I thought about buying a pregnancy pillow for my entire first pregnancy. I was uncomfortable pretty much from the beginning – tossing and turning – wedging pillows behind my back and in between my knees to seemingly no avail. I think I used four or five pillows every night. My husband joked during that time that he couldn’t even see me behind the giant mound of pillows.
I wish I had known about the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow.
When I first saw the pillow, I wondered if it could actually work. After all, it looks nothing like other pregnancy pillows on the market. Most pillows out there are massive “body pillows” that you curl around your body – contortionist-style. But the Utterly Yours pillow is compact, just “two simple triangles with distinct densities that offer balanced support to the back and abdomen.”
You may know that sleeping on your side – specifically on your left side – is often recommended by doctors as it takes pressure off the back, keeps the uterus off the liver, and optimizes blood flow to the baby. The Utterly Yours pillow keeps me comfortably positioned on my side throughout the night…and it even allows me to lean back a little bit on the strong support and shift positions if my side starts to get “tingly.” It really does help and now I never want to sleep without it!
Available in six different color combinations, the pillow is a great find for pregnant moms! And – if you happen to be cosleeping with a toddler or younger child for part or all of the night – you’ll absolutely love the “smallness” of this pillow because it still allows you to snuggle with your little one throughout the night.

Oh, I need one of these pillows right now! I’ve just entered my third trimester and I’m so uncomfortable laying down! I especially like the Brown and Pink Swirls pattern in a size small. Great find — thanks!
I too am having a hard time sleeping at night due to being pregnant. I would love to give this pillow a try.
I remember how hard it was to sleep with my body pillow and would love to try this out for my next pregnancy. The fabric choices are all great also.
I had one of those other pregnancy pillows for my first pregnancy and while it helped me feel more comfortable, it also took up most of the bed! I would love to try this one out next time! Thanks!
please, count me in. thank you ;)
I wish I would have had one of these with my first pregnancy. I had the HUGE curly body pillow and although it worked well, my husband had about 6 inces to sleep on with our full size mattress!! :) This will work out much better with pregnancy #2.
Oh, I could use one of these now. I’ve been having a hard time getting comfortable — sounds like this might do the trick!
I’d love to have one of these for my nest pregnancy. Especially if my husband ends up deploying while I’m pregnant (a distinct possibility). I often use him as back support at night while pregnant!
Having a college student at the same time I’m 5 mos pregnant has really complicated the sleep situation. Waiting up, worrying and suffering restless legs and carpel tunnel syndrome all at the same time!
love it!
Brown and Pink Swirls pattern WHAT A GREAT ITEM
Such a simple idea, such huge results! I love that it folds into a box when you aren’t using it, so cute!
The sad, sad panda change purse is so adorable it hurts. I love that in her item description she writes, “I’m a sad panda… won’t you adopt me?”. haha, that is just great.
I am a subscriber :)
oops, I posted on the wrong blog, that is what happens when you are addicted to blogs and you have about twenty open at one time…sorry about that :(
My beautiful daughter-inlaw is in her second trimester and is teaching Kindergarten. This pillow would be so wonderful and would help her fulfill her goal of being able to teach until her due date.
My daughternlaw could use this pillow
wow, I use three pillows right now and still can’t sleep well with this huge belly, I would love to try this one out!

