So, gentlemen, if your partner is pregnant, she will probably need a maternity pillow at some point. The proper pillow will help support her baby belly and her back. It can be extremely difficult for her to find a comfortable sleeping position, so this is something important during the pregnancy stages. You cannot put a price on a good night’s sleep.

The best maternity pillow will ultimately depend on personal preference. For my wife, we got a BabyBub pillow. This pillow has a butterfly design with two wedge shaped pillows that rest on each side of the body. The design prevents her from rolling onto her back, and helps reduce pain issues with the hip and back. For my wife, she had a hard time laying on her right side. Our baby seemed to hate this position and he would start kicking uncontrollably anytime she laid on the right side. By using this pillow, she was able to lay on her left side, and stay their without the fear of falling back.

This product was truly a godsend and worth the 60+ dollars we spent on it. Prior to this, my wife could not sleep at all. However, after getting the BabyBub pillow, she finally got some restful sleep. I believe we got it around the five or six month mark, but each individual is different. Of course, I am not telling you that all sleep problems will go away. There is always general discomfort that comes with pregnancy which disturbs a woman’s sleep patterns; especially when that baby starts kicking in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, some women will deal with more problems than others. That being said, a good maternity pillow can be a life changer. So, if I had to recommend a product, BabyBub is the way to go. However, do your research, ask around, and determine what the best fit will be for your partner.
