Baby Products Reviews of DEX Products Pregnancy Pillow PP-01
Customer Review: Just Ok for pregnancy, great for nursing
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this during 2 pregnancies, and found it somewhat useful as a belly prop when side-sleeping. With both kids, though I found it more useful while nursing a newborn. During the first few weeks/months of nursing, I would put this behind the baby's back to help prop him up on his side a little when he was too young to hold himself up, so that we could do the 'nursing while mom lies(sleeps) on her side' thing. It worked really well for this because it gives just enough of a 'prop' and is short enough that it only holds their mid-section & legs up close, but still allows their head to move freely. That way baby can still detach from nursing freely when they choose, and doesn't have their face shoved into mom in a way that could interfere with air circulation/breathing, but they don't fall over away from mom since they can't really hold themselves up normally, much less when relaxed from middle of the night nursing. Hope I've explained his so it makes sense!Customer Review: Perfect in the begining and then not much helped the larger I got!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a small frame and I was 5 full months pregnant when I got this. The more my baby stuck out, the worse my sleeping got. I bought this pillow and it didn't work the first few nights. I am 5'4" so it kinda sits under my ribs at one point.
I am a VERY VERY picky sleeper, so I decided to turn it at an angle... I took the thin edge and turned it slightly upwards. This way just the bottom thin corner was under my side and it works LIKE A DREAM! I have been sleeping GREAT! Wonderful pillow... LIFE SAVER!
However, the farter in my pregnancy I went the less it helped out. I have a sleep number and I am constantly changing the number (thank goodness I have this option available), and I use two pillows now and they help, but it is no longer the LIFE SAVER it once was in the early stages. Still a great pillow. Lasted the whole pregnancy. If I could change my rating I would go down to 4 stars.
Customer Review: Could NOT sleep- now I can!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to pipe in here with 5 stars! I was a stomach sleeper before becoming prego and was having a horrible, miserable time trying to fall alseep besides getting comfortable enough to do so. Then I would wake up becasue my back hurt or I was on my back! My friend said that she had a "wedgie" pillow and she was going to loan it to me! Thank goodness I took her up on it! Do give it a few days to get use to it but I'll tell you- the moment I tucked that pillow between my belly and the bed- I was a HAPPY camper! It is like you are sleeping on your tummy. I then put a normal pillow between my legs and I'm off to dreamland. The pressure is taken off of you back and stomach as you can 'lean' into the Wedge. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and have been using it for 3 weeks and couldn't be happier. Treat yourself and get this pillow! Wish I would have found it earlier!!!!Customer Review: Only thing I MUST HAVE in order to sleep
Summary: 5 Stars
At 8 1/2 months pregnant, I've been using this pillow for 3 months. Before buying it, I'd tried every pillow in the house, but, like Goldilocks, I found one to be too small (feathers mushed down under belly's weight) and one to be too big (standard bedpillows and toss pillows were like boulders under there). This one turned out to be JUST RIGHT. The best thing about it is that you can turn it on a diagonal or push it in or out to allow for changing weight distribution. I've developed DSP (separation of the pelvic joint) and this pillow is the only thing that allows me to sleep in any sort of comfort. I can sometimes go without the knees pillow, and sometimes without the upper arm pillow, and sometimes without the back pillow, but I cannot sleep without my Pregnancy Pillow Deluxe under my growing baby!
Buy one! You'll be glad you did!
Customer Review: After THREE pregancies-could not live without this!
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a small little item that can change the whole outlook of your pregnancy, through better sleep. I purchased this pillow with my first pregnancy in 1997 and quickly discovered what a tiny "must-have" that no pregnant woman should be without. I had tried regular pillows, 'body' pillows and other, more expensive 'sleep' pillows, to no avail. They are too bulky under the tummy and make it feel 'crammed' instead of 'supported'. This graduated wedge is all you need to support your growing tummy at night, because you can adjust how much support you want with it by putting it closer or farther away from your belly.
I am 8 months into my third pregnancy (I did purchase a new one for this pregnancy, but not because my old one 'wore out', I think I gave it away) and would not sleep a night without it! A Pregnancy MUST-HAVE!!
