Since we are approaching the end of this pregnancy I wanted to write a little post of the items that has gotten me through. I didn't do a post per trimester, but pretty much everything on this list has carried me through the last two trimesters. My first trimester was super easy so there wasn't much I needed, besides a nap. So here we go. My top ten essential items for the 2nd and 3rd Trimester.
1. A double walled re-useable water bottle. Trying to keep up with the amount of water intake you need for your pregnancy is hard. I like my water cold and these tumblers insulate and keep your water colder for longer. I have several of them and I refill them many times a day.
2. The Baby Center App. This helped to keep me on track and gave me a little insight into what was in my near future. It also has lots of tips and tricks and information that you will need. It's a good one to get if you have a smart phone.
3. Maxi Dresses. Once you hit a certain point in your pregnancy you just want to be comfortable. I have several maxi's that make their rotation throughout each week. They are just as comfortable as sweats, but look better.
4. Body by Victoria Bra. I have never been a huge fan of VS bras, but once the bust line started to increase I knew I needed something comfortable that would cover them. These bra's are so comfy! I can't believe I lived without them for so long. I know they will have to retire soon and make way for nursing bras, but these were a major pregnancy staple!
5. Spearmint Tums. Heartburn has been one major complaint. It doesn't matter what I eat, anything can bring on the heartburn. These have been my best friend! I keep them in my purse or on my nightstand! I tried the smoothies, but I wasn't a fan.
6. Desk Fan. I started to run hot, and instead of being mean and cranking the ac and freezing out the office, I just got a fan that plugged into my computer. It's such a relief to have some air circulation.
7. Comfortable shoes. I prefer my Reef leather sandals, but feel free to use whatever you like. We started to walk a lot, in an effort to stay relatively in shape and to hold off the weight.
8. Juicy fruits. I guess this was my main craving. Fruits with lots of water content. Don't get me wrong. I had lots of unhealthy choices, but this is what I have wanted the most!
9. Pregnancy Pillow. While it hasn't worked unbelievably good, it still has helped me sleep. I was having major hip cramping, so this helped a lot while supporting my growing belly and head. I recommend getting something to help support your changing body!
10. Mabelline's Fit Me concealer. Guys, not only have I broken out like mad during this pregnancy, the lack of sleep also takes its toll on your under eye area. I love this concealer for my under eye area. It's not the greatest at covering blemishes, but it helps you to look awake and really that's important to me!
Well there you have it folks. The items that have gotten me through this pregnancy. I of course have an honorable mention of my pre-natal vitamins. Those are essential to any woman's pregnancy! What has gotten you through your pregnancy?
