Pregnancy Gift Basket

 The moment I found out I was expecting Bella my whole world changed. Aside from being horribly sick, I was the happiest women in the entire world. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, of course without throwing up a lung. It was also one of my hardest moments. I wanted to know everything and googled almost 183,840 times a day. I wanted to make sure I was taking care of myself and my baby. If you have googled anything you know it’s probably not the best idea ever. The results will take you on 200 directions and at least in one of them, you’ll end up dead.  All of this to say pregnancy is the first step on a very unknown road no matter if this is your first rodeo or you have done it a few times. They do say every pregnancy and child is different right?! To help with the unknown I have decided to make a pregnancy gift basket full of goodies I loved during my pregnancy with Bella and all which will be in use with any future pregnancies, plus half of my friends are pregnant. Let’s start!

Water Bottle: We should all be taking at least 8 glasses of 8oz of water daily but honestly, I know most people don’t even do 4 glasses.I have figured out that if I find a cup I like enough is more likely that I drink from it. Many times I carry just your old regular water bottle and keep reusing it over and over again!

 Nature Made® Prenatal Multi + DHA (200mg) 150ct. softgels: These are one of the things I researched like crazy. I ended up going with and never looked back. I started taking my vitamins 6 months before we started trying and all throughout my pregnancy. I love that it comes in a gel pack and I get no extra (unwanted) flavors, on top of that it’s one dosage and done! It’s very easy to swallow, and again it’s just one softgel! #winning Definitely my choice of vitamins next time around. They also provide

Blanqi Girls Support Tank: I’m 5’0 and I usually have a big belly by 6 months, which looks more like a 9 months belly and my back knows it. I bought two tanks with Bella and they saved my back. If you have never heard of these girls, believe you need one!

Saltine Crackers: Honestly this will probably be the only thing you’ll hold down and adding a sleeve in your bag is just what your body needs.

Preggers Tshirt: Once you have decided that it time to tell the world I love a good tee that can be worn later one with a dress underneath.

Coconut oil with Gentle Baby: The first time around I used a stretch mark cream and it helped a lot but it wasn’t enough so next time I want to try something new. I made this cream for my tummy and I can’t wait to use it!  I mix it with coconut oil and Gentle baby oil by Young Living.

A Notebook: I love to write and writing letters to my baby was one of my favorite things. It’s something that I give to every new mom as pregnancy may seem long but each moment brings such peace! Most of these items I used with Bella and once we get pregnant again we will be adding all of these into our life!

The best thing you can get Nature Made Prenatal® Multi + DHA (200mg) 150ct. softgels  at your local Sam’s Club! No need to order them and wait for them to be delivered.

What would you include? Is there something that helped you through your pregnancy?
