Here is my honest review of each item and why it’s essential for pregnancy.
#1 Pregnancy Pillow
The great thing about this pillow is it can evolve with your changing body and sleeping needs. It’s important that you practice sleeping on your side early in pregnancy so the habit is formed by the time side sleeping is necessary. The two half moon shaped pillows are great for the beginning stages of pregnancy and learning to adjust to a new sleep routine. As your belly grows larger, you can eventually swap out one of the half moon pillows for the long body pillow to elevate your top knee to align your spine and hips while you sleep.
I slept beautifully with this pillow and it helped me form positive pregnancy sleeping habits.
#2 Needed. Hydration Support for Pregnancy
This hydration powder is not only tailored specifically to prenatal and lactation support, but also tastes GREAT! I personally love the grapefruit flavor and it dissolves seamlessly in water. The Needed. hydration powder is packed with electrolytes and trace minerals essential for pregnancy and nursing. I love that this product has no added sugars or filler ingredients.
You can purchase this hydration product on Amazon, but if you go directly through my link, you can purchase at 20% off! Simply use code MOTHERTOMOTHER at checkout.
#3 Amazon Maternity Bras
One of the symptoms no one warned me about during the early days of pregnancy was breast engorgement, tenderness and ultra-sensitive nipples. About 8 weeks into pregnancy I was ditching my Victoria Secret bras and started wearing these maternity/nursing bras I purchased off Amazon. They are incredibly comfortable and easy to wear all day and night without feeling like you’re wearing a bra but still having plenty of support.
#4 Earth Mama Belly Oil + Balm
By using this belly oil and balm combination, I was able to completely dodge those pesky stretch marks! I started using these products during the first trimester to prepare my skin for the stretching and growing to come. The oil dries super quick and the balm just a little while longer, which is to be expected with the thicker consistency. I only needed to purchase this duo once to sustain me throughout my entire pregnancy! If you are looking for a product that keeps the stretch marks away - this combination is for you.
#5 Smarty Pants Prenatal Gummy Vitamins
Many woman experience nausea during the first trimester, which can make swallowing pills very triggering. A friend recommended these gummy vitamins to avoid gagging on pills and they were a life saver! They actually taste great, to the point where I look forward to taking them every day. They come as a variety of lemon, orange and strawberry flavors. These gummy vitamins contain all essential ingredients that are recommended by providers for pregnancy. I will note these vitamins do NOT contain iron. I personally was fine without an iron supplement, but if you become anemic at any point, your OB/GYN may instruct you to include iron alongside these vitamins.
You can set up a subscription through Amazon so you have scheduled deliveries and never miss a day.
#6 Maternity Leggings
Comfort is KEY while pregnant! The great thing about wearing leggings while pregnant is they expand with your growing body and are always a comfortable choice in everyday wear. I’ve tried many different maternity leggings from Amazon and these were by far my favorite. They are comparable to Lululemon which is a major win! Better yet, I never found myself constantly pulling them up due to sliding. I purchased the olive green color and always received compliments when I wore them.
#7 Stanley 40oz Cup
Hear me out … We all know how much this cup has been trending on the vast social media universe and at first I was hesitant to “cave” and purchase this cup. However, I am SO happy I gave in and secured my Stanley cup because it played such a critical role in remaining properly hydrated throughout my pregnancy, and now as a nursing mom.
Prior to owning this cup, I was never great at remembering to drink water throughout the day. I figured if I had a giant cup with a convenient carrying handle and straw that also fit in my car cup holder, I would have a constant reminder to drink more water and thus, keep up with my hydration. Since I knew the cup could hold 40oz of liquid, I made a daily goal of drinking at least 2 full Stanley cups a day. The other plus with this cup is it kept my water cool all day long due to the insulated interior.
#8 Amazon Pregnancy Exercise Ball
This pregnancy exercise ball has so many uses! From stretching, to core exercises, to using it as a chair while I worked from home - it’s an absolute essential during pregnancy. The great thing about this ball specifically is it comes with a book of pregnancy specific movements and exercises that you can incorporate into your daily life.
#9 Faux Dyson Mini Bedside Fan
I was not prepared for the pregnancy night sweats, y’all! Once the night sweats kicked in, I knew I needed a bedside fan that blew directly on me without disturbing my husband. I wasn’t interested in a bulky, ugly floor fan and wanted something esthetically pleasing that was small enough to sit on my nightstand.
This faux Dyson mini fan checked all the boxes and helped combat my terrible night sweats. The sleek white design gives it a more modern, expensive look without breaking the bank. It’s also rechargeable so you can move it around the house as needed! I highly recommend this mini fan.
#10 Maternity PJs
I don’t know about you, but I am a pj girlie. I knew I was going to want pjs and loungewear that would be comfortable during pregnancy but also serve as great nursing options once baby arrived. That’s where these cute maternity button up nightgowns come in!
I purchased these nightgowns one size up from my usual so that they were roomy enough to wear while pregnant but not too large postpartum. The button down style is great for nursing without having to feel fully undressed or exposed, especially in the first few weeks postpartum when you are nursing around the clock. I packed two of these gowns in my hospital bag and they were absolutely perfect to wear while recovering in the hospital. Plus, they are so cute and a great price!
Momma, I am so glad you are here!
