Tests
If you want tests that are easy to use, understand and read Clearblue is the only way.
Always accurate and easy to tell if pregnant
Pregnancy Tests: Digital Tests, Sticks and Kits
Accurate readings and 5 minute wait times for results. HAVE to use on the first pee of the day though.
Clearblue: Ovulation
Vitamins
Mega foods and pure encapsulations are my favorite brands I trust for me and my baby.
Used these for over 3 years. They’re a big pill and have a taste to them so in the first trimester they are hard to take, but are packed with all kinds of nutrients!
Baby & Me 2™ Prenatal Multi
Took 3 of these a day on my second pregnancy and had minimal bleeding during and after birth! I think this was the game changer for me! Keep iron up in the third trimester
Blood Builder™ Iron Supplement
Magnesium helps sleep and digestion to prevent constipation in pregnancy. This brand is my go to because the capsules have nothing added into them, meaning you’re truly only getting the vitamin you need.
Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate), 90 Capsules | Supplement to Support Stress Relief, Sleep, Heart Health, Nerves, Muscles, and Metabolism*, with Magnesium Glycinate
Nausea
As a woman that threw up all 9 months of pregnancy these were the things that helped the most.
I was nauseous and threw up for all 9 months, but this stuff after breakfast was amazing. It helped a LOT to curve the nausea
Canada Dry Soda, Ginger Ale, Bold, 12 Pack | Publix Super Markets
These are my favorite things to drink throughout the day to keep something in my belly to prevent nauseousness! They are delicious and easy to drink!
Green Juice Smoothie
One of my favorite ways to get extra protein in while pregnant. This chocolate one is delicious! I loved this one!
Bolthouse Farms Chocolate Protein Plus Shake - 15.2oz: Gluten-Free, 30g Protein, Non-Caffeinated
I love this as a source of a protein boost while pregnant! Its a yummy chai flavor and has 13g of protein!!! However it does have caffeine in it so if you’re anti caffeine be warned.
Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Vanilla Chai Tea - 15.2oz: Certified Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
Honey crisp apples were my favorite snack to keep something in my stomach while I was nauseous. Always sounded good
Fresh Honeycrisp Apples - 3lb Bag - Good & Gather™
Sleep
Everyone knows sleep in pregnancy is rough. Here are some things I used to help give comfort and relaxation
Pregnancy made me snore a LOT. These were the only strips to be gentle on my skin, but productive in opening my nose to breathe when I laid down. Best by far!
Extra Strength Nasal Strips - 26ct - up&up™
Super comfortable pregnancy pillow. It supports belly, pelvis, neck and legs.
Pharmedoc U-Shape Pregnancy Body Pillow Grey
Pelvis Pain
Pelvis pain wrecked me during both pregnancies. If that’s you too this is what you need!
This band helped so much in pregnancy. As my pelvis loosened and lost its stability I wore the band anytime I was walking around and it gave such relief!
PlayActive Sacroiliac SI Joint Hip Belt - Lower Back Support
Birth
HUGE fan of the Bradley method and a natural childbirth. After having 2 all natural home births I wouldn’t want to give birth any other way.
If you want a natural childbirth get into a Bradley method class as soon as possible. Having my husband beside me as an active participant and partner was one of the most intimate and bonding experiences of my life. It also helps him understand and p...

Best thing to have on hand during labor! Pull out these cards and go through comfort measures to help find the most comfortable positions to labor and deliver in. This was such a great tool while delivering
The Birth Deck®
I had these on my second birth and LOVED them. It was such a good distraction method for pain transfer and focusing elsewhere through contractions
