Many of you reading probably already know that I LOVED being pregnant. Especially in the first 7 months. I feel like really had that pregnancy glow. Experiencing life that you and your best friend created growing inside of you is unreal. The female body is amazing, y’all! That being said, being pregnant is far from the most comfortable or glamorous thing in the world. Below I have listed a few products that made my pregnant life much easier.
Boppy® Pregnancy Wedge with Jersey Slipcover
As I just said, being pregnant is uncomfortable, especially when you’re trying to sleep! I am a stomach sleeper. After I was about 25 weeks pregnant, I couldn’t sleep on my stomach anymore. This pillow allowed me to get in a position that was as close to “on my stomach” as possible. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/boppy-reg-pregnancy-wedge-with-jersey-slipcover/1060097422?skuId=60097422&&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_beautywellness_online&product_id=60097422&adtype=pla&product_channel=online&adpos=1o1&creative=224129507250&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&mrkgadid=3140840202&mrkgcl=609&rkg_id=0&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhPf0s_fD4gIVmUUNCh2JLA1sEAQYASABEgJ8WvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Maternity Support Belt
Yep. I had one of these. You better believe I wore it 24/7, too. I had TERRIBLE back pain during my 3rd trimester, and wearing this belt made a world of difference. This might actually be my #1 product I would recommend for women in their 3rd trimesters. https://www.motherhood.com/maternity-support-belt/006-92200-10-S.html?country=US¤cy=USD&mrkgcl=917&mrkgadid=3205939588&product_id=006-92200-10-S&adpos=1o1&creative=193262584450&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvumlrPjD4gIVDo7ICh00qQMqEAQYASABEgKpQ_D_BwE
Palmer’s® 4.4 oz.Cocoa Butter Formula® Massage Cream For Stretch Marks
I’m pretty sure that stretch marks are partially hereditary, so to a degree, you can’t completely prevent yourself from getting them. Still, I used this cream from the first week I found out I was pregnant, all the way to the end. I rubbed it all over my belly, and never got a stretch mark on it (wish I could say the same about my boobs and butt, though). https://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/palmer-39-s-reg-4-4-oz-cocoa-butter-formula-reg-massage-cream-for-stretch-marks/1012545401?skuId=12545401&&mrkgcl=611&mrkgadid=3285455540&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_health_local&product_id=12545401&product_channel=local&adtype=pla&adpos=1o11&creative=263701724800&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxujS2ojE4gIVCMDICh0YMw3lEAkYCyABEgKnEvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Holo – The Original Inflatable Maternity Pillow Raft with a Hole to Lie on Your Stomach During Pregnancy
Again, when you’re preggo, you can’t be on your tummy. This float is a game changer for those of you who are pregnant in the summer, like I was. You’re welcome. https://www.amazon.com/Holo-Inflatable-Maternity-Resting-Pregnancy/dp/B00A6QM16Y
Maternity Crossover Panel Skinny Jeans – Isabel Maternity by Ingrid & Isabel™ Medium Wash
My biggest advice to all of you pregnant women is not to buy a whole new wardrobe. If you do buy new clothes, buy stuff that you will still be able to wear when you’re not pregnant (maxi dresses, leggings, etc). The only maternity clothes I bought were maternity jeans and maternity shorts (and I only bought one pair of each). This is the exact pair of maternity jeans I bought. They are so affordable, which is also a plus, because you only wear them for about 3 months. https://www.target.com/p/maternity-crossover-panel-skinny-jeans-isabel-maternity-by-ingrid-isabel-153-medium-wash/-/A-53217101?preselect=52908226#lnk=sametab
