Maternity clothes
One word you will see on repeat in my comments is comfortable. All of these options are what I loved to wear because I felt so comfortable in them.
One of my favorite dresses! It’s so soft and so comfortable. I sized up because I wasn’t sure how it would be, but that was totally unnecessary. The dress is so stretchy. I recommend ordering your normal size.
Tencel Jersey Maternity Ruched Dress - Quince
I wore this jumpsuit so much while pregnant. I would just wear a tank top underneath it and would be good to go. It’s comfortable and love that it has pockets.

Loved this pajama set! I wore these at the hospital and once we got home. The button up top made it easy to pump and to do contact naps. They are super soft and still look nice after multiple washes.

Micromodal Maternity & Postpartum Bra (2-pack) - Quince
Love this bra top! I will say the neckline sometimes bothered me when I was pregnant. I would occasionally feel claustrophobic with some clothes. That has gone away since giving birth though. I wear it all the time now. I wish I got it in more colors...

Items that helped me throughout my pregnancy.
I got the cooling pillow. It was the best when I was feeling too hot. Very comfortable! My only complaint was that space was tight in our queen sized bed.
Cute Castle Soft U-Shape Pregnancy Pillow
These are the prenatal vitamins I’ve been taking. I like the orange scent to them. You only need to take one a day. The pill is on the larger size in case that is a deal breaker for you. I’ve had no issues taking it though.
Prenatal Multivitamin Folic Acid + DHA Softgels - Nature Made
I know this is a weird one, but these helped alleviate my nausea in the first trimester. I had these leftover from Christmas and it was the only peppermint thing we had on hand. Still would recommend it though!
