Supplements
Pregnancy insomnia? These might help :)
Seeking Health Magnesium Plus with Vitamin B6
NO red 40 (surprisingly you need to check for that in your prenatals) and easy to take.
Prenatal Vitamins | Essential Prenatal
These are some of the cleanest electrolytes I’ve found. The watermelon salt is the best.
Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly Hydration
Recommended by my midwife to help with restless legs since I’m not anemic but had borderline RBC’s.
Blood Builder™ Iron Supplement
Products/Gadgets
Best for that lower back pain and any other aches you probably have!
Biofreeze
This is also part of my morning and night routine to help minimize stretch marks!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion Stretch Marks
They say stretch marks are genetic but we’re gonna see about that and I’ve heard this is one of the best products. Been loving it so far!
Bio-Oil
This band is so solid for the price. It’s easy to use and helped me so much on my deep sea fishing trip in my second trimester lol! Now, it helps with daily activities when I know I’m going to be cooking a lot. I don’t wear it 24/7, in order to allow...
Pregnancy Belly Band Support Belt For Pains
One of my fav belly bands for hours on my feet.
Momcozy Maternity Belly Band | Back Support
This is so great for restless legs, leg soreness, etc! They’re also a known tool during labor for pain management!
Theragun Mini 3rd Gen (Black) | Small Percussion Massage Gun for Pain Relief
This size works for me, but I’m a shorty standing at 5’4” on a good day. Make sure whatever size you get, you have it pumped up to where your hips at knees sit at a 90° angle. This is also great for sciatica.
Stability Ball 65cm Purple - All In Motion™: PVC Exercise Equipment, 300lb Capacity
We don’t have ac and I think this is the only reason I slept last night…
Portable Cooling Fan with Mist & Remote, XL Tank
Soooo necessary to help with sciatica pain. Sincerely- a stomach sleeper.
Momcozy U Shaped Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
Clothing- General
Another one you need in every color. Also no sizing up necessary. I was 30 weeks and still wearing a size small the bump shows just enough (accidentally covered by our hands in the photo).
Layla Set
You need this in every color!! Also didn’t need to size up because these pants are sooo stretchy
Carmen Set
Fits the bump well! This is the dress for one of my baby showers. I was 30 weeks + 6 days and it definitely still had room.
AE Sunchaser Knit Smocked Drop Waist Midi Dress
Wear your usual size below the bump
Brandy Melville USA - Skirts
Sized up one size!! Still shows a bit of the bump but in a cute way.
BDG Brittney Square Neck Henley Babydoll Tee
Purchased my usual size!! (Xs) Not too long but not too short and looks so good with shorts, skirts, and pants.
Women's Slim Fit Short Sleeve Off the Shoulder Top - A New Day
This top is so stretchy!!! AE runs a teeny bit big, so I purchase a small instead of my usual pre-pregnancy size of an XS. I am nearing 28 weeks and purchased it when I was about 18 weeks!! Lots of wear :)
AE Main Squeeze Side Slit Tube Top
Honestly these pants are a lifesaver. AE runs a bit big so I went with a “small, short” (I’m 5’3” and some change). My low rise waist is like a 30 right now if I had to guess!
AE Stretch Low-Rise Ultra Wide-Leg Pull-On Jean
This bodysuit is so comfy!! I went with my usual, pre-pregnancy size
A New Day : Bodysuits
I didn’t need to size up and they fit perfectly below the bump!
Mid Rise UltraSoft Denim Easy Boxer Shorts
The only pair of barrel jeans I have ever liked. Not too barrel-y just more of like a boyfriend fit!
Maternity Full Panel Barrel Ankle Jeans | Old Navy
Went up like 6 sizes to make them fit beneath the bump lol but the length is perfect somehow!
Jean Shorts
The criss cross and soft material feels great on the bump. No constriction concerns but I still feel supported. You can wear your normal size.
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me High Waisted Crossover Legging
One of the only tanks that still fits since it’s not cropped!
Women's Tanks Tops
Clothing- Extra Comfy
Super comfy sleep/lounge shorts that I sized up 1 size in! I honestly need another pair hahaha
Out From Under Around The Way Knit Shortie
Sooo comfy and at a great price too. Not bad at all for middle of the night bathroom runs either!!
Maternity Sleeveless Henley Pajama Romper -- 3-inch inseam | Old Navy
My fav pre-pregnancy running shoes, turned into my current walking shoes.
Bondi Road Running Shoes: Walking & Everyday
The only things saving my feet right now!
Women's Cushion Bondi Platform Slide in Cloud
Another super comfy set. I sized up to a large to keep that waistband extra loose!
You need these to sleep in!! I got a small and the band is perfect for me and my growing body.
Hanes Women's String Crop Bralette, 3-Pack #HFA001
Education
If you’re planning to use the epidural that’s great too! However, keep in mind that it may not be available right away and that epidurals (while rare) don’t always work. Having some breathing techniques can’t hurt!
Hypnobirthing Book: Practical Ways To Make Your Birth Better
This has so much valuable info. My husband and I are reading it together! Everything you could possibly want to know is in here. From car seats to breastfeeding to injuries.
