In my experience the BB hug me was the best and worth every penny. I dreaded spending that much on a pillow. But once I got to the third trimester and constantly got woken up with hip pain, I gave in and brought it as I saw such good reviews. I had been using the Aldi pregnancy pillow before that and instead of throw it away I started to use it behind me to stop me from rolling over and then I cuddled into the BB hug me. I didn’t wake up at all with hip pain as soon as I started using it.

Also we’ve used it everyday since my little one was born, as a cushion to feed him and sometimes to keep him upright after feeding to help with wind. He often fell asleep in it for daytime naps during early days as he had a lot of wind problems and seemed to not want to lay flat.

We still use it now (he’s 14 months) to give him his bedtime bottle.

Thanks for your reply I did see the bb hug me but was put off from the price, however I guess if you’ve had so much use out of it sounds like it was worth it x

Congratulations on your pregnancy. A pillow is one of the best investments you’ll make for a comfortable sleep especially as you get bigger. I bought a 12ft pillow from Amazon there are loads available and costs apx £40. I am a front/ side sleeper so having a long pillow that supports me on both sides has really helped. Good luck

Have a look on Amazon as you can get home delivery. I think eBay also sells similar stock. The only ones I found in store were in mamas and papas, was apparently a fantastic pillow but I felt it was just too small. They have them available online for delivery too so maybe worth a look :)

Hello I got a 9 foot U shaped pillow with a pillow case on eBay for £14.99 and that was fine. The U shape is good as if you turn onto your other side you don't need to move the pillow as well. It looks like it's £16.99 now from seller called discountfurnishing.

BBhugme hands down! So comfy and supportive. I still use it every day as a nursing pillow now that my daughter is here and 6 weeks old! It’s the best! Worth every penny! Xx
