Maternity Essesntials

Maternity Clothing Essentials

• 2-3 maternity/nursing bras. We like the Bravado Body Silk Seamless nursing bra
  

• 1 Bella Band in either black or white so that you can wear your non-maternity clothes longer or wear your larger maternity clothes sooner.

• 1-2 good pair of maternity jeans. It is worth it to invest in at least one good pair of jeans. They may be more expensive, but they will last your entire pregnancy and they will make you look and feel great! We love Paige, Juicy, Paper Denim, and Serfontaine
  

• 3-4 maternity tees. We love Michael Stars Maternitee's! They are one size and most can be worn after you have your baby and some can be used for nursing, too!
  

• 2-3 soft yoga type pants or leggings.
  

• LBD! At least one Little Black Dress for date night with your husband!
  

• Comfortable shoes, i.e., flip flops! You might need to get a pair that is about a half size bigger to allow for swelling of your feet. Also, don't be surprised if your feet grow bigger and don't get smaller after you have your baby!
  

• Work wardrobe (if you still work) You don’t need a lot of suits now that your are pregnant. Your co-workers will likely be forgiving and more than understanding!

Comfort Essentials

• Full length body pillow which will help you to sleep more comfortably. Don't forget that the safest way to sleep is on your left side!

• Pregnancy wedge is nice for belly support when you are in bed

• Preggie Pops or Preggie Drops for morning sickness. These are just great to keep around the house in case another member of the family gets a stomach bug!
  

• Stretch mark cream or belly oil for itchy skin, which may occur as your belly expands. We love either Bella Mama oil or lotion or Mama Mio Tummy Rub/Lotions/Oils.
  

• Prenatal vitamins as directed by your doctor
  

• Folic acid is an important part of your diet. It is recommended that you take 600-800 mcg while pregnant.

• Always talk to your doctor about any questions or concerns.

Essential Pregnancy Books
