How to choose your Ultimate Sleep pillow
- Pregnancy - what to expect
- Back pain & overall discomfort
- Want a pregnancy & breastfeeding pillow
- Trouble sleeping on your side?
Lower back pain, leg cramps, muscle tension and aching joints. These are common symptoms that you would be expecting, especially if you are currently in the last trimester of your pregnancy. Your baby is growing rapidly and the additional weight and pressure of the baby you are carrying inside will put your back in great stress.
Try easing your symptoms with a good exercise programme and a good pregnancy posture. As much as you can, stand tall with your back straight and pelvis tucked under so that the weight of your baby is evenly distributed and supported by your thighs, buttocks and stomach muscles. Rest whenever you can, with your legs up for an hour or two each day.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, try taking a warm bath and a glass of milky drink before bed to help relax your body. Invest in a good pillow that will support your body and reduce your pains.
Remember! It is important that you get plenty of rest before the arrival of your baby.

If you are having a bad night of it in terms of your back, then you can flip your boomerang pillow behind your back, this will provide you with back support as well as a sleeping surface and maintain that all important side sleeping position.
