I started this list whilst baby was still baking so if some of my verbiage is wild please blame prego brain.
1. Room Essentials Body Pillow // I have always had this on our bed so it wasn't necessarily a 'pregnancy' buy, per say, but it helped with my sleeping comfort immensely! It was so nice to be able to wrap my legs and arms around the pillow to help with balance. I actually also sleep with a second smaller pillow behind my back to prevent myself from rolling onto my backside. I am such a back sleeper so it has been a huge challenge for me to learn to sleep on my side. However, with this full body pillow I am way more comfortable. I thought about trying out an actual pregnancy wrap around pillow but it just seemed way too bulky for me. This does the trick!
2. Solutions That Stick Bra Extender // Oh my lanta, have my boobs/ribs grown! Now that belly has gotten bigger and my rib cage has expanded, these bra extenders have definitely come in handy. I went up 1 cup size (so far) while pregnant (from a 32DDD to a 34G, holy crap right?!) but even with the bigger size it's been nice to have a little more flexibility in my rib cage. Before getting the bra extender I would find that my ribs would kill by the end of the day which is just no fun at all! Even post baby I am loving this.
3. Aveda Tourmaline Charged Facial Cleanser // Okay this one isn't really pregnancy related but I have found my skin is a little more sensitive now and this cleanser is just amazing. I like a gentle scrub but like to feel like I am actually cleaning my face. This cleanser has really gentle exfoliating beads but not the kind that scrape the ba-geezus outta your skin!
4. Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo // Let's be real, there's plenty of days where ya just don't want to wash your tresses, so this product is a must! Must must. Perfect and light weight with a nice scent.
5. Contigo 32oz BPA-Free Water Bottle // Hydration is a necessity and this bad boy keeps me on point.
6. Vicks Cool Moisture Humidifier // I was super stuffed up the first few months and throughout pregnancy and this humidifier seemed to help a ton. May not have cured my stuffy nostrils but it certainly cleared them out a bit.
7. Ugg Australia Baily Button Triple Boot // Real shoes, adios! I lived in these til the weather warmed up and I needed some flip flops. Bending over to put shoes on is just not gonna happen, so having an easy to pull on shoe was major. May-jor!
8. Papaya Enzyme // If you suffer from heartburn and acid reflux like little old me, buy yourself some of these chewable tablets. Aids in digestion to help alleviate the burning heart.
9. Eos Lip Balm in Pomegranate Raspberry // Chapped lips? This is a necessity!
10. Basq Resilient Body Oil in Eucalyptus Spa // Smells delicious and goes on smoothly. It may not have entirely prevented my stretchmarks (I got a zillion) but it sure felt nice to slather on.
And there ya have it folks!
