Big Drinking Cup
Pregnant and nursing mamas need extra water intake. Approximately 90 oz of water per day is best. Using a large cup like this one gives no excuse for dehydration. Help a mama out and keep her feeling her best. Add some Electrolyte powder packs and you have a perfect refueling gift.
Pregnancy Affirmations Coloring Book
The majority of expecting mothers have anxiety about giving birth. Help them ease some anxiety and stress by giving them one of the best birthing tools around. A pregnancy & birth affirmations coloring book. This book has birth affirmations on every page for your pregnant loved one to learn and repeat to calm her nerves and ease her fears about giving birth. Affirmations combined with the action of coloring (art therapy) is sure to give her some relief and relaxation.
Pregnancy Journal
A pregnancy journal is perfect for expecting moms to document everything going on during pregnancy. She can have this book to look back on for years to come and remember parts of her pregnancy she may have otherwise forgotten.
Pregnancy And Birth Books
Help her prepare her mind and body for birth by providing her much-needed knowledge of what’s to come. These books are ones I read during pregnancy and felt so much more prepared and relaxed. I recommend them for any and every pregnant mama:
Tesalate Sand Free Towel
Tesalate towels are great to use as the obvious, towels; but also a picnic blanket, throw blanket, or workout mat. I got one and use it all the time as a picnic blanket to have a place to sit and soak up some vitamin D and fresh air with my little ones.
This is perfect for new mamas whose baby may need a little support from the sun to get rid of jaundice. They can relax together on this towel on the sand, dirt, grass, you name it. Clean-up is fast and easy. Just give the towel a shake and notice how nothing sticks to it!
Comfy Pajamas
After giving birth, your pregnant loved one needs to be relaxing at home caring for herself and her new baby. She’s gonna be in her pajamas a lot during this time in her life. What gift could be better than some comfy pajamas!?
Postpartum Essentials
- Peri bottle (used for cleaning comfortably down there after birth)
- Perineum spray (used for healing the skin down there)
- Nora tea (provides essential nutrients Mama needs for healing, electrolytes to stay hydrated, and lactation support)
As mentioned In the beginning of this post. The mother tends to be forgotten once the baby arrives. Show her you care about HER and the baby, by providing personal care items to help her body heal inside and out.
Foot Spa
New mamas do a lot of sitting. They also tend to not have time or energy to pamper themselves. A foot spa paired with some nice lavender Epsom salt is a perfect way to show her you care. She can sit on the couch watching her favorite TV show while soaking her feet and loving on her new bundle of joy.
Paid-For Photoshoot For Baby/Family Photos
Adjusting to life with a new baby can be overwhelming for some mamas. So much so that they forget to document that beautiful time in their life. Give the gift that will last a lifetime and purchase a gift certificate for a photoshoot (let Mama to pick the date) for the growing family.
Jewelry With Baby’s Birthstone Or Name
Something I don’t have yet, but would absolutely love to have is Jewelry with my children’s birthstones or names on it. As a mom, our children are our pride and joy, and what better way to show them off and keep them closer to her heart than a piece of jewelry she will love.
