Pregnancy pillows are all the rage to help you get comfortable and sleep well in pregnancy, particularly in those last few months when insomnia is a real bear. While they sell big pregnancy pillows and small pregnancy pillows, pregnancy pillows that encircle you and pregnancy pillows that you lay on, the truth is - you don't need a pregnancy pillow.
That said, I think that pillows to help you sleep are a huge benefit. You can simply choose to use more of your normal bed pillows creatively or you can use a standard body pillow. The truth is, many of these pillows are exactly the same, minus the jacked up price for the word pregnancy tucked in the front.

I’m sure you are exactly right, Robin. And as you progress through a pregnancy, what it takes to make you comfortable changes. That means that you might love a pillow in your second trimester and hate it in your third. Better to stick to innovative ways of using standard pillows.
I agree, Robin. I bought a simple body pillow on sale at Kohls… I think I paid $4. It was the best!
I have just mentioned this pillow in my recently posted article “What you need to know when you are 13 to 16 weeks pregnant”! Read my article at: http://fromwomb2birth.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-you-need-to-know-when-you-are-13.html
