I LOVE my new Snoogle! I'm now 19 weeks pregnant with my first AND second child ;) I am very uncomfortable without my Snoogle. I use this pillow under the covers and it's slim, not bulky or hot. Stays cool and supports my belly in any position, so I don't accidentally roll onto my back at night. So far, I've been using nightly since about 9 weeks and I've recommended it to all my pregnant friends.
I bought this at five months pregnant because 4 pillows including a body pillow was simply not working to keep me on my side or make me comfortable enough (and my pregnant belly isn't even that big compared to others). It has helped somewhat, but I am 28 weeks/7 months now and I still haven't slept through the night since I have been pregnant. HOWEVER, I cannot blame this on the pillow as I had insomnia issues before pregnancy....So I am presuming this is just an extension of that already existing problem and the pregnancy. Worth the $$? I am not so sure. I think it's really expensive for what it is...but the fact that it wraps around you and alleviates the need for 4-5 pillows versus three (including the Snoogle), has made going to be more comfortable. The reason I cannot use the Snoogle alone as some women have said they can is because I need a little more elevation on my head as the head part is softer than the leg area part and I need to feel firmness on my back to try to keep on my left side which I find so difficult all night.
SO all in all...I think it is a necessary purchase for pregnant women. We deserve to make ourselves as comfortable as possible. But it didn't work absolute wonders for me like some other lucky mothers-to-be. I WISH it had!
And on a practical note...at least you can still get use out of it post-natal as a feeding pillow. AND I must say it's a nice head to toe elevation while reading in bed too.
