My Maternity Must-Haves

Hi Friends! I know I’ve been a little MIA lately on the blog, but hey we’ve got a baby to prepare for! I am writing this as I am getting a killer headache and a little dizzy, but I’m going to power through.

I am by no means an expert on the momma front, but I thought I would share some items that have kept me sane and on track these past 7 months. I don’t know what I would have done without your recommendations on Instagram.

Thank you!

Most of these products, I’ve used and lived by! I’m going to highlight my favorites.

  1. Assets by Spanx Women's Micro Shaping Convertible Strap Slip - To smooth the bump

  2. Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bars - the only thing I use to clean my face and take off make-up, and it’s safe!

  3. Edible Cookie Dough - This comes in Nestle too and it’s perfectly dangerous when quenching your cravings. ;)

  4. Lance Toast Chee Peanut Butter Crackers- So good to fight nausea. Can’t eat these without thinking about my hubs.

  5. La Roche Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Oil Free Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion- I’ve worn this almost everyday when I know I’m going to be in the sun a lot. It’s gentle on my skin and feels amazing.

  6. Vitamin C Face Serum- I use a Vitamin C Serum every night. It rightens, tightens, and helps my skin glow. It’s a miracle serum. The doctor says it’s safe!

  7. Water Bottle with Motivational Time Marker- Because every time I go to the doctor, she tells me I need to drink more water. This is a fun way to monitor your drinking.

  8. Slippers- I LOVE in these! They keep my feet from hurting when walking around the house. …I bet these will be in the hospital bag too.

  9. Baby Bump Prenatal Speaker System- This has been a lifesaver to hear my baby’s heartbeat since we were not able to go to the doctor as much during the quarantine. It gives you great peace of mind.

  10. Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter & Bio-Oil- What I’m currently using to prevent stretch marks. So far, it seems to be working great! No marks so far!

  11. Olly Essential Prenatal Multivitamin - I’ve been taking these for months. They taste great and do not give me nausea. I just switched brands to Ritual. We’ll see how well I like them in a couple of weeks.

  12. Auden Women's Laser Cut Cheeky Bikini - The most comfortable undies I can find for a growing belly!

  13. Auden Women's Bliss Lightly Lined Wirefree Bra - Also the most comfortable bra! I have had to go up 3 sizes already! (Comes in nursing as well!)

  14. Pregnancy Pillow- How have I not used this until the 7th month? It was a game-changer for sleep!

  15. Long/Short Sleeve Nightgown Button Down Nightshirt- This sleep shirt from Amazon is SO dang comfortable. I plan to wear it at the hospital too!

  16. Herbal Iron Tablets- I’ve been battling with keeping my iron up from the beginning. My doctor recommended these to go easy on my stomach. They seem to work better for me than regular iron.

  17. Basic T-shirt Dress- I’ve been living in a T-shirt dress! I have one in every color. It’s comfortable on the bump. Dress it up or dress it down.

  18. Bead Name Bracelet- Because you have to rep your baby’s name NOW! : ) These are only $10!

  19. Nike Crew Shorts- Comfortable on the bump for athleisure wear.

  20. Pregnancy Belt, Waistband Extender- So you can wear your regular shorts! YAY!

  21. Women's Tulle Long Dress- I’m about to buy this for our Maternity Shoot.

    Alrighty gals, I hope that was a little helpful if you are expecting. We have a 3D/4D/ HD Ultrasound Thursday at Sneak-A-Peak and we are SO excited to see our baby’s face for the first time. Hurry up September!

    From my closest to yours, thanks for stopping by!
