Pregnancy
There are so many decisions during pregnancy! Benefit from my excessive research, trial, errors and golden finds!
The best & easiest prenantal vitamin to take! Has all the folic acid, choline, iron, and more that you and baby need to be and stay healthy and comes in pre-labeled daily packets. Three pills a day gives you everything you need—which I could stom...
Theralogix TheraNatal Prenatal Vitamins
This is a must for pregnancy and a maybe for labor/hospital bag. Some hospitals have them on hand, some don’t! Call in advance to ask and prepare. I did circle eights, supported lunges, and more throughout my pregnancy and particularly in my last tri...
Retrospec Luna Exercise Ball with Pump
Labor
Pack your hospital bags! These are items that are great during labor or in the first few days postpartum for both you and your wonderful new baby!
I alternated between wanting to zone out and wanting to interact during labor and these made the first possible. Noise cancellation to the maximum and comfortable enough to not bother me when in pain or touched out. If they can dull the noise of a pl...

I used this during labor to help with back labor pains! It was a lifesaver when my husband’s hands got a bit tired and I needed to take my mind off the contractions and aching!
Belifu Dual Channel TENS EMS Muscle Stimulator
The benefits of these are three-fold: 1) strong and sturdy so can be a birthing comb when you need it and a regular comb when you get home, 2) beautiful and well-made, 3) comes in a pack of 2 so if you lose one you’re still set! Or, like me, put one ...
Giorgio Wide Tooth Detangling Comb for Thick Hair
Another “do I need this for labor”? No, you don’t need it for labor, but it is a hospital bag must for me! The Hatch Go supplied white noise that made it possible to sleep when over exhausted in a room full of noisy machines. But you should go ahead ...
Hatch Baby Sleep Bundle: Rest 2nd Gen & Go
This doesn’t seem like it belongs on a labor list, but it was the most commented-on item in our labor & postpartum room aside from the baby! We brought it with a beautiful candle that had no common allergens and every doctor, nurse, lactation con...
Marycele Candle Warmer Lamp with Timer Dimmer
I use this when traveling and in the hospital! It’s made of the softest silk and thick enough to be light blocking all the way around! Made sleeping more manageable in a loud & bright hospital room!
Zenssia 100% Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask - Light Plum
While this might be for you baby’s car seat, the benefit is all for you! This is not just for mamas with nails, but also for mamas who prefer not to have achy thumbs or who may suffer from issues like Mommy’s Wrist Syndrome (DeQuervain’s Tenosynoviti...

Rest up & heal well with these postpartum essentials and cozy must-haves!
I had an emergency c-section for my first and this was amazing in the weeks following while I was rebuilding my strength and trying to get mobile! I noticed a difference in walks when I used this belly binder versus when I didn’t—it provided some muc...
Frida Mom Belly Binder Postpartum Wrap 9"
What they don’t tell you about c-sections is that you still have to deal with a lot of tough stuff “down there”. This kit makes it super sweet and simple. I labored for a while before having to have an emergency c-section so the ice packs were helpfu...
Frida Mom 11pc Postpartum Essentials Kit
Once I wanted to feel more human, I switched from diapers & disposable undies to these. They’re absorbent but very comfortable & fly under the radar, so you can wear anything from sweats to tight jeans with them! I have them in several styles...
