Why Pregnant Women Should Own a Snoogle Body Pillow

The marvels of modern technology have created the Internet, the vacuum robot, electric cars and self-cleaning ovens, but one of the most amazing developments is the Snoogle body pillow for pregnant women. If you've ever been pregnant, then you know how difficult it can be to find a comfortable position, whether sitting, laying down or trying to sleep. The Snoogle body pillow is designed to support the back, neck and tummy when you need it most.

Made of 100% polyester fiberfill, the Snoogle body pillow comes with a removable, machine-washable cover at toysrus.com or can be purchased separately in different colors. I would recommend you purchase at least one extra cover because you'll want to use your Snoogle body pillow all night -- and perhaps all day!

The actual Snoogle body pillow is white, but the covers come in navy, mauve and mint swirl. Each cover is $19.99 plus tax, but will save you plenty of laundry. When you purchase a Snoogle, make sure you don't remove the cardboard insert inside the plastic see-through bag because it shows you pictures and descriptions of five different ways in which your Snoogle can be utilized to support various body parts.

While you are pregnant, the Snoogle body pillow can be used in three different ways:

1. Sleeping. While you sleep, you can wrap the Snoogle body pillow from under your neck, all the way around your back and between your legs. This keeps your spine in alignment and supports your neck. It can also help to eliminate the leg cramps that tend to come with all pregnancies. Later in pregnancy, it can also be useful to sleep with the Snoogle pillow wrapped around your belly so that instead of supporting your back, it supports your baby while you sleep.

2. Sitting. While you're sitting in a chair watching TV or reading, you can wrap the Snoogle body pillow around your waist to use as both back support and belly support. This makes sitting for long periods of time much more tolerable and gives you a sense of security.
