage, woh le lo.

I was researching this too and got so confused if I needed one early or later. But everyone said as soon as you feel uncomfortable, usually in the second trimester, around 18-20 weeks. Don't overthink it like I did, just get one that feels good for you!
