Comfort and Body Support
One of my first purchases after finding out I was pregnant. I’m a belly sleeper, so this was the only thing that kept me from rolling onto my stomach. Honestly, I still use it now, and I’ve caught my husband using it from time to time. Bought this sa...
Pregnancy Body Pillow for Back, Belly, Hips
I had really bad pelvic pain and this thing helped so much. It’s also meant to prepare you for labour, but honestly, I just used it to bounce around and pretend I was being productive. Sometimes I’d just sit on it and stretch (aka scroll TikTok). You...
Meteor Essential Anti-Burst Swiss Ball with Pump
Once your bump gets heavy, your back will start complaining. This helps take some of the pressure off. The only downside? It’s one more thing to take off when you go to the toilet… which is already like 58 times a day. 😩
VISOOP Maternity Belly Band XL-115CM Beige
Pregnancy hot flashes are no joke. This little fan saved me during sleepless nights, random overheating moments, and anytime my body decided it was suddenly summer.
JISULIFE Portable Handheld Fan Life9, Turbo Power, 5 Gear, 5000mAh, Black
Clothing and Wearables
By the second trimester, when your belly starts to show, your regular undies will start betraying you. Mine kept rolling down and I was constantly
pulling them up. I started with
the smaller ones that sit below the bump, but after my C-section, I h...
INNERSY Women's High Waisted Cotton Panties 5-Pack
Swollen feet and ankles? These were a lifesaver. Great for long days, restless legs, and feeling slightly more human when everything feels heavy.
Cambivo 3 Pairs Compression Socks 20-30 mmHg
Comfort over everything. Supportive, stretchy, and actually made for a changing body, because regular bras stop being friendly very quickly.
Momcozy Seamless Nursing Bra, Maternity
Easy, comfy, and practical. Perfect for growing bumps, lounging, and later on for postpartum and feeding without needing to wrestle your clothes.
Women's 2 Piece Printed Lounge Set Sleepwear
Health and Wellness
When I was pregnant, I was always thirsty and I was only craving really cold water. So having a big bottle nearby was a must. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to get up and walk around at work when you need to refill, hydration and a mini break? Win-wi...
BUZIO 64oz Insulated Water Bottle w/ Straw & 3 Lids
One of the few things you actually need to stay consistent with. Helps cover those nutritional gaps when pregnancy cravings and food aversions take over.
Prenatal Trimester 2 & 3 Plus Breastfeeding | Pregnancy Vitamins
Hydration, but better. Great for nausea days, hot weather, or when water just isn’t cutting it, this helped me feel human again.
Hydramama® Sample Pack
Self-Care and Relaxation
Pregnancy can show up on your face too. This helped with puffiness, tension, and gave me a few minutes of calm self-care.
Rena Chris Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool
When your bump starts showing, your skin might get dry and itchy, mine definitely did. Keeping it moisturised helps a lot! Initially, I bought this to prevent stretch marks (which it didn’t. Thank you, genes 🙄), but I ended up using it as an excuse ...
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Oil 3.4oz
Makes gua sha smooth and effective without pulling the skin. Bonus points for feeling luxurious when everything else feels a bit chaotic.
Pure Jojoba and Facial Oils
Everyday Essentials
Because hormones will wreak havoc on your face, but not all skincare actives are safe during pregnancy. Gentle but effective, perfect for sensitive, hormonal pregnancy skin without stripping or irritation.
Tatcha The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser
Because pregnancy sweat is… different. A reliable deodorant is non-negotiable. But not all deodorants are pregnancy-safe.
Caudalie Vinofresh Natural Stick Deodorant
Your lips will feel like a desert no matter how much water you drink. Dry lips were constant for me. This stayed in my bag, bedside table, and basically everywhere.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
Because hormones will wreak havoc on your face, but not all skincare actives are safe during pregnancy. Keeps skin hydrated and comfortable when pregnancy hormones decide to do their own thing.
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Refillable Moisturizer
Mindset & Preparation
Helpful, reassuring, and a reminder that everything you’re feeling is normal. Great for learning, preparing, and calming the “am I the only one?” moments.

An essential especially for first-time mums. I felt like I got thrown straight into the deep end.
