pregnancy must have items, first pregnancy, maternity clothes

Figuring out what to buy for your first pregnancy is tough. Here are a few of my pregnancy favorites and must have items!

Body Pillow- This was a must have for me when it came to being able to sleep comfortably. I loved it and felt like it added the perfect amount of support.


Vitamin E Oil- I used this twice a day as soon as I found out we were expecting and it worked wonders. I mixed it with the Burts Bees Belly Butter and didn't get a single stretch mark!!!! I covered the top of my chest to my thighs. It got a little messy on some clothes but it was worth it to me. I made sure to always wear a basic tank under my shirts so I had a little barrier between my belly and my shirts.


Burts Bees Belly Butter- In my first trimester anything scented made me nauseous. I found this and instantly fell in love. It is unscented and I must have gone through 8 tubs.


Snacks- I felt like I could never make up my mind with what sounded good so I would just buy a variety of snacks and keep the pantry stocked.

Bump Book- I LOVED having one of these! It is a fun way to document your pregnancy journey


Protiva Smoothie Mix- My Dr. suggested this mix and I originally hated it. It took me a while to figure out a recipe that I liked using it in but this is what I came up with: 1 scoop of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 a frozen banana, a scoop of flax-meal, a small scoop of Ovaltine, and a couple ice cubes. I drank this every morning and even bought the postpartum version for after Bella was born.


Jeggings- I didn't want to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes so I shopped around until I found something I would be able to wear as long as possible. I found an amazing pair at Kohl's and even got them in 2 colors. Kohls also always has great sales so I got them at a really reasonable price. I am still shocked that these stayed comfortable throughout my pregnancy and I even wore them for a couple months postpartum.

Maternity Yoga Pants- These yoga pants from Kohl's were also one of my favorite.

Other Clothes- I also had really good luck with maternity clothes from H&M, they are all very cute and if you catch them during a sale, you can get them for really inexpensive. Their nursing tanks that come in a two pack were some of my favorite. Boohoo also has extremely cute/ fashionable maternity clothes. I bought a bunch of stuff from them. The quality is not the best but it only needs to last you a few months.

Long Tanks- I loved that these came in a pack. They are a basic essential that everyone needs for their wardrobe while pregnant.


Wirefree Bras- I found these at Target and loved them. I had to get a couple different sizes during and after my pregnancy but these were so comfortable and were such as reasonable price.
