Enter the pregnancy pillow: a game-changer for expectant moms craving restful nights.  We’ll explore when to start using a pregnancy pillow, the benefits it brings, and why our offerings at Ninda Sleep Shop our Firm Pregnancy Pillow and Premium Gel Pregnancy Pillow might just become your new best friends. Plus, we’ll dive into why pairing them with our Pregnancy Pillow Cover is a must for the ultimate sleep experience.

When to Start Using a Pregnancy Pillow

There’s no strict rulebook on when to introduce a pregnancy pillow into your routine it’s all about what feels right for you. Many moms to be find them helpful as early as the first trimester, especially if they’re already struggling with sleep. But the second trimester, around 14-20 weeks, is when most start reaching for one. This is when your belly begins to grow, and sleeping on your back or stomach becomes less comfortable (and less recommended). By the third trimester, a pregnancy pillow can feel like a lifeline, easing the strain of a bigger bump and helping you stay cozy on your side a position doctors often suggest for better circulation.

The key? Listen to your body. If you’re waking up achy or tossing and turning, it’s time to give a pregnancy pillow a try.
