1. A jar of Burt's Bees belly butter, so your skin won't get dry and sore from making room for the baby. It's made with a skin-conditioning blend of shea, cocoa, and jojoba butters, so your skin can get the softness and stretch it deserves to get through this.
2. A hilarious activity book just for pregnant people. It's filled with quizzes, journaling activities, fill-in-the-blanks, and mazes for the parent who likes to take on every challenge with a steady dose of humour and sarcasm.
3. A U-shaped pillow you can use in several ways to make sleeping, sitting, or just lounging a lot more comfortable. Reviewers find it especially useful for bump support while sleeping on their side.
4. A pair of memory foam slippers that'll cradle your feet while keeping them sweat and odour free. The foam insole adjusts to the contours of your arches, and the bottom is anti-slip, so you're both safe and stress free.
5. Love You Forever, the iconic illustrated book by Robert Munsch, about positive affirmations and unconditional love between a parent and their child. It's a bestseller and most reviewers say this 1986 classic made them cry (but in a good way).
6. Some maternity underwear that's design to go under your baby bump, so you won't experience tugging or pressure. These are made of stretchy cotton, so they'll keep you breezy and relaxed all day, every day.
7. A keepsake photo frame for your first sonogram, because you fell in love with baby the second you saw them. You can keep it on your nightstand for comforting thoughts through the trimesters, and use it as nursery decor when the baby's here.
8. A racerback bra that's free of underwire and elastic enough to accommodate growing breasts. The racerback design helps distribute the weight of your breasts evenly, so your shoulders and back won't get sore.
9. A chic V-neck midi dress, because dressing up can be such a mood-lifter. It's made of linen-cotton, so it'll feel light and airy on your skin. The knee-length cut ensures it won't ride up on your baby bump and get too short for comfort.
10. A pregnancy support belt you can wear to reduce abdominal pressure and keep your back from hurting. The brace is adjustable, meaning it'll last you throughout your pregnancy and even be helpful post partum.
11. An adult colouring book that'll help you take your stress down a few notches, especially if you love cats. It's filled with cute and funny drawings of felines proudly showing off their pööp lööps.
12. A massive pack of Airheads to help you deal with your sour candy cravings, especially on days the nausea just won't subside. And if you're allergic to common snacks ingredients, these fruity treats are free of milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish extracts, and wheat.
13. A Vitamin C suspension from The Ordinary that'll help you tackle melasma and hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal changes. It has a grainy texture and I personally love using it mixed in with some moisturizer at night.
14. And an SPF50 sunscreen, so you can keep your skin protected, especially if it's become extra sensitive to the sun during your pregnancy. It's non-greasy, fragrance free, and rich in antioxidants.
15. A multipack of non-alcoholic wine spritzers for when everyone around you is sipping their boozy bubblies. It's made with Pinot Grigio grapes and has delicious notes of pear that'll help you not miss the spiked stuff as much.
16. A bottle of chewable antacids, because heartburn's a total B. These don't taste chalky and will provide quick relief when you're feeling like you ate a trail mix made entirely of hot coals and chilli peppers.
17. A compact pocket fan, because pregnancy can get real sweaty, real quick. It'll blow breeze at you for up to 21 hours on a single charge. Plus, it doubles as a power bank and a flashlight — yay for multipurpose stuff!
18. A pair of compression socks that'll prevent your legs and feet from swelling up and cramping. They'll help better your blood circulation and decrease chances of pulled and sprain muscles, so you can merrily go about your day.
19. Some ultra-thin pimple patches that'll stop hormonal acne in its tracks overnight. They're transparent, so they're virtually undetectable. And they're hydrocolloidal, which means they'll actually suck out all the gunk, oil, and bacteria in your zits, leaving them shrunken and healed.
20. A pregnancy essentials kit from Mio Skincare. It has a nourishing tummy butter to make your skin more elastic, a boob cream to ease growing breasts, a belly scrub for a lil' extra pampering, and a cooling gel especially formulated to help de-puff swollen legs, ankles, and feet.
21. And finally, some fragrant flowers to create a serene environment in your home. When things start taking a toll on you, fresh flowers and greenery can help lift your spirits. 🌸🌺🌹🌷
