Skin
I’m usually not able to use the same deodorant for more than about a month before it doesn’t work for me anymore, which is even more difficult option wise when I use aluminum free, low-no toxin deodorants. This one was recommended by Bobby Parrish on...
Dr. Squatch Natural Deodorant Men 3-Pack
I just love this lotion for pregnancy. It’s affordable, it seems to work really well for the itchiness I get as my skin stretches, and it has a nice, light fragrance. I’ve used it during both of my pregnancies!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Lotion 8.5oz
I love a simple, hydrating face wash, especially during pregnancy. I like to go for fragrance-free face products for my sensitive, dry skin, and this has been the best one I’ve found!
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin
These are my favorite products to use on my skin during pregnancy and postpartum, especially on a budget. They work really well and they smell amazing!
Palmer's: Pregnancy - Amazon.com
I used this during my first pregnancy, and it was so light and moisturizing. Its EWG verified, so it’s very good for use during pregnancy, and it has a wonderful and light scent.
ATTITUDE Pregnancy Nourishing Body Lotion
I loved this gentle foaming face wash. I used it during my first pregnancy, but I would use it regularly anyways. It’s so refreshing and light!
ATTITUDE Pregnancy Foaming Face Cleanser EWG
Supplements and medicine
If you have bad heartburn during pregnancy, these are the best kind of tums. They taste better, and it kind of feels like eating candy.

This has been a great prenatal vitamin for me! I wanted one that had plenty of Zinc (my doctor recommended taking more Zinc than most multi/prenatal vitamins have because of hypothyroidism/PCOS), choline, probiotics, and methylated folate. This one c...
Pure Methylated Prenatal Vitamins 240 Veggie
I had such bad heartburn with both babies, especially toward the end with my second. These are the only tums that would work for me!

Sleep
I’ve been using this every night for about two weeks now, and can confirm that from the first night I actually slept better (which is hard when you have pregnancy insomnia 😅). My restless legs felt more relaxed, and it helps with aches too.
LemeTree Magnesium Cream with Jojoba & Shea
I don’t care what anyone says about pregnancy pillows, but I NEEDED one both pregnancies. They just help so much.

Hydration
I am very picky about electrolyte powders, but this kind is so good. I like that it’s zero sugar, because it doesn’t leave a weird taste in my mouth. I got really sick during my last pregnancy, and this was the only drink I could keep down. It made s...
Gatorade Zero Powder Sticks - Walmart
I am obsessed with these cups!! I have a hard time drinking enough water throughout the day, so I need a big cup. This one is 40 ounces, and doesn’t leak easily. I love the aesthetics of them, which helps motivate me to drink more water somehow haha....

My. Cereal. Obsession. 😍 I couldn’t tell you how many bags of this cereal I went through during pregnancy and postpartum. Try to pry it out of my hands at night before bed 😂👊🏼
