Trying to Conceive (TTC)
I’m going to open up and tell you guys my story. I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and thought that I couldn’t get pregnant or keep the pregnancy. I am well aware that these gummies were not the only reason I got pregnant, but 1 month of ta...
Pink Stork Fertility Gummies for Women - Pineapple Mango
Believe it or not, this actually tasted amazing. Again, I totally understand this tea and the gummies did not help me get pregnant, but I tried them and was pregnant immediately afterwards so I’m going to live in my happy bubble. Either way, it taste...
Pink Stork Organic Fertility Tea - Supports Conception
I used an ovulation kit to see when I was most fertile after having my miscarriage. My cycle was all over the place and this kit helped me understand where I was each day. Once I was after that 2 week mark post ovulation, I would test with the HCG st...
Ovulation and Fertility Tests in Personal Care(130)
I know the digital tests are more expensive, but it made me feel better knowing I wasn’t seeing stuff or it was all in my head. It was clear, in words, and I could stop panicking. I love ClearBlue.
Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test - 2ct
First Trimester
This company is woman-owned and focused on putting the best products out for their consumers. Some prenatals do not contain enough iron, some do not contain DHA, some do not contain enough folic acid. This is not one of those products. This is the pe...
Pink Stork Total Prenatal Vitamins with DHA
Literally the ONLY thing that kept the nausea at bay. I normally hate anything minty, but this was absolutely delicious. I was popping these sweets like the actual candy they are and it worked.
Pink Stork Organic Peppermint Sweets for Nausea
This pregnancy pillow was an absolute must-have. I was soooo nauseous and uncomfortable and could never find a comfortable position. This pillow allowed me to lay in almost any position I wanted and I felt fully supported. My husband hated it, but he...
Maternity Pillows - Pregnancy & Baby Products
Yes, I put saltines on this list. Yes, they are a must-have for the first trimester. No, I am not crazy.
Premium Original Saltine Crackers, 16 oz
It’s not pretty, but I had these all over my car, my bag, my house, honestly they were everywhere. If I couldn’t make it to the bathroom, this was my go-to.
Vomit Bags
I started using this belly butter the second I found out I was pregnant. It goes on super smooth, doesn’t leave any residue, and keeps your growing belly moisturized all day. Never had any stretch marks with this wonderful product.
Mama Belly Butter
I absolutely hate the taste of ginger, but I was popping these all day every day just as much as the minty ones. Could not have gotten through all that nausea without these candies. Some women will say to try the Preggie Pops, but they didn’t do anyt...
Pink Stork Morning Sickness Organic Raspberry Ginger Candy
Second Trimester
I used Babylist for everything. I made my registry, I read all their articles, I bought through the app. It saved my sanity, helped me organize my thoughts, and pointed me in the direction I was looking for.
Babylist
So this can be a little controversial, but it helped keep me sane. After I miscarried the first time, I needed to know that my son was ok. Listening to his heartbeat every night before bed helped me relax and know that he was ok. If you are the type ...
Fetal Doppler
I started to get that horrible sciatica pain during my second trimester. My back, my leg, my everything was just making me miserable. My physical therapist suggested this particular belly band and it was the only thing that kept me from screaming in ...
AZMED Maternity Belt Back Support Adjustable
Once I started to have sore breasts, I needed to change all my bras. I didn’t want to buy new bras every trimester, so I stuck with these. Not only were they comfortable, supportive, and cute, but they were also great during postpartum for skin to sk...
Nursing Bras | Pumping & Breastfeeding Bras
Because this was my first baby, I wanted to feel all the joy accompanied with being a mom-to-be. These boxes would come in the mail, I would get so excited to open them, and it was like a present to me from me 😍 they have super cute socks, robes, sn...
Bump Boxes
Third Trimester
This will become the only comfortable thing you can sit on. It is great for moving baby around, for finding a comfortable position, and for trying to progress labor. Talk to your doctor before using, just in case!
Birthing Ball
Talk to your doctor before taking!!!!!! My heartburn was soooo bad that it affected my asthma. Pepcid was the only thing that helped. Tums just wasn’t strong enough for me towards the end of my pregnancy but it was phenomenal in the beginning.
PEPCID
For those that started lactating while they were still pregnant, these are for you. They are soft, comfortable, and washable. Made of bamboo and kept my bras clean. Also great for postpartum!
Organic Nursing Pads - 14 Washable Bamboo
If I didn’t drink water, I was having Braxton-Hicks contractions. This kept me on track and motivated me to drink water even though I generally live off of coffee (pre-pregnancy).
