Skin
This is hands down a favorite of mine, pregnant or not. It cleans without stripping the skin of its natural and protective oils. Lathers into a smooth fluffy foam for a luxurious spa feel.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser
My skin was SO dry and itchy with my second baby brewing. This wash definitely helped rehydrate my skin and smelled so good!!
Method Body Wash, Simply Nourish, Paraben Free
This may sound crazy but this is so great on your belly as it grows! It kept my skin soft and moisturized while combating stretch marks (although we moms wear those tiger stripes with pride!)
Bio-Oil
My skin was so dry while pregnant and this really helped keep my skin from being unbearably itchy and was truly amazing
Lipikar AP+MAX Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream
Helps keep your belly moisturized and fights stretch marks. This oil absorbs quickly without leaving behind that typical slippery/sticky residue we’ve all dealt with before.

Hear me out, these have saved my ankles and calves during the third trimester. Comfortable, breathable, and now more cankles
Maternity Compression Socks
Even if we still toss and turn like a rotisserie chicken, we can at least utilize this pillow for the comfort it brings. Personally I love cramming the short side up under by back for additional support
Momcozy U Shaped Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
I feel like this one needs no explanation. Once I hit the third trimester I felt like a dragon with the amount of indigestion I had. These were far more tolerable than the chalky ones we all know.
TUMS Chewy Bites Antacid Chews for Heartburn Relief
Hydration is a top priority during pregnancy. Your OB, midwife or L&D team will always be telling you to drink plenty of water. This cup holds to the hype it has recently received online. It kept ice overnight in my car!! My fave in comparison to...
HydroJug Traveler 40oz - Pink Sand
Incredibly comfortable for those pregnant when it’s hot outside (and they have pockets!!)
Maternity Shorts | Amazon.com
When I was expecting, I had the nose of a bloodhound!! The couch needed scrubbed or I swore I was going to lose my mind! This little guy saved me and my couch from an endless battle of Fabric Sprays that only last a day to mask the smell.
Little Green® Portable Carpet Cleaner 1400B
Hear me out!! Going number 2 gets tricky after a while. Constipation is no joke, and you can take it free birth to help with a smooth BM afterwards when your tidbits are sensitive down below.
Colace
With pregnancy can come insomnia. This helped soothe me into a better place where I could try to fall asleep easier
Lavender Vanilla Essential Oil Mist
Nothing (and I do mean nothing) compares to Comfrt clothing. Not only is it hoodies and sweats…they have blankets and lounge/pj sets and athletic sets now!! True comfort (see what I did there) for pregnancy and postpartum..or every single day!
