The post Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow Winner appeared first on The Mom Maven.

Mom inventor – Anita Jamshidi, was told by her doctor to spend most of her 3rd trimester laying on her left side to increase the blood flow to her baby. Anita tried several products already on the market but they didn’t give her the support and comfort she needed. Then she decided to try a variation of the memory foam she was already using in the Breast Pillow she had previously invented and in time, invented the Pregnancy Pillow.

The Pregnancy Pillow is the chic, compact, affordable answer to many pregnant women’s dreams! It’s the ONLY pillow that simultaneously supports the back and belly, keeping mom securely on her side all night. It has also proven to reduce back pain within just the first few nights of use. The Pregnancy Pillow was chosen by Disney as the #1 Pregnancy Essential Product in their top 10 list this summer!

You can purchase the Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow directly from their website. Or you can win it from The Mom Maven!

Mandatory Entry visit Utterly Yours website and then come back here and tell me which of the designer prints you would want for your Pregnancy Pillow AND your due date or the due date of the friend/relative you plan on giving this to.

1.      Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta, add in basil pesto, and set aside.

2.      Poke three holes in the beef pouch, and place the pouch in its microwave-safe tray. Cover with a paper towel, and cook on high for 5 minutes. Let stand 1-2 minutes before removing from the microwave. Empty the contents of the beef pouch onto the microwave-safe tray.

3.      Place pine nuts on a microwave-safe plate and cook, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.

4.      Add drained pasta to the beef mixture and toss to combine. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture and microwave again, uncovered on high, for an additional 30 seconds. Let stand for one minute before removing from the microwave.

5.      Transfer pasta and beef to a serving platter or individual plates and top with pine nuts, basil (if using) and cheese.
