Pregnancy Essentials

items Essentials for your pregnancy — most you’ll keep using beyond the bump, and a few you’ll be excited to use again in the next pregnancy.
Not on my list, but worth a look:

Obsessed with this pillow 😱 Already dreaming of using it in my next pregnancy!
Pregnancy Pillow - bbhugme
A hydrating oil for the body to prevent stretch marks. Also helps to soothe sensitive breasts 🙏🏻 It worked great for me
Belly Oil - Talm
The Skims Fits Everybody thong is the stretchiest thing ever. Toward the end of pregnancy, when hips may widen and comfort is everything, these are a lifesaver. Get your pre-pregnancy size — you’ll still wear them after pregnancy and they’ll be the o...
Fits Everybody Thong | Skims
It looks like jeans, but it’s actually sweatpants. Mega stretchy and insanely comfortable. I didn’t get them during my first pregnancy because they only came in wide or straight leg, and I’m very much a flare/bootcut girl — but now that they’ve relea...
Fake Denim | Rag & Bone
I got my pre-pregnancy size and they fit me all the way to the end 😱 The softest, comfiest leggings ever!!!
🧘🏻♀️ Workout Leggings | Lululemon
Perfect for everyday use. Personally, I didn’t feel comfortable in jeans with the belly band—I felt much more at ease in leggings, and the fit-flare jeans made me look a bit more put together.
They’re designed specifically for pregnancy, so I would...
🌞 Day Leggings - H&M
So comfortable and stylish! You can wear them over the belly or folded down. The ribbed texture and flare shape make them look a bit more polished than plain leggings, perfect for dinners out with heeled boots 🥳
They’re designed specifically for p...
🌙 Evening Leggings | H&M
In my third trimester, I couldn’t get around without this belly band 😂 my sciatica was killing me!!
Belly Bend - Koala Babycare
Any Intimissimi top works great, they are very stretchy. I wore mine up to the ninth month in my pre-pregnancy size and I still wear them daily. 👚
Micromodal Top - Intimissimi
If you don’t already have sweaters with side slits in your wardrobe, I’d really recommend getting one or two during pregnancy. They’re much more comfortable because they give extra room for a growing bump, drape better, and feel less restrictive over...
Cashmere Crewneck with Side Slits - Falconeri
Something I already had in my wardrobe long before pregnancy — simply because I love it. I wore it all through my pregnancy thanks to the super-stretchy smocked bodice, and I still wear it now 😍 The brand also offers other pregnancy-friendly styles,...
The Ellie Nap Dress - Hill House Home
Not a maternity piece at all, but the smocking makes it incredibly pregnancy-friendly. In fact, because it runs all the way down the belly, it’s almost more flattering when you’re pregnant than when you’re not — truly a great one to wear while expect...
Smock Dress - Maria de la Orden
I love it so much that I actually have two (different patterns) and wore them all throughout my pregnancy—both for New Year’s Eve and for my baby shower! I got one in my pre-pregnancy size and wore it until around the fifth or sixth month, and the ot...
Michele Jumpsuit - Diane Von Furstenberg
Compression socks are a must during pregnancy, especially when traveling ✈️
Graduated Compression Socks - Danish Endurance
If you don’t already own these shoes, this is the moment in your life to make the investment. On Running are amazing: incredibly comfortable and lace-free, so you can slip them on without bending over—something that becomes surprisingly hard with a g...

Great retinol alternative!
