Your legs will inevitably get sore and cramp up
Comrad Graduated Compression Socks
Because bending down sucks, and it only gets worse haha. Also looks cute with dresses.
Kizik Hands Free Shoes
If you don’t want to buy maternity leggings, these are the only leggings I found comfortable. The line sits right below ur belly. Wore the same size as pre-pregnancy to my 3rd trimester. Note: The ones with pockets are tighter.
Lululemon Align II Stretchy Yoga Pants
Pricey, but I lived in these the end of trimester 3 when I wanted looser clothing and postpartum. Nice bc they go up reaalllll high without being too tight. Kept me warm while pumping when it was cold.
Beyond Yoga Spacedye Maternity Midi Joggers Pants

Crunchy mom here. Chemical sunscreens seep into your bloodstream and you need sunscreen because pregnancy ages you. Babo botanicals goes on smooth unlike other mineral sunscreens that take a lottttt of rubbing in.
Babo Botanicals Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen
Crunchy mom here. I believe in zinc (mineral) sunscreen. It acts as a shield and doesn’t enter your system versus chemical sunscreens absorb and shatter the uv rays after the have entered your system.
Suntegrity Tinted 5-in-1 Mineral Sunscreen
My go to clean blush that is spf. Got lots of compliments on the color.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Color Balm SPF 50
Clean, if u want a lil color. Honestly I use it as a blush too in a pinch
Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm - Tinted Lip Balm | ILIA Beauty
I got unbearably itchy armpits and these helped so much. I also swear they got rid of some annoying skin tags when I caught them early. I had soooo many skin tags.
ECZEMA HONEY Itch Cooling Cotton Rounds
Equivalent to an epsom salt bath. Helps with soreness/cramping and sleep! (Promo codes: JASMINE79296, INSIDER - Use whatever gives you a bigger discount)
Organic Sleepy Body Lotion

Might sound funny but when you so thirsty, but also trimester 1 tired. Camel back so you can drink while laying down and if you accidentally fall asleep you wont wake up in a puddle. And its kid's sized so it doesnt take up your whole bed.
Kids CamelBak Water Bottle with Straw, 14oz
Great for pregnancy & so many uses for post-pregnancy!
For pregnancy I like it more than others because its like a bean bag, so its VERY adjustable as your belly grows.
For after pregnancy your baby can use it for tummy time or tie the ends together and put a blanket over it and it makes a nice little nest (like a Dock-a-tot)

My favorite contraction timer. To leave for the hospital you should follow the 411 rule - you need to be at 4 min between contractions, have contractions that are 1 min long, and have contractions for at least an hour. Most apps don’t have all the av...
