Pillows are made in many special ways to ensure comfort for all people engaged in different activities. This is because the manufactures of these pillows know just too well the dangers that can result from wrong body posture or positioning. In this regard therefore there is a type of a pillow called the wedge pillow that is specially designed for pregnant mothers.
It aims at improving the sleep patterns that are associated with the changes that are taking place in the mother's body a a result of the developments that are taking place in her body. During the last trimester for example, most mothers-to-be find it quite challenging to sleep on their backs because of the poor blood flow and they have difficulties breathing. Sleeping on the stomach is purely out of question and thus you find that they have only a limited number of comfortable positions, thanks to the large dimensions of the belly.
A wedge pillow is designed in a way such that it has two parts, one of which supports the belly in a side ways position and the other is is created for the comfort of the the lower back area by reducing the pressure around the coccyx bones. One interesting thing to note about the pillow is that it allows for adjustment of its size with much ease, whether on the bed or on the floor, depending on the size of the belly.
The wedge pillow also allows you the comfort of elevating your legs to a comfortable position as you relax. Note that the use of this pillow does not end at birth because you can use it with the baby too for its correct positioning. Wash it with the necessary disinfectants and detergents to keep your baby from allergic reactions.
