Boy do I not miss pregnancy. Both of mine were terrible from the very start to their bloody conclusions on operating tables at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. They definitely didn’t come naturally to me and the thought of carrying another person inside me made me feel anxious and uncomfortable. I can honestly say those 40 weeks felt more like 40 years.
As with most pregnant women, sleeping was a royal pain. Not only was I finding it harder to drop off, and more difficult to sleep through Craig’s snoring, I simply couldn’t master how to not sleep on my front. I once quipped during my original review for Theraline that I might as well have changed my name to Goldilocks given the sheer number of maternity pillows I tried. Theraline was simply the best one by far, so much so I still use mine for general R&R to this day.
The Original Theraline Original Pregnancy & Baby Feeding Pillow has a unique filling made of millions of sand-like micro beads. This means the pillow naturally moulds to the shape of your body, no matter what position you are in. It’s long, at 190cm, so supports your entire body and provides relief for legs, belly and a stressed back, yet also the head and feet. Encased in the softest mercerized extra-soft twill or jersey cotton, it’s a super snuggly bedtime companion that will leave you wondering what on earth you ever did without it.
As you can distribute the micro beads to your liking, you can make the head bit as firm or soft as you like. I used mine much like the picture above and it replaced my regular pillow throughout my pregnancy. Cuddling this every night also kept me firmly on my side of the bed and relieved any anxiety I had about rolling onto baby. It’s also anti-allergenic, warm and breathable.
Post-pregnancy, it’s incredibly useful for those with any post-partum injury (c-sections for example) and also for breastfeeding. Whether you prefer to feed baby on your lap, lying down or “rugby-ball” style, it works with you to provide somewhere comfortable for baby, cocooning him or her to mimic mum’s womb. It can also washed at 60°C should you have any nursing misadventures.
If you’d like to bag your own, you can get one in a variety of styles for just £44.95 from Theraline’s online shop, or check out scores of other reviews by following them on Twitter and Facebook.
