Pregnancy has been kicking my butt. And thankfully, there are lots of products out that make the process of growing a little human relatively easier. Things I've added here for during pregnancy are things I swear by and use all the time. Things I've added for post pregnancy are things I've researched and have gotten myself for when the baby gets here and I need to get back to being me(ish). I also added a couple of places I like to go to during my pregnancy.

Just solid, sanity-saving favorites from a mom who’s done the trial-and-error so you don’t have to.
