Pregnancy pillow recommendations
I’m having my surgery October 22 and I’m looking into pregnancy pillows to hopefully help with sleeping comfortably. I’m a side sleeper and have an extremely hard time sleeping on my back.
In August I had a bilateral salpingectomy and was supposed to have an ablation but due to complications they were unable to perform the ablation, and instead of it being done laparoscopically, they had to open me up. This resulted in a perforated uterus and a much longer healing process.
I used a wedge pillow under my knees and that helped, but I was unable to sleep on my side for almost a month. I’ve seen people recommend pregnancy pillows to help with that so I purchased the pillow in the first picture. It’s really comfortable but very heavy so I won’t be able to lift it up in order to roll out of bed. I was looking into getting a different type and found the second one pictured. Has anyone used something similar to that, and how did it work out for you?
I really want to be comfortable but don’t want to keep spending money on products that may not be helpful, especially since I won’t have a need for it when I’m recovered.
Any recommendations you have would be very much appreciated and even better if you have links to things you used. Thanks! 😊
