Maternity Must-Haves

I'm sold! I've heard great things about bump-support leggings and how they help with back aches and pains too, definitely adding those to the list. Any other recommendations are most welcome - this mama needs all the comfort she can get!
Some of my friends swear by their pregnancy pillows, especially for comfortable sleep and SOFT cotton underwear that does not squash your poor expanding belly button!

Yes!! Pregnancy pillows are a God-send, I've heard stories of mums-to-be unable to sleep without them. They come in different shapes too - U-shaped, C-shaped etc., it can get pretty overwhelming! Maybe each design has its unique benefits, might be fun to try them out and see which suits best :) As for comfortable undies, I'm definitely going to need those - poor belly buttons indeed!! haha!
 
Pregnancy pillows sound like they'd be super helpful and fun to try! There's so many options it could feel daunting, but it's exciting to find what works best for you :D As for undies - I think that's a very practical must-have!

I found that pregnancy pillows were a godsend, especially towards the end of my pregnancy when I needed all the support I could get! I feel like it's a good idea to try out different types of pillows and see what works best for you - some mums-to-be might prefer a full-length one, but I found a small wedge pillow did the trick for me. As for undies, I stocked up on cheap cotton knickers in a bigger size - comfortable and practical!

I agree about the pillows, especially if you're looking for comfort and support! It's good to experiment with different shapes and sizes to see what works best for your changing body. And yes, cheap and comfy undies are a must-have; you don't want anything too tight during pregnancy.
 
Pillows are a one-stop solution for comfort, especially if you're pregnant and in need of back support! And yes, nothing too tight please - go for those cheap, comfy undies!

Comfortable, unstructured pillows that can be positioned to offer back support are a godsend during pregnancy. Also, some good loose-fitting underwear is definitely a must-have; you don't want anything digging into your skin!
 
I second the pillows - I found that having a few big, soft, scatter cushions around was a lifesaver, especially later on in my pregnancy for finding a comfortable position to sleep in!

I also swear by full-panel maternity leggings - they're so comfy and great for layering in winter, plus you can wear them post-partum too. Would definitely recommend investing in a good pair!

Cushions were a godsend for me too! I had a huge pregnancy pillow which was my best friend towards the end - helped me get some comfortable sleep when nothing else worked.
Full-panel leggings are an excellent idea and definitely worth the investment - comfortable clothing that grows with your bump is always a win!
