Support Pillow?

[barrbdoll 287]

Hi Everyone... In one week I will be sleeved!!! I've heard that having a support pillow is recommended and I was wondering if someone that has one could tell me the size. My mother wants to make one for me. I will be traveling to Mexico for my surgery so something not too bulky would be great!

Thanks in advance!!

Prior to my surgery, I made a support pillow for myself. It's about 16" long and about 9" wide at its widest point. Mine is stuffed quite firmly and provides a lot of support, but it would be bulky to pack in a suitcase.

Thanks for the info....

I am getting a Build A Bear. I heard those are good plus, I get to take my smaller kids to help me build and dress it. Getting them involved will help with their worries...

I don't want anything that looks like a stuffed animal. I don't have any children but I can see why those that do would choose that route. I just want a regular shaped pillow.. just smaller...

A firm airplane pillow will work
