Hello Cyber World, Megyn here!! I took a small hiatus due to this growing little BOY. I gotta tell ya that first trimester just about killed me. We FOR SURE thought we had another little girl on the way (isn't that the common fact: you are more sick with girls) so we were pretty shocked when we found out we had a Mr. on the way!
With Jordyn having gone through two pregnancies and myself this being my second, this list is tried and true from one mama to another! Share with us what you have loved during your pregnancies!!
1 || Target Maternity Leggings || This one is a no brainer...what pregnant mama hasn't lived in stretchy pants. These are our favorites...cheap and cute.
2 || Body Pillow || It's not technically the actual pregnancy pillow but who wants to spend the money on one...when this pillow follows the same principle as the pregnancy pillow. We both have both used ours pretty much our whole pregnancy, it makes sleeping so much more comfortable to be able to have support between your legs.
3 || Tee's || These are cheap and well made quality...they hold up for your whole pregnancy and with the side ruching are flattering on your growing belly.
4 || Cotton Dresses || This dress seems to stretch with you as you grow...and not in an unflattering way. We are all about being kept cool while pregnant and with the knee length, short sleeves, and light material this one is a winner.
5 || BodyLotion || Tried and true with my first pregnancy, helps to relieve my dry, itchy skin and the smell is right on point.
6 || Prenatal Gummies || I didn't have a problem with prenatals with my first pregnancy but being as sick as I am I can't seem to keep down the Costco prenatals...too much iron i've been told. These gummies taste good and I can stomach them. The trick I've found is to take them in the middle of the day with lunch (or when you are feeling your best) try to avoid right before bed though.
7 Ovia Pregnancy App: The more commonly known apps which we have both used and loved are What To Expect and The Bump App but the Ovia App is more a little more detailed and gives you more info on your weekly updates as well as daily updates.
8 || Nike Shoes || These shoes are at a $40.00 discounted right now....so jump on it. Every pregnant woman wants to stay active with your pregnancy....that's hard to do without some good shoes. Not only do we love the comfort of these shoes (durable support shoes help so much with lower back pain) but they are neutral colors which can be worn with anything.
9 || Bra Extender || With a rib cage that is daily expanding these little things will be your best friend. If you like us want to wear your regular bra vs. a nursing bra during your pregnancy. Motherhood Maternity also carries bra extenders.
10 || Bringing Up Bebe || Aside from all the norm pregnancy books this New York Times Bestseller is a must read. An American Journalist has her baby in Paris and writes all about the "French Parenting" way of raising your kids.
Motherhood is one of the most special and treasured times of a woman's life. During her pregnancy, a woman is believed to be in her most beautiful state. Though motherhood is highly esteemed, it can be tiring and sometimes painful for the women who have to carry an extra load in their bodies. best pregnancy pillow
