Oh the joys of motherhood! Pregnancy is a wonderfully special time in a woman's life but it does come with its share of new challenges! Staying cool, comfortable, and healthy for your growing baby is at the upmost importance! In this article - I am sharing my 10 Most-Used Products during pregnancy! Some are maternity and some aren't, but all came in clutch during the last 38 weeks! If you're looking for some additional tips for your first trimester (hello nausea!) check pregnancy q&a here!
1. Hatch Restore 2
We use the Hatch Restore in our primary bedroom ? great for sleeping for us and will be helpful for baby too! The Hatch Restore 2 syncs with your phone for a full content library on their app! It is a sunrise alarm clock for gentle waking, a sound machine, and a smart light. A must have in my opinion for anyone - especially if baby will be in the room with you!

2. The Best Maternity Shorts
These maternity shorts came in handy! My second trimester was in the springtime and my third has been during the heat of the summer. These are great for lounging around the house, running errands, and working out. I purchased my pre-pregnancy size and have been able to wear them the entire time. The belly band is stretchy and soft (no compression at all) so it grows with your bump! And the material and light and comfortable! I got them in 3 different colors and they're under $20 on Amazon! Here's a link to my favorite maternity shorts!
3. Bio-Oil For Stretch Marks
38 weeks here and zero stretch marks so far! I'm sure genetics play a part ... but the fact that I used this oil on my belly 2 times a day probably helped too! Here's the link to the oil I (and all of my friends) swear by!
4. The Best Maternity Dress

I was able to wear this in my second and third trimester - it's roomy and super figure flattering! Here's the Amazon Link - only $24!
5. My Hospital Bag - The Beis Weekender
I LOVE this bag for weekend getaways and am planning to use it as my hospital bag. All of the compartments including the bottom compartment that is perfect for storing shoes or cosmetics away from your clothing! Here's a link to check it out! They have tons of beautiful colors - mine is beige!
6. Mary Ruth's Organic Iron Supplement
If you're like me (and tons of other pregnant mama's) and are slightly low on your iron levels, this Mary Ruth's Iron Supplement has been a big help! My bloodwork and iron levels came back much better and this one is liquid meaning it may be more absorbable. Also, this one didn't cause me any constipation which is common for iron supplements. I trust this brand, their research, and cleaner ingredients. Here is a link!
7. Rest Cooling Comforter
If you're like me and get hot flashes at night, the Rest Cooling Comforter is going to be your best friend. It is light as air, silky/buttery soft, and super breathable. I've never slept with something so light and airy before and am SO thankful we invested in this product! Here's the link on Amazon!
8. The Best Pregnancy Pants
Comfy, soft, stretchy, and zero compression/restriction for the bump! I have been wearing them since my second trimester and they've grown with me. I bought my pre-pregnancy size. Absolutely couldn't recommend more. These pants are great for lounging at home (seriously they are so soft) running errands, and can be dressed up for church or going out to dinner! Here is the link on Amazon - $20 well spent!
9. Honeywell Tower Fan
When the AC just isn’t enough during the third trimester lol .. we’ve been using this floor fan in our bedroom every night! Originally we purchased for the baby’s room since there’s no ceiling fan in the nursery. We highly recommend! Here's the link on Amazon - It was only $59!
10. Pregnancy Pillow
My friends have sworn by it and I wasn't sure why. Until second trimester hit and I found myself building a fort with 4-5 pillows each night in order to support my growing body and baby bump! This pregnancy pillow was a life saver! Here's the amazon link!
