Pregnancy Must-Haves

Filed Under: Pregnancy Tagged With: must-haves, sponsored

This post contains products I was sent for review and affiliate links. All opinions expressed are my own.

Now that I have reached the 32-week mark I thought I would share what has helped me get through my pregnancy so far. Here are my top 5 pregnancy must-haves.

Pregnancy Must-Haves

5 Pregnancy Must-Haves

1. Boppy Total Body Pillow | This pillow is a sleep saver. I love that you can customize it to what you need while sleeping. My sleep greatly improved after receiving this pillow. It also came with a brochure that Boppy & First Candle put together to share healthy habits for expecting moms.

2. Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Morning Wellness Tea | This tea helped with my nausea in the very beginning. I was really nauseous all the time and this helped to ease my tummy troubles. Plus it was really tasty. I enjoy a nice cup of tea in the morning anyway so no caffeine was a plus for me.

3. Gentle Babies | I have been reading through this book so much the past few months. It talks about the best way to use Young Living Essential Oils while pregnant, during childbirth, and for your children.

4. Belly Flopz | It gets very hot during the Summer here and I knew I would be making many trips to the pool. I love that this float had a little cut out for my belly. It was nice being able to relax and enjoy floating around on my stomach.

5. Baby Belly Band | I have been wearing this belly band sooo much. It really helps to support my stomach and ease my back pain. Mine has held up well, I bought it during my pregnancy with Carsyn.

What pregnancy must-haves do you recommend to new moms?

    YES to the body pillow! I wish they had that when I was pregnant. I used so many pillows trying to accomplish the same thing.

    I love gentle babies. I wish I had it during my last pregnancy. I wished I used oils then too. That Belly flopz float is awesome and hilarious and awesome! lol

    I wanted one of those floats so bad last summer! What a relief to be able to lay on your belly for a bit. I had a different type of belly band that I slept in during the last half of my pregnancy with Elise. Was a huge help for my round ligament pain. Thankfully, it wasn't necessary during the day. The other 3 items I never tried. My husband is probably grateful I never had one of those pillows - we have a full size bed (yes, full size) so there's no way he would have fit with a pregnant me + that pillow! LOL

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
