Boppy® Pregnancy Support Wedge in Stripe

It’s literally a short small wedge. A regular pillow would be better. There’s not enough umph to really support you.

Isn’t my fav to be honest. A firm thicker pillow would prob do just as well or BETTER.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Helpful for side sleeping, nice low profile -- definitely beats the giant pillows I was flopping back and forth with all night!

I used this wedge every day of my pregnancy. It was the exact support I needed for my work-from-home chair and I took it on airplanes and car rides throughout all my trimesters. So helpful to have something that fits so easily in a travel tote but provides tons and support and pain relief.

I'm only 24 weeks and have been using this pillow since I was about 18 weeks. I find it equally helpful using it behind me (to lessen the chance of me rolling over completely on my back) as well as under my bump (to provide support as I get bigger). I also use it for my back in the car or when sitting on a sofa that has a pretty deep seat and would cause me to otherwise slump back into it.

I really am trying to like it but I feel it puts to much pressure on my stomach whenever I lay on my side.

I purchased this with the side sleeping boppy pillow so I could choose when and how to use it. So far it has been great! Very versatile and comes in handy for sure while pregnant!

I first found this product in babies r us when I was about 5 months along with my 1st baby. I saw it & knew I had to have it because I had just developed this pain in my lower belly where my baby bump just felt heavy & I had to sit down to ease the uncomfortableness. As I got further along in my pregnancy & my belly got bigger & heavier, I had to lay down constantly to ease the weight of my belly. This little wedge was like PURE HEAVEN once I put it under my belly. I could FINALLY SLEEP! It eased the weight off of my back & I could finally sleep like I did before I was pregnant. It was a miracle! That little wedge was my best friend! Then, during the holidays, I received a second one from my husbands cousin who had her baby 6 months before I had mine & the two were PERFECT. The reason why I loved having the two wedges is because I don't like all these full size pillows stuffed around me when I was pregnant because I would get waaaaaayyyyyyy too HOT. The wedges gave me just enough support for my belly & my knees without making me too hot. Besides, your hot already just being pregnant. Right?! Finally, baby is born & I thought I'll save these for when I get pregnant with baby #2, nope, these were useful during the baby's first year as well! When my baby caught her 1st cold & we brought her into the pediatrician, the pediatrician said to elevate her mattress so she can sleep better at night & ease some of the cold symptoms. She suggested I put a rolled up towel under the mattress where her head is. Once I got home & tried it it just didn't seem to work the way I needed it to no matter how many different ways I folded or rolled up the towel. Getting fusturated, I opened my daughter's closet & (into light bulb), up in the shelf is, a gift from the pregnancy Gods,I see the Boppy wedges! I jump over the 3 towels I had laying on my daughter's bedroom floor, & ba BUMMMM! Magic! It's perfect! It raises the head of the mattress just enough so she gets some relief without it being all lumpy & without raising it too much to where I would worry she might roll to one side & bump her head on the rails of her crib. DA-DUNNNN, "I AM SUPER MOMMY"! Now, I'm pregnant with baby #2 & everything is perfect until I have a lunch scare that puts my on bed rest. My now 2 1/2 year old & I spend our days on my bed where we eat, nap & play all day. Bring out the Boppy wedges! They were not only fun to play with but we also used them to nap on & my daughter put them under her tummy just like mommy did. They were perfect because after all the playing, eating & sleeping we did with them we would unzip the cover & toss it in the wash. It ALWAYS came out perfectly & the best was that we would dry it normally with the rest of our clothes & we never had a problem. HORRAY, I'm now in my second triamester & I can go off of bed rest! The rest of my pregnancy was scary normal! My belly grew bigger during this pregnancy than it did with my first baby/pregnancy so back pain was an issue but have no fear, the Boppy wedge was here to save the day! HORRAY!!! Baby #2 is born & were done having babies...or so we thought. Intoduce, the "did I have a period this month" look. Low & behold, two pink lines! Omg, Baby #3 is on it's way! Have no fear, the faithful Boppy wedges will help me make it through! Surprise, surprise, baby #3 is a boy & boy oh boy was he growing (& so was I)! I gained so much weight even when I thought I was eating "healthy". If baby wanted a cookie, baby got a cookie & insert Boppy wedge under belly & knees for comfort through it all! With 2 kids, and 1 on the way, life was non-stop & I never left home without my Boppy wedges. These amazing wedges have held up through 3 pregnancies spanning over 7 years now. My advice, buy these wedges, you will thank me later. Ok, I've neglected my 3 children long enough.
