When to start sleeping with a pregnancy pillow
How to use a Pregnancy Pillow
for this video I dressed like a ninja so
that there was good contrast between my
body and the background today I want to
talk to you about the number one thing
that I was recommended when I became
pregnant a pregnancy pillow never by the
partner the partner was never like oh my
wife really loved the pregnant partners
are not huge fans of the pregnancy
pillow but pregnant women everyone told
me I needed to go when I didn't
understand why it was so great but it is
so I got one and I got what I mean that
my younger sister gave it to me as a
hand-me-down and will probably want it
back when I'm done being pregnant I'm
gonna go over how to use a pregnancy
pillow because they can be a little it's
a whole nother person in your bed it can
be a little complicated it can be a
little let's just start there's about
seven things that you need to think
about two pillow placements basically
there's actually no good wall references
that I want to use so let's just call it
this pillow positioning is is it's when
it's between you and your partner you've
got your space you've got the wall or
the pillow and then you've got your
partner space to clearly define areas
this was not a fan fave the other option
is called a hurdle or a high jump and
this is when the pillow is on the
outside of the bed so that unit partner
can still snuggle and this is where you
basically need to be at high school or
college athlete to fling your body up
and over this pillow 30 times a night
when you have to pee and you still want
to cuddle with your partner talk about
how you can't believe that you guys are
pregnant you're gonna have a baby and
this is okay in the first trimester you
don't feel ginormous it's a game over in
the third trimester I'm not gonna fling
my belly over this pillow three times a
night so that we can cuddle so once
you've got your pillow placement decided
then you get to decide do you want to
face the pillow or face away from the
pillow let's start with facing the
pillow this is called the tree hugger
your arm is underneath and on top you're
hugging this thing your knees and your
ankles elevated and your other leg
underneath I like to call this position
the mistress because this is going up
and over giving you basically a big hug
your arms are wrapped around it just
like hugging this thing and you just
feel like you're cheating on your
partner who's right there they can see
everything that's going on here
can get a little weird let's build on
that a little bit once you've mastered
the Treehugger which doesn't take much
time because this is like the best
position that you can lay in you can add
the double under and the double unders
where you invite your partner to come on
under here so that you can snuggle set
yeah let's see we can get Seth to
demonstrate this we come here
can you come demonstrate the double in
there with me double under meaning we
both get under this rainbow here double
under both of us are under fairness Seth
loves this one this is ideal positioning
for your knee and ankle for your
relationship the only downside is that
you're now monkey in the middle between
your mistress and your partner and you
have to channel your inner high school
college athlete to hurdle up and out to
go to the bathroom pick your battle here
the other option is facing away from the
long pillow and this is called sack of
potatoes because you have to fling it up
and over your shoulder like a sack of
potatoes you get here when you just you
just need to flip over so five minutes
later 500 grunts later you've made it to
sack of potatoes and you're just resting
the segment there's a little mascara
pregnancy hormones are let's build on
this the next one is called the tail top
you need to somehow grab the bottom pull
it up and do the tail tuck tail tuck is
ideal for the light positioning to be
good for the hips get your knee and your
ankle elevate it when you get to the
second potatoes or the tail tuck you're
now giving your partner some good hot
breath because your neck is up like this
is not all tuck it's it is up because
you've got this support all the way
around and you're just breathing on your
partner before this was just kind of
gross now it's like don't breathe your
potential Corona breath into my face
please
you're like roll over because it takes
you five seconds not five minutes to
roll over and I'm not really feeling the
Treehugger right now lastly there's the
it's basically where you abandon your
mistress you abandon your comfort you
abandon your alignment you abandon your
logic just so you can snuggle with your
partner back here and this pillow can be
ticket still be here or it could be on
the floor you just get rid of it you're
just not having it pillows dead to you
the third trimester that's where I am
mistress is on the floor I can't anymore
who's this hair it got all crazy with my
pregnancy pillow tell me which of these
you used for your pregnancy pillow share
this video with somebody that
recommended you get a pregnancy pillow
for pregnancy or your partner I am four
weeks away from my due date wish me luck
