Many moms-to-be shared their essential items for pregnancy in a discussion thread. The most mentioned item was a body pillow, which helps with comfort and support during and after pregnancy. Another popular item is a maternity support band, which aids comfort and enables expectant mothers to keep wearing their regular clothes for longer. Both items were highly recommended for pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period.
Other useful items include maternity belts, wedge pillows, and general pillows, which help with comfort, support, and propping up baby bump while sleeping or sitting. These items are useful throughout pregnancy and also handy post-birth. Maternity belts alleviate hip and back pressure and are a godsend for some mamas-to-be.
While some women sang the praises of these must-have items, others found them unnecessary or discovered other helpful products such as maternity support wedges that help with heartburn and acid reflux. Ultimately, each pregnancy is different, and every expectant mother has unique needs when it comes to comfort and support. However, there's no harm in being prepared and trying out some of these popular recommendations. It's a good idea to stock up on these items early so you can figure out what works best for you and your bump!

Hello everyone,
As many of you here are expecting, I thought it might be helpful to have a thread dedicated to must-haves and general recommendations for products that helped you through pregnancy!
What are some items you found most useful during your pregnancies? This could include clothing, comfort aids, nutrition/supplements, skincare, books or any other items that got you through those nine months.
I'll go first! My pregnancy essential was a body pillow - it helped me get comfortable in bed and supported my bump. I also lived in loose maxi dresses and invested in a good pregnancy Pillow for extra comfort.
What were your essentials?
