HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

There’s a serious baby boom! Or is it just me? Not just me…I’m sure you feel the same way! Therefore, I figured with Christmas coming and all these mamas to be, it would be fun to do a holiday gift list for all the preggers girls out there because they need extra love!

HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR YOUR PREGNANT LADY

In this blog are a few of my favorite things that would’ve made me a happy mama bear while pregnant:

BODY CREAMS

FIrstly, it’s undeniable that when you’re pregnant your skin goes through a lot! Body oils and creams are a must throughout pregnancy. Here are some of my favorite products:

BASQ NYC Intensive Treatment Stretch Mark Butter: Loved this one! I used it everyday with the Resilient Body Stretch Mark Lavender Oil as a hydrating duo.

BASQ NYC Cooling Body Bliss – This one was especially amazing for my legs towards the secondhand last trimester.

MATERNITY CLOTHES

There are tons of cute maternity clothes out there now, and H&M or Pea in the Pod are great options. The sizing usually works by your usual size and how many months pregnant you are. For instance, 4 months is when I started showing, so I would’ve been really happy with some extra fashion items for my baby bump.

Here are a few suggestions for maternity fashion:

Flattering ruched pregnancy shirts like this one.

Maternity skinny jeans like these Levi’s.

Funny novelty tees in maternity sizing like this one.

MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT

This is a really nice thoughtful gift! Something to remember forever. If you’re looking for a maternity shoot photographer in Los Angeles, I would highly recommend my photographer Alissa Noelle Photography. Click here for Alissa’s website.

PREGNANCY PILLOW

We all heard the stories of people losing their mind over the pregnancy pillow….well, that’s because it’s hard to deny to need for them when you’re pregnant. I loved mine! Above all, it helped so much at night…especially towards the end. It was just so hard to lay on my side without it since we can’t lay flat on our backs. This would make the perfect gift!

I would recommend this one from Amazon called PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow since it’s reasonably priced and oh-so-comfy!

MATERNITY BOOKS

‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ by Heidi Murkoff 

‘Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad! How to Get (Both of You) Through the Next 9 Months’ by John Pfeiffer

‘Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting’ by Pamela Druckerman

I loved these books and Kyle really enjoyed the Dude, you’re gonna be a dad! book, and he learned so much from it that I didn’t have to explain.

HOLIDAY GIFTS

What would you add to this holiday gift guide for pregnant mommas-to-be?

GIFTS FOR DADS

Don’t worry, I did not forget about the dads! Read my blog on For Daddy – Your Christmas Shopping Guide for the best holiday gifts.

⁠ If a mother is breastfeeding and running into road blocks or should I say, milk blocks 😂🫠 ….. Noooo, your first advice shouldn’t be “screw it, just give them formula.” ⁠ I get it, This is an easy way out of a conversation but it is careless to run with the « give-it-up » mindset. ⁠we’ve all gotten a little lazy at valuing others (see recent post about this) and no, mothers that want to breastfeeding, are not « sacrificing » themselves. No, they’re not wasting time. No, there’s not better things to do if that’s what they really want to do and NO they’re not failing if breastfeeding is a priority and the house is a mess. ⁠ *this is not about formula shaming for the quick to comment who can’t live without identifying to everything* ⁠ ⁠ So, how about we ask a breastfeeding mother what her solutions would be?⁠ ⁠ There’s a plethora of reasons to breastfeed… I mean A LOT.⁠ ⁠ There is a plethora of reasons why breastfeeding or even formula feeding can not be ideal at times. ⁠ ⁠ There is a difference between a HINDRANCE and DETRIMENTAL. ⁠ ⁠ A hindrance in parenting has many positive options that can be explored; heck, that should be your FIRST advice. There you go.⁠ ⁠ Xx 💋 ⁠ ⁠ #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingsupport #themommycodes #losangelesblogger⁠
