PERFECT POSTURE: THE SECOND TRIMESTER
The second trimester is often called the "golden period" of pregnancy—morning sickness starts to ease, energy levels pick up, and your growing bump begins to take shape. But with all this change comes a few new challenges, like pelvic discomfort, ligament pain, and the ongoing quest for a good night’s sleep. That’s where your Cushy Puff Pregnancy Pillow comes in, offering soft, adjustable support to keep you comfortable through it all.
PELVIC PAIN & LIGAMENT STRAIN
As your baby grows, your body produces more of the hormone relaxin, which loosens ligaments in preparation for birth. This is great for delivery but not so great for stability—it can leave your pelvis feeling wobbly and sore, especially in the sacroiliac (SI) joints where your spine meets your pelvis. Some women also experience sharp, sudden round ligament pain as the uterus stretches.
The Cushy Puff helps relieve pressure in these areas by keeping your hips, pelvis, and lower back in proper alignment. Whether you’re sitting, sleeping, or simply taking a moment to rest, adjusting the pillow to support your body can make all the difference.
SLEEP POSITION & ALIGNMENT
By the second trimester, sleeping on your side is the best position for circulation and comfort—but it’s not always easy. Your growing bump can put strain on your hips and back, making it hard to get truly comfortable.
The Cushy Puff Pregnancy Pillow keeps everything aligned, reducing tension in your pelvis and ligaments. Placing it between your knees keeps your hips level, while tucking it under your belly gives gentle support as your bump expands. Its adjustability means you can shift it around to find the perfect fit, night after night.
STAYING ACTIVE SAFELY
Moving your body is still important in the second trimester, but it’s time to adapt your routine to avoid unnecessary strain. High-impact workouts and intense core exercises should take a backseat in favor of gentle movement, like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga.
The Cushy Puff can be a great support tool during stretching and mobility work. Use it to cushion your back during pelvic tilts or prop up your knees in a side-lying stretch—it’s all about finding ways to move comfortably and safely as your body changes.
THE IMPORTANCE OF REST & RECOVERY
With so much happening in your body, rest is just as important as movement. Your muscles are working overtime to support your changing posture, which can lead to fatigue in your back, hips, and neck. Taking moments to rest and properly support your body helps prevent discomfort and keeps you feeling your best.
The Cushy Puff isn’t just for sleeping—it’s there whenever you need a moment to relax. Whether you’re putting your feet up, reading in bed, or taking a well-earned nap, its adaptable design helps you find the comfiest position possible.
SUPPORTING YOUR BODY IN THE SECOND TRIMESTER
The second trimester is a time of growth and transition, and your body deserves all the support it can get. The Cushy Puff Pregnancy Pillow is designed to adapt to your changing needs, easing aches, improving posture, and making everyday comfort a little easier.
With your Cushy Puff by your side, you can focus on enjoying this special time—knowing your body is cared for every step of the way.
