Can doctors tell me what does sleeping with a pillow between your legs do?

Lessens strain: On your low back. If you have no back injury, sleeping with a pillow between your legs may or may not feel comfortable. But if you've had low back strain or are obese, sleeping with a pillow between your knees - not between your legs - can reduce the strain on your low back.
