Pregnancy Pillow Recommendations?

[AwakenedMama]

I'm about 5 months pregnant and have started to have aches in the sides of my belly, which I think are from how my big belly is laying and pulling when I'm sleeping on my side. I think it would go away if I could find a good pillow that will support my belly. (I have cured some hip pain by sleeping with a pillow between my knees at the advice of my masseuse.)

The issue is, I am still nursing and cosleeping with a 3 year old and my husband, so I need something that isn't going to keep my 3 year old from laying next to me and that doesn't take up the whole bed.

I've looked at this: http://utterlyyours.com/pregnancypillow.html - it looks really nice, but like it may push my daughter away.

Any experience/thoughts?

Thanks!

I've tried the Snoogle and the Boppy.... I honestly hated both, but I am very very picky about pillows. I can only get comfortable with huge extra firm pillows and even those are replaced often for losing their fluffiness. The preggo pillows I've bought lose their fluff WAY too quickly for me- they're like sleeping on wafers after a week and are too big for me to haul into bed for just my belly and legs. I ended up buying two smaller pillows for under my belly and between my knees... and gave the Boppy and the Snoogle to my cats to snuggle with.

I like my Comfort-U.
...mostly because you can flip from one side to the other, without having to flip the whole pillow around, under the covers. Drawback: it's pretty pricey. I plan on being pregnant several more times, so for me, it's worth it.

I just purchased several cheap normal sized pillows and arranged them around me how I felt comfortable. I think it worked out better than a big pregnancy pillow that keeps getting in the way.