Large Motivational Water Bottle with Straw
This helped me keep track of my milestones and also allowed me to see my sweet baby whenever I wanted. It may seem silly to some, but it helped motivate me to keep going even though pregnancy was really hard on my body. Seeing my baby was all I wante...
Pearhead Sonogram Progression Frame - Trimester
For those that want an all-in-one, I recommend this kit. You can measure and assess your size AND have the inserts all in one bundle. You can take all the inserts with you to the hospital and talk to the lactation consultant to see what works best fo...
Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit 3in1 10PCS Inserts
For those that want under the belly undies, these are for you. Also great for post partum if you had a C-section cause they cover the scar, but don’t press on it. I found them very comfortable and breathable.
Intimate Portal @ Amazon.com:
Not only are these super soft BUT they also have those nice grippies on the bottom. I was sooooo clumsy with all that added weight so having socks that kept me upright was super important for me.
Bulinlulu Fuzzy Socks with Grips Plush Cozy
Ok so here’s the thing…my feet were sooooo swollen towards the end of my pregnancy that I could not fit into ANY of my shoes. Problem with that is that I obviously needed to wear shoes and they had to be closed-toe for work. Yes, these say they are f...
INMINPIN Orthopedic Clogs Arch Support
Hospital Bag and Fourth Trimester (Post-Partum)
I know this sounds crazy, but trust me, your sizing matters. I tried to pump with the wrong flange size and it just caused so much pain, irritation, and low milk supply. Your breasts will change with the pregnancy, what you think is your size but be ...
Nipple Ruler for Flange Sizing Measurement
This robe was sooooo comfortable!!!! I wore it in the hospital and when I was home post partum. Snaps everywhere for all breastfeeding and skin to skin needs.
Ekouaer 3 in 1 Labor Delivery Nursing Gown
If you have a vaginal delivery, these pads are a must! They cool, they help if you had any tears, and make you feel slightly less broken. Absolute must.
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
Those hotshots you get at the hospital post baby? Yeah these aren’t as cool, but they do rip off easily, they are comfy to wear, and they stop the leaks…if you want to be super fancy, you can get them in black. Either way, don’t both with real underw...
Always Discreet : Incontinence Underwear
I shoved these in the freezer and then put them in my sexy adult underwear with my Tucks pads and some Dermaplast and loved life for about 2 seconds. Makes you feel like you didn’t just give birth, cools the area, and catches the leaks.
Frida Mom : Maxi Pads
Just buy it. If you don’t want to feel what’s going on down there, just buy it. You will need all the help you can get.
Dermoplast Spray Postpartum
Doesn’t matter if you want Frida Mom or some other company, just make sure you get the little peri bottle that has a neck to it like this. The hospital one is terrible, doesn’t get the angle you need, and is just a mess. This one you can aim, spray a...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle Postpartum
Safe to use on pumping supplies between sterilizations.
Quick Clean™ breast pump & accessory wipes
I swear by this cream and it is safe for baby as well!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ Cream
For those that need a nipple shield, this is a great option. Super soft, easy to clean, and a cute case for them.
Contact Nipple Shields
These are also great wipes for pumping supplies in between sterilization. I would always have at least one pack on me at all times.
Breast Pump Wipes
Great to help with letdowns and to prevent mastitis. It also just feels amazing when you are sore or too full.
Momcozy 2-in-1 Warming Lactation Massager
Using these in conjunction with the massager is an absolute game changer. My letdowns were within seconds and I wasn't in as much pain either. Just love this.
Hot & Cold Breast Therapy Packs
Not only is this fan amazing for baby, but it is spectacular for mommy during pregnancy and during delivery. I was MELTING when I was pregnant and it was even worse when I was on the magnesium drip for high blood pressure. This fan has 3 speeds, char...
AMACOOL Battery Operated Stroller Fan Clip
Flip flops are non-negotiable. DO NOT step foot in that hospital bathroom without shoes…just don’t do it. You don’t want to know what has been on that floor…
Slim Flip Flops Women Beach Rubber Shower Shoes
Not only are these super soft, BUT they are great for breastfeeding as well…at least before you stop caring when your breasts are out 🤣 yes, that will happen. You will be living in the same 2 outfits for days, probably even weeks, might as well mak...
SUNNYBUY Womens Maternity Nursing Pajamas Set
Because you have no idea which bottle baby will like, my suggestion is to get one of each company and go from there. It took me 10 tries to find the bottle my son liked so trust me, I know the struggle.
