Maternity Must Haves?

[sully326]

Without a doubt, my pregnancy pillow. I seriously couldn't sleep without it!

Maternity Jeans. They are a gift from the heavens.

Lotion. My skin is so dry and itchy right now it's driving me nuts!

I'm sure there's others so I may come back to this...

My must haves are leggings from Motherhood Maternity, Old Navy maternity t-shirts, baggy sweatpants (non-maternity) from Target for home, and lots of dresses (it's HOT where I live). Also, this might not be pregnancy related, but I can't live without cross-body bags. I don't have the patience or willpower to carry a big/heavy purse anymore! Oh and pineapple. Lots of pineapple! And ice cream!!!!!!!!

Pineapple has been a HUGE craving for me!

I've been using the heck out of my Bump Nest pillow, Bio Oil, and nursing/maternity tank tops. They are the things pregnancy dreams are made of.

[sugarkissed]

My Snoogle, Diclectin, and emergency chocolate stashes at all times.

I forgot to list TUMS! How could I forget my TUMS? I would die without them.

[junch817]

Pillows! My pregnancy pillow has been a lifesaver. Kicking myself for not getting one the first time! And I can't sit on our (terrible) couches anymore without a pillow behind my back.

Love my maternity pajamas, jeans, and shirts.

Blackberries (usually don't care for them but now I'm obsessed), salads, Easy Cheese (hanging my head in shame), ice cream (Orange/vanilla swirl), Swedish fish, chocolate, McDonalds fruit and yogurt parfaits are AMAZING.

Oh and how could I forget my Zofran??!

[jessila]

Zofran. There's no way I would have made it this far without it.

Also, old Navy maternity yoga pants, my tempurpedic king size bed (it's heaven every night!!), maternity shirts with rouching, salsa, and milk.

junch817 I may have just finished my secret Easy Cheese stash :-)

[tatersalad]

Maternity jeans, the supportive nursing bras I'm already forced to bust out, panty liners (thanks cold and snissing season), leachco pregnancy pillow, Zofran, Tums Smoothies, Benadryl, Nesquick chocolate milk and La Croix.

Oh and how can I forget the Miralax and stool softeners thanks to Zofran. I'm big on the meds this time around.

I'm seriously about to cave. I feel like this is a must have for a tummy sleeper like me. Supports the pelvis as well so there's no back strain.

that looks amazing!!! I'm a die hard tummy sleeper (still trying to make it work at 22 weeks) I don't think I'll get any sleep when I can't anymore:( 

[tiffbot]

Come warmer weather, definitely comfy/maxi dresses!

ETA: WATER!

I have a pair from motherhood maternity and while I think they are comfortable, they do fit a bit weird. They are a little loose around the ankle, you don't have that problem? It's also probably because of the way I sit at my desk but the left leg always seems to spin around so the seam is toward the front. I mean, they are super comfortable, but I was just wondering if there were better ones out there. My regular leggings from kohls and target don't have either of those problems.

I just bought tons of pineapple from Sams Club. I can't have enough!

Actually yes they are loose. I got them early on in my pregnancy, so they've started to get tighter with washing (and my weight gain). But I don't wear them to work because of how they fit. For work I use yoga pants from Target (non-maternity). The MM ones are just softer and more comfy for everything else.

They are definitely soft and they fit great around my belly. Just a little loose on the lower half I still wear them constantly, don't get me wrong! I do want another pair of maternity leggings, but thinking of getting them somewhere else this time.

[maddib]

So where did everyone buy their pregnancy pillow? The snoogle is it? I see them online at amazon but I would rather go to a store so I know exactly what I am buying.

We got it at either BRU or at BBB. I think you can get them online, too. Definitely worth it!

[mcp6286]

I'll jump on the loving my Snoogle train; it drastically improved my sleep quality! Got mine at Motherhood. I was refusing to buy it b/c it's $60 and finally DH got annoyed with me and told the girl we were buying it regardless of what I said lol. Once I tried it, I was so glad!

Also in love with my Liz Lange super soft pullovers from Target and my Pea in the Pod skinnies. Just got some pregnancy leggings from Motherhood and think they're about to become a necessity too.

On the food end: green tea (decaf), berries, cereal, egg whites. All things I enjoyed pre-pregnancy but that apparently baby girl can't live without!

This.  "Very basic cotton underwear".  However, I'd add "panty liners" to my pregnancy must haves.  Seriously.
