1st Trimester
- Prenatal Vitamin: J’s Favorite. There’s so many great one’s out there! You can buy these or you can ask your doctor what he thinks might be best for you! XOXO
- Preggie Pop Drops/Pink Stork Morning Sickness Sweets. Little candies to help keep nausea at bay.
- Mama Sea Bands. Worked like a charm when I went on a cruise!
- Burts Bees Bakuchiol. No more retinol mama! Use this (incredibly inexpensive!) natural alternative that smells divine.
- Belly Butter/Oil. I SWEAR by this stuff. I used several different kinds and this was the best. I used from about 10 weeks until I delivered.
- Bigger Bra. Or at least an incredibly comfortable bra?! You deserve it, mama. Here’s my absolute favorite. Not to get too personal on here… but I just bought a new bra for the first time in like maybe 10 years?!!? (Besides my nursing bras a few years ago). But I 100% absolutely cannot recommend this one enough. Super comfortable and not too much $$$.
- This Promptly journal starts at pregnancy and continues through your child’s life to 18 years. Start recording those magic moments now!
2nd Trimester
- Maternity Leggings. Starting to grow <3 I wore these leggings so many times I should have ordered 2 or3 pairs!
- Pants don’t grow with you. Do yourself a favor and buy a pretty dress that will work during & after pregnancy. I Lived in this floral dream!
- Pregnancy Pillow. Are you team U pregnancy pillow or Team C pregnancy pillow?
- Tums. We both had heartburn at the end of 2nd Trimester that went full force third. Do yourself a favor and get tums early!
- Hydration is so important during pregnancy! We can’t stop/won’t stop talking about our love for this water bottle.
3rd Trimester
- Compression Socks come in clutch if you have swelling.
- Some things are worth the splurge. These sandals were that for me. They offer the best support, are quality, and so cute!
- Nursing pads. I started leaking colostrum at 22 weeks… If you do too, these would be so nice to have!
- Pelvis support belly band. When the belly is just a bit too big for comfort.
