Pregnancy Pillow
Using a pregnancy pillow can help not only with sleeping better but with many of the aches and pains during pregnancy. They can be used in bed and can also be used when lounging around to help a pregnant mama find a more comfortable position.
C-Shaped Pillow
Best for full body support

Belly Support Belt
These belts can be used to help prevent or ease back pain. They are also great to help support a growing belly and ease ligament pain.
Compression Socks
Not only is swelling a common and pesky symptom of pregnancy, but varicose veins can make an appearance as well. If you know a pregnant mama who is on her feet for long periods of time, these will be the perfect gift!
There are so many fun ones to choose from. Just be sure to check the size.
Water Bottle
Drinking a lot of water is not only essential during pregnancy but it can be one of the biggest ways to help relieve the worst of symptoms! And it's hard to get enough water. A cute water bottle is the perfect practical gift!
Heating Pad
I had a lot of neck pain in the beginning of my pregnancy and a heating pad was a lifesaver! With pregnancy comes a ton of aches and pains so check out these different styles - one may just be the perfect gift!
Pampering Gift Ideas
It's never a bad idea to pamper a pregnant mama! With so many changes going on, taking some time to care for themselves is a great gift idea!
Body/Belly Butter
Not only is using a body butter great for a growing belly but during pregnancy, you can get some SERIOUSLY dry skin!! These are some great belly butters. You can also make a homemade one and flavor it with your own essential oils!
Essential Oils
Only some essential oils are safe during pregnancy and these are some of my favorites! Lavender is calming and great for skin. Frankincense is a powerful anxiety reliever, destresser and also great for skin. And peppermint can help boost energy when feeling fatigued and also especially help with nausea!
You can diffuse these oils, roll them on in diluted quantities or add them to your favorite products!
Diffuser
Be sure to gift a diffuser with a bottle of essential oils. This is the perfect gift for pregnancy and beyond because you can use it in so many ways both for mama and baby after the little one arrives!
Pregnancy Journal
One of the best ways to document pregnancy is through a week by week pregnancy journal. Encourage mama to slow down and appreciate those little kicks, hiccups and nesting moments with a journal like this one. You can even include some fun stickers to make it more special!
Preparing for Labor
Especially as a new expectant mama, preparing for labor is like entering into unknown territory! There are so many things to learn and so many ways to make the process easier. Here are some of the best gifts to help mama prepare!
Birthing Ball
A birthing ball is great for during pregnancy, during labor and beyond! It can be used to help relieve pain during pregnancy and to do exercises to prepare the body for labor. It also can be used during labor and as a regular exercise ball afterward! And there are so many fun ones to choose from!
Pregnancy Teas
There are so many benefits to the different pregnancy teas available. Especially for the mama looking for a speedy and healthy natural birth, these are perfect to prepare and nourish the body during pregnancy.
Clip-on Fan
Using a clip-on fan while in labor can be a lifesaver for those hot and sweaty hours! Give the gift that mama will be thanking you for once baby is born!

One of the most exciting things during pregnancy is preparing for the little one's arrival and dreaming of what he or she will be like! Sometimes the waiting is tough and getting little outfits and baby gifts make the journey so much more fun! You can help mama prepare with one of these fun gifts!

I need to get a belly band! On my 5th pregnancy and can feelthe belly pressure at already. Thanks for the list!
My sister got the body pillow as a present when she was pregnant and honestly, it looks so good that I want one for myself and I am not even pregnant!
Great list! I started sleeping with a belly pillow wedge when I was pregnant with my second and I still can’t sleep without it, even though my baby is almost six, haha!
Great gift guide for pregnant moms! Gosh, I wish many of these were available when I was expecting. Neat products!
What a great collection of comfortable things for a pregnant momma! Those pillows look like they would have been super comfortable when I needed them!
