Health Tip: Choosing a Pregnancy Pillow
(HealthDay News) -- Sleeping comfortably can be a struggle during pregnancy, especially in the later months. A special pregnancy pillow may help you get a better night's rest.
Here's advice from the National Sleep Foundation:
Start using extra pillows that you already have. Adjust their placement in different ways to find out if you get the support you need. Put a pillow between your knees when you sleep on your left side. Place another pillow behind your back to keep you from rolling to the right. Place another pillow beneath your belly for extra support. If these suggestions don't work, shop for a pregnancy pillow that provides support in just the right spots. There are long body-length pillows or those that fit a specific area.-- Diana Kohnle
