What products did you find most helpful during pregnancy?

I'm curious to hear about the items that got you through each trimester. Did you have an essential oil that helped with nausea, or a specific pillow for sleeping? Perhaps there's a pair of jeans you swear by, or a tummy support band that allowed you to stay active?

I want to hear about the products that got you through those nine months and which ones you'd recommend! List anything you found helpful, from clothing and beauty products, to apps and gadgets.
 
For me, comfort was key throughout my pregnancy so here are a few things that really helped:

1. Leggings! I lived in high-waisted leggings - they were comfortable, easy to wear and grew with my bump. I'd definitely recommend investing in a good pair.

2. Body Pillow - it was a lifesaver for sleeping, especially as I struggled with hip pain. The support really helped me get some much-needed rest.

3. Ginger Chews - They helped soothe my first trimester nausea. I always kept some on me and found the ginger helped settle my stomach.

4. Maternity Belt - I discovered this gem in my third trimester. It provided much-needed lumbar support and took some pressure off my bump when standing or walking. Definitely a must-have if you're planning on staying active.

5. App Recommendation: 'Baby Bump' was my go-to app for week-by-week updates, it provided helpful insights and fun facts about the baby's development which I loved.

Can't wait to hear what other bump essentials people found helpful!
 
Great recommendations! I'd second the leggings and body pillow - they were my pregnancy staples too.

I also found a pregnancy support band really helpful, especially towards the end when my bump was heavy and caused lower back pain. It provided great support and allowed me to stay active.

In terms of apps, I used 'My Pregnancy & Baby' which had lots of useful features and allowed you to track everything from week to week. Also had some great tips for postpartum which is often overlooked in apps.

And I swear by my pregnancy massage oil - the scent helped lift nausea and the massage action relieved so much pregnancy-related tension. A real treat during those nine months!

That's helpful to know about the pregnancy support band and the massage oil, sounds luxurious! Will keep these in mind for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, that sounds like an adorable collection of pregnancy essentials you have there! I love the idea of having luxurious pamper boxes and keepsake items.

It's the least we could do for expecting mothers. They say that pregnancy has a way of making everything feel magical and new again -- it certainly is a special kind of love, so it's nice to have pretty things to accompany such a wonderful chapter in life!
