Do you prop pillows behind you, or have a special pillow or something to give back support?

I usually nurse laying down, but there are times when I want to sit up, and I need good support for my back.

Best answer gets the 10 points.

I am going to California (from Arizona) next weekend. The car trip is about 7 or 8 hours long. I’m not driving (my husband is).
I know I need to be drinking plenty of bottled water, I should be getting out of the car every hour and a half to two hours to stretch my legs, I can take a little dramamine for any motion sickness and I should bring a pillow for back support.

My question is.. does anyone else have any tips or tricks for making the car trip more comfortable? Anyone done this at 33 weeks before and have any life savers? And what healthy snacks do you recommend for a long trip like this?

I need to take an unexpected trip that will be 7 hours each way. I’m 33 weeks pregnant and am hoping to get some tips from others who took long car trips at this stage. Should I bring pillows for back support? What’s the recommended break time? Thanks for your help!
