Designed by a nurse and mom, this Snoogle molds to an expectant mother’s frame to support problem areas like hips, back, neck, and tummy for every sort of sleeping position. And since it’s temperature controlled and machine-washable, she can use this product again and again from trimester one to three.

Make mama feel better about her body during pregnancy. This natural belly butter helps with just that.

Since the buds are portable and discreet, you can play to your infant from the convenience of your desk, the couch, or really anywhere at all. Just call it one pretty sweet sound system.

If you can’t narrow it down to just one gift, you might want to try a gift set like the Bump Box, with one box specifically designed for each trimester of pregnancy. The 1st Trimester Bump Box includes a reusable BPA-free water bottle and a set of month-marking belly stickers perfect for Instagram photos.

The First trimester box also comes with organic lemon, grapefruit, and orange bath bombs that are safe to use during pregnancy, No Mo Nausea acupuncture/aromatherapy wristbands, a set of Sparkling Mama Fizzleixirs (caffeine-free powdered dietary supplements to help with energy, for moms giving up or cutting back on coffee), and organic Preggie Pop Drops to help with morning sickness and nausea. These boxes also come in Second and Third Trimester options as well.

Let her reflect on all the wonderful thoughts, feelings, and experiences she’s encountering during her nine months of labor and love.

This special keepsake includes three openings to insert ultrasounds for every trimester, all enclosed in a beautiful silver shadowbox.

Staying comfy during sleep and while hanging out around the house is absolutely key for an expecting mom. This five-piece Everly Grey Maternity & Nursing PJ Set, in a stylish pattern, can be used throughout pregnancy and in the postpartum period for a nursing mom.

The PJ set includes underbelly fit pants with an elastic waist for comfort and versatility, a sleeveless V-neck top perfect for breastfeeding access, an elbow short sleeve robe, a sleep bra for nursing, and a fabric drawstring bag in the same pattern. Customers say they loved how lightweight, comfy, airy and loose the fabric was, making for the ideal maternity pajama set.

Hearing the sound of your baby's heartbeat is one of the greatest joys for any parent to be. Let them indulge in this gift in the comfort of their own home with this heartbeat baby monitor. Parents just apply any type of conductive gel to their pregnant belly, turn the monitor on, and try and find where the baby and the heartbeat is with the sensor (very similar to when you go to your doctor).

If you are newly pregnant you won't be able to hear this; most will start to hear at around 12 weeks. For moms who have had previous miscarriages or are nervous about the pregnancy, this baby monitor provides some added relief when they can hear their baby's heartbeat away. This should not be used as a replacement for doctor's visit, just as a "novelty."
