What are some pregnancy comfort items that are must haves? My Dr told me to get compression socks…

Preggo pops for nasua

Tums! I only get heartburn while pregnant so Tums are currently on my nightstand haha

Pillows will be your best friend , water, snacks , coco butter/oil . Tylenol , heating pad ..

Maternity bras that can also be used later as nursing bras, tylenol, ginger candy for nausea

I also hated my pregnancy pillow and now I just have a lotttttt of pillows 😀

Allllot of pillows! Maybe even a foam mattress cover too!

I would hold off on the pregnancy pillow to see if you need it as you get bigger. I never needed one with my first pregnancy (just used a body pillow), I definitely needed one with my second pregnancy (I invested in a big body pillow and it was THE only way I could sleep), and this time around I used it for a short time.

I would highly recommend seeing a chiropractor regularly and getting a prenatal massage once a month after your first trimester to help keep your body align and help with any pain you might have. It will also help your labor later on.

Get a big water cup with a straw so you can drink plenty of water and keep track of what you drink. (Hopefully you don’t get sick so you can drink water.)

Also invest in some prenatal yoga classes or anything that will help keep you active throughout your pregnancy.

All these recommendations are great. I loved my pregnancy pillow with my daughter but hated it this pregnancy and bought a belly wedge. So much smaller and very helpful. Also Bio Oil for you belly. It has helped so much more than cocoa butter for me and even started lightening my stretch marks from my previous pregnancy.

Tons of pillows! Forget the pregnancy pillow and just get a body pillow. This is our current situation 🤣 It’s a good thing we have a King size bed. I don’t even bother to put pillow cases on them I have so many.
