Sleep During Pregnancy

For most women, pregnancy heralds a time of change. Unfortunately, with everything else, sleep also goes through major changes during this period. Even those who have never had any sleep issues may have trouble falling or staying asleep during pregnancy. According to a 1998 National Sleep Foundation poll, more than 70 percent of women have disturbed sleep during pregnancy more than any other time in life. Along with sleep changes, feeling fatigued is also a common complaint. Given the physical and emotional changes during pregnancy along with sleep disorders it isn't surprising that pregnant women feel tired and overwhelmed during the first and third trimesters. Sleep Disorders During Pregnancy Disturbed sleep during pregnancy isn't unusual. In fact, the hormonal changes during this time are the biggest reason for fatigue and sleep disorders. Even a perfectly healthy woman with no previous history of sleep disorders may start experiencing problems during pregnancy. ...

Miracle Bamboo Pillow | Totally NOT worth it

Image
I recently came across the Miracle Bamboo Pillow as I was perusing the “As Seen on TV” display at a local Walmart.  It was located on the bottom shelf next to the “Kitty Shack” and below “Bright Time Buddies” and adjacent to the Muscle Milk cooler. But, since I’m always on the lookout for new sleep products, this caught my attention. I also just reviewed the  Miracle Bamboo Seat Cushion  which I’m not a fan of. Rather than purchase it from Walmart, I thought I would try purchasing it through the website. miraclebamboopillow.com. And what a fiasco that was. What seemed like an easy purchase led me down the road of multiple checkout screens asking me to add extra pillows, pillow cases and sheets. The pillow listed at $29.95. The fine print is that you also pay $9.95 shipping & handling. At one point I was asked to upgrade to the deluxe for an extra amount which I did.. Below is the total amount I paid, $48.85.  You also have to pay for return...

Miracle Bamboo Cushion : Not a Miracle, Not a Good Cushion

Image
The Miracle Bamboo Cushion is a cheap piece of foam that retails for $19.95 plus shipping and handling and some random web service fee. Oh, and if you want to buy “two for 1”? It will cost you a total of $46.85. That’s because they charge you a separate processing and handling fee even though they arrive to your door in the same bag. I don’t think it really costs much extra to ship 1 more cushion since they are very light and made with cheap foam.  Below is my order total. Below is my shipping confirmation for the Miracle Bamboo Cushion. As you can see they have a customer service line that says it is open from 8am-5pm PST but when I called them at 4 PST a robot voice just said they were closed. Hmm… Most people will probably just relent and not go through the hassle of trying to return this thing. Not me, I’m going to be persistent and document along the way. If you still want to buy the Miracle Bamboo  Cushion or Miracle Bamboo anything after this point, kee...
