- I used one of those full body pillows that I got at my local Filenes (a
- major Boston department store) for about 49$. I would check with the
- linens department of your local department store, and they all seem to
- carry them here. If not, the Right Start catalog had them for a while.
- You might call them and see if they still do.
-
- Personally, I didn't like the pillow that much later in my pregnancy. In
- the second trimester I thought it was great, but in the last trimester
- I was just so huge, and I needed a variety of pillows of different
- sizes and thicknesses to prop up the various body parts. Mostly I
- found that a few cheap foam pillows from Marshalls stuck between my
- legs and under my belly did the trick. But then again, who slept
- much during the last trimester. Most of my nights were spent walking
- to and from the bathroom :-).
