Things that made my two pregnancies so much easier!
An actual life saver with morning sickness! Made me feel like I had some energy (rather than none haha)
Pregnancy & Postpartum Electrolyte Hydration Drinks – Mini + Me
These helped with the hip/tendon pain during my second pregnancy and helped for a few weeks after birth as well!
SRC Postpartum Recovery Shorts
I feel like this definitely helped with stretch marks, I ended up with one right at the end of my first pregnancy (I was also 12 days over my due date) it also feels like a bit of luxury at the end of the day
GAIA Skin Naturals Belly Butter 150mL
Excellent if you plan of breastfeeding (or even if you don’t) the colostrum is great for newborn baths too
haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector
I struggled to find comfortable maternity clothes. These singlets were comfy and grew with my belly.
Buy Women's Originals Maternity Support Singlet in Rocksalt Online
Really helped with cracked nipples from feeding - especially because my second had a poor latch.
Lansinoh HPA Lanolin 15g
Another nipple saver! Especially if you’re vegan and don’t want to use lanolin
GAIA Skin & Body Nipple Balm 40mL | Mother & Baby
Super comfy! Come in a range of sizes
Wire Free Maternity & Nursing Bras
These are so nice when you inevitably leak, very absorbent!
Pigeon Comfy Feel Breast Pads 50 Pieces
Hear me out - I had a bit of a supply issue with my second and a milk at night helped! It didn’t increase my supply like crazy but it certainly helped to up it.
Was also a nice little treat when I had gestational diabetes
Milo Malt Chocolate Drinking Powder Hot or Cold 1kg
A delicious snack when I had gestational diabetes. It was hard to find something delicious and low in carbs.
Indulgence Bars
A nice little added luxury to pregnancy. Pregnancy is so uncomfortable but these helped so much
Best Pregnancy Massage
A nice way to relax at the end of the day or week. Helped with swelling too
Footcare
Personally it didn’t help bring on labor with me (my baby was stubborn and had other reasons for staying put) but it did help him get into position. Doesn’t taste wonderful though
Best Organic Red Raspberry Leaf Tea in AU | Bubba Bump Baby
Possibly the best wearable in the market. Spare parts/extra flanges etc are affordable too. Comfortable to wear, but hard to clean
