Having just been through three pregnancies back to back, I can tell you I would not have survived without  comfortable pregnancy pillows. I actually have two, and used one on each side during pregnancy so I could roll easily from one side to another without having to lug heavy pillows around.

As an added benefit, a maternity pillow is also comfortable and beneficial after pregnancy. You can curl up to it on the couch, in bed or while lounging on the floor. You'll find other family members are surprised at just how useful a maternity pillow is. In fact, I refer to mine as my "multi purpose" pillow.

There are almost too many side effects of pregnancy to list in one article. There is the heartburn, the indigestion, constipation and morning sickness.

Maternity pillows are a must have item if you are having trouble sleeping. Difficulty sleeping is quite common during pregnancy. In fact, hardly a woman goes through pregnancy without reporting having some trouble sleeping. This tends to get worse the farther along in your pregnancy you are. Many people mistakenly suggest that pregnant women only start losing sleep after they have their baby.

As a mother of three, I can tell you this is definitely not the case. For many, sleep deprivation begins right in the middle of pregnancy. You see, once pregnant and well within your second and third trimester, you'll soon find how difficult sleeping at night can be. There are a host of reasons mothers to be find sleeping challenging during the latter months of pregnancy. For one, hormones often wreak havoc on a woman's sleep cycles.

Even worse, you may find you do get a good night's sleep only to wake up multiple times throughout the night because you have to pee.

You'll also find as your belly expands you have more difficulty getting comfortable at night. You may find tossing and turning more the norm than restful sleeping.

What's funny is most pregnant women often here the phrase "get your sleep while you can" during pregnancy. This can seem almost mind-boggling when you are struggling to simply find a comfortable sleep position in the evenings.
