Sleep and rest easier with the Dentons Pregnancy Pillow. During pregnancy, it is recommended that women sleep on their side. In the latter stages, the weight of the baby actually twists the spine and exerts more than the normal pressure on surrounding muscles. The result is back pain and severe discomfort. Sleeping or resting with the Dentons Pregnancy Pillow, taking the weight of the baby, is not only more comfortable and relaxing, but it also allows the back muscles to relax, thus reducing back pain. When lying on the side, the pillow is placed under the tummy where the specially contoured shape will gently support the weight of the baby and take the strain off the back.
