How Do You Use a Maternity Pillow?
Use a maternity pillow to support the parts of your body that feel more comfortable with cushioning while resting. Its position depends on the pillow’s shape and your preferences.
Start with side resting
- Place the pillow on the bed and settle alongside it or between its sides.
- Position a section near your belly or behind your back for comfortable support.
- Place the lower section between your knees if that feels helpful.
- Adjust the head support so your neck feels comfortable, using your usual head pillow if needed.
Make small adjustments rather than wedging yourself tightly into place. Follow your clinician’s advice about pregnancy sleep positions or specific symptoms. This is an adult comfort product; do not use it as an infant sleep surface.