I’ve been using my regular body pillo, which works ok. But it does take up so much room in the bed that my dh refers to it as my “replacement husband”. So…something more compact would definitely be worth a try!
enter me please
This is great! I love that it doesn’t take up so much room. Lately I’ve been falling asleep on my side but I wake up to find myself on my stomach! (I am a stomach sleeper when not pregnant.) Apparently my belly isn’t big enough yet to prevent me from doing this but boy does it hurt when I wake up.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I want one of these, but I’m way more interested in the breast pillow! As a 34G, it was so hard for me with my son to learn how to nurse, and for the first several weeks, both hands were almost always occupied while nursing (one on him, one on my breast). What a neat invention!
Great giveaway.
what an awesome set of pillows… I’m not even through my first trimester yet and I’m already having sleeping issues again… I’d love to win this!
i have a snoogle pillow & it’s nice, but it’s so big it’s like having the great wall of china between me and my husband. this seems like a great, compact pillow to try.
I would love one of these. Looks comfy.
this is my first pregnancy and I like many others have trouble sleeping at night. I have always been a belly sleepper so this will help me to slop trying to sleep on my belly. thanks
I wonder if this works better than my body pillow. I would love to give it a try.
Deide
Would love to win this for my gf.
we hope to start trying for a child soon and this would be great
Oh my I have never seen these before. I am having circulation problems on my left leg. Its going purple. Thankfully not tingly, or numb…just having a harder time going back up from what I understand. The OB & vascular dr described it as getting water up a hill. So its been a painful 3 weeks. Seen 5 different doctors all to learn that this is normal in pregnancy.
I would love to have one of these! My husband and I are trying for baby #3 right now. I was given a pregnancy pillow when I was pregnant with my first and it was horrible and didn’t work well at all. So, I just gave up with my second one and dealt with being uncomfortable. I would love to try something that actually works!
i would love to win this and im so thankful that they had made a product for the pregnant women !
this sounds amazing
I like the Coriander Seagreen & Aqua.. in Small
Sounds like a good thing to have being Pregnant
neat pillow.
looks like a great pillow I sure could use one.
This looks great! I am in the early second trimester of my second pregnancy and am not looking forward to bringing out the body pillow again. My husband refers to it as the ‘other man!’ This on the other hand is nice and small. Perfect.
Thanks for the giveaway!
this does look great!
Oh man, I had a rough time when I was ginormously pregnant (which was, like, the entire time). This looks like it would have been great! My hubs complained about the amount my boyfriends (read: pillows) took up in our bed, too. If I win I can’t decide whether I want to keep it in case I have another baby or give it away as a great gift!
I’m trying to figure out what all I need now that I’m pregnant and I heard these work great!
WHAT A GREAT IDEA! I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS!
I like the pink and brown one. I am in need of this i just started this and they told me if i got pregnant again i would have the worst pregnancy ever. So i think i would great appreciate it and would use it te whole time. Thanks for teh chance of winning this pillow.
This looks so cool- I love the idea of a pregnancy pillow that is actually compact!
super cool, i would love to try this -my body pillow is so big and bulky!

That looks great! I’m expecting and would love to win this!
I too had the pile of pillows around me while I was pregnant. This pillow would be great for next time!
I would love to win the brown swirls and pink pillow in a large. I desperately needed one with my first child. Our 2nd is due this summer….and I’ve recently suffered complications from IVF which made me feel 8 months pregnant…would have come in handy then! :)

Ever since being pregnant I have had trouble sleeping without an extra pillow. This would be heaven! Especially since we’re trying for another one! ;)
My sister is 6 months pregnant with her 1st child and needs something for her giant belly.
My daughter sure could use this pillow …I wish they had these when I was pregnant…

my sister and sister-in-law are pregnant, so this would be nice as a gift for one of them
We’re waiting for God to bless us with another one (anyday now would be great.. hee,hee).. so when I do get pregnant I would love to have this. They always look so good but I have never invested in one with my other pregnancys. Thanks.

This looks so comfortable!
I remember being so uncomfortable while trying to sleep during the last 2 trimesters of my last pregnancy. I can’t go through that again. I would love to win this pillow! Make me happy,PLEASE!!!
Wow! I would love one of these right now. I am pregnant and miserable. So difficult to find a comfortable spot in bed.
This would be great!
This sounds wonderful

This looks so comfy!
Thanks

I wish i had this on my first child…might have prevented a lot fo discomfort and sciatic pain. I wanna get it this time around.
Oh, oh, oh, relief for this achin’ back. I didn’t know about those pillows until now, and I’m DEFINITELY interested.
Thanks!
I did not even know that such a pillow exists! I just found out that I am pregnant, but this will come in handy soon!
This is smart! My best friend just found out she is pregnant, this would be nice to give to her. She probably would thank me a million times for helping her in this time of need (for her back that is)
I just found out I am pregnant, I am looking forward to body changes, but am not looking forward to trouble sleeping at night. This would be nice, thank you!
I have one of the lunalullaby pillows/nursers and love it! It will go from a great sleep pillow to a nursing pillow once baby arrives. If anyone is currently going without a sleep pillow, I strongly encourage you to get one. I had used a regular pillow between my knees before the lunalullaby, and it really is no comparison. Would love to win this sleep pillow/positioner for a friend who is due a couple months after me and just getting to the stage of needing a little sleep support! Thanks for the chance.
Oh this is so what I need. I have a horrible condition where my hips pop out of place during pregnancy. I’m only 3 months and already having symptoms. This would be so much more helpful and comfortable than wedging pillows. I hope I win!
My daughter that just found out she is pregnant will need this I know looks great. Thanks.
PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY :)
My sis is expecting her first, I’d love to win this for her.
