Maternity
Pillow
By the second trimester, the increasing weight
of the baby and uterus makes it increasingly difficult for the mother
to sleep on her side and back for several reasons. Sleeping on the side
is uncomfortable and medically unsafe as well. It puts the full weight
of the uterus on a woman's back, intestines and inferior vena cava, resulting
in backaches, hemorrhoids, poor digestion, swelling of the extremities,
reduced circulation, breathing difficulties and even a drop in blood pressure.
Normal pillows are not of much help since they do not provide the correct
support.
Maternity
Body Pillow
Pillows usually act as head rests while sleeping
or act as back supports while sitting on a couch or chair. Maternity Body
Pillows are special pillows that support the entire body and are specially
designed to support a growing belly and the lower back. These pillows
are necessary to take care of the special requirements of the pregnant
women.
