The patented Dreamgenii Pregnancy Pillow is Recommended by Midwives across the UK and is recognised as the only specifically designed pregnancy pillow to adequately support back, bump and knees at the same time without taking up all of the room in the bed.
It encourages you to lie on your left side which is the best position for mother and baby (but is just as comfortable on your right by passing the leg support through the back of your knees) and gently prevents you from rolling on to your back during your sleep (which can restrict bloodflow to your baby).
Using the Dreamgenii Maternity Pillow from about 20 weeks pregnant, can also encourage your baby to adopt the optimal birth position which can mean a shorter and less painful labour. The dreamgenii pregnancy pillow used as a breastfeeding support, is designed to support your back during feeding and keep the baby at the correct height and position for breastfeeding.
To achieve the best night's sleep from your Dreamgenii pregnancy support pillow:
- Lay the Dreamgenii pregnancy pillow flat on to your mattress with the leg support cushion to the right
- Lie on your left side on the Dreamgenii pillow with the quilted pad under your middle and the back support cushion fitted snugly into the small of your back. Ensure it is firmly in place.
- Pull the bump support cushion inwards gently towards and against your bump
- Pass the leg support through your knees to support your upper leg
- The Dreamgenii pregnancy support pillow has been designed to allow you to turn over without having to turn the whole pillow over. Simply turn over onto your right within the pillow (leaving the quilted pad in place) and pass the leg support through the back of your knees to achieve the same level of support. Only minor adjustments are required to the left and right cushions to achieve a comfortable continuation of your night's sleep.
To use the Dreamgenii pregnancy support pillow for feeding
- Sit comfortably in a chair
- Position the leg support comfortably into the small of your back leaving the back and bump support cushions in front of you
- Fold the back support cushion around and under the bump support cushion to achieve a cradle shape in which to place your baby
- Place another pillow under your arm if you require extra support whilst feeding
