MaMa Mio lotion/products: Everyone raves about their Tummy Rub including celebrity fitness expert Tracy Anderson who used it all during her pregnancy. All I have to say is stretch marks be gone! I’m going to protect my tummy (and boobs, hips and thighs) against them with their super-elasticizing oils and butters. The secret ingredients include Omega-packed blends of organic oils in an organic Shea Butter base.
Maternity Thong from Pea in the Pod: I may be pregnant but I’m not going to walk around dressed in a sleeping bag for the next nine months. That’s why I was sure to snag a maternity thong from Pea in the Pod. When it comes to something like thongs, you want to buy from the (pregnancy wear) master!
Earth Mama Angel Baby Tea Sampler: I love this tea sampler because it provide 100% organic, non-GMO and kosher teas that fix a number of pregnancy ailments, from nausea and heartburn to anxiety (hello, labor!). On top of that they’re soothing and tasty!
Mayo Clinic Pregnancy Book: Pregnancy is one of the biggest body and life changes a woman will undergo, which is why I’m relying on this team of experts from the Mayo Clinic to serve as my pregnancy resource. It covers everything from embarrassing questions you wish someone would answer to how to deal with life after baby! #MustRead!
Preggie Pops: Morning Sickness relif and a sucker in one? Sign me up! Not only are these tasty treats natural and drug free, they also come in great flavors including lavender, ginger, tangerine and peppermint!
Boppy Body Pillow: Finding comfort when trying to sleep while pregnant often means relying on a body pillow for sweet relief. I love this one by Boppy and cool because it comes with three separate pieces which means you can use the combination that works best for you. This awesome pillow covers: Head/Neck Support, Belly/Back Support, and Hip/Leg/Ankle Support. It also has an extended length design provides support all the way down to your ankles, alleviating strain on hips.
Belli Skincare Anti-blemish Face Wash: Pregnancy not only changes your body but it changes your skin as well! That’s why I’ve been relying on Belli Skincare to keep my skin fresh for work and camera ready for my TV segments! Why do I love it? It’s chemical and paraben free, allergy tested, cruelty free and isn’t sticky or greasy.
Tank by Yummie: Oh how I love this piece by Yummie – Heather Thomson you’re a mom after my own heart! This tank is my new staple in my wardrobe because they don’t ride up. They also have a nursing tank for once you deliver that I will definitely be snagging as well!
H & M Maternity skinny jeans: Let me just say this: I will not invest hundreds and hundreds of dollars in maternity clothes including jeans that I will not need again for the foreseeable future. That’s why I love these maternity jeans from H & M: they’re cute, comfortable and affordable! Homerun!
Pregnancy support hose, tights, knee highs, etc: Oh the “pregnant versions” of things I’m learning I have to buy now as a mom to be, including hosiery. The good news, I’ve discovered however, is that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion or colors because you’re pregnant, just head over to Preggers and snag the styles that suit you!
Tylenol: Oh Tylenol I love you! It’s a pregnant woman’s best friend and it’s the only medication you can take. Which reminds me: AVOID taking Aspirin, Aleve, Motrin and Ibuprofen unless your doctor says it’s OK. Doctor’s orders!
