From the time I put pillows under my shirt and checked out my profile in the mirror, I’ve always looked forward to being pregnant. ‘What a joyful experience being pregnant must be!’ I naively thought. And for the most part, it has been an amazingly wonderful journey. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to sleepless nights spent surfing the internet looking for answers to alleviate the multitude of stresses and anxieties that have plagued my mind over the last 9 months. As far as I’m concerned, any woman who claims to be pregnant and entirely worry-free is highly suspect. So from one neurotic pregnant woman to another, here are some ways to minimize that stress and truly enjoy the miracle of life.

Utterly Yours Pillow
During pregnancy, you’re bound to hear a lot of conflicting information and the best sleeping position is no exception. Don’t sleep on your back. Sleep on your left side, not the right. Uh oh! I woke up and I’m on my back! Did I hurt my baby? The answer, at least according to every doctor I asked (and I asked a bunch) is ‘no’, you didn’t hurt your baby and you would’ve woken up and adjusted if you were about to. But, to alleviate this irrational fear, try the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow. It folds up into a convenient square when not in use, and although my husband isn’t a big fan of the pillow (he likes to spoon), the pillow is compact, the fabrics from which to choose are fashionable and it offers a lot of support to your expanding belly, adjusting in size throughout your entire pregnancy.
