Pregnant women have a right to complain about their aching backs. If you were carrying those additional pounds in front, you’d complain too!
There are many pregnancy pillows on the market, each designed for a different type of support for the pregnant woman.
The WondaWedge, developed by a physiotherapist for proper back support, allows the mother-to-be to set her own level of support by inflating or deflating.
The WondaWedge used as a Maternity Wedge Pillow is a lightweight, inflatable triangular pillow with a permanently attached mat, offering three different sitting or reclining positions. Made of ‘sueded’ vinyl, it’s easily hand washable, and stows away in a small space when not in use. When deflated, the WondaWedge fits nicely into luggage for travel.
Whether relaxing in bed or on the sofa, the WondaWedge provides a level of back support for pregnant women that bed pillows and formed foam pillows cannot match.
As a sleep aid, the WondaWedge can be used in the reclining position – allowing better breathing, or reduction of acid reflux/heartburn – a common side effect of pregnancy. Tucked into the small of the back, the WondaWedge can also be used for side-sleepers, to discourage sleeping on the back.
It’s also a great back support pillow for those women who breast feed in bed, perhaps while recuperating from a difficult delivery.
