Top Holiday Gift Ideas for the Pregnant Mom

Christmas is just around the corner. Are you ready for the holidays? Whether you have a pregnant wife, a best friend who is expecting, or a daughter who will soon be a mom, you are probably looking for gift ideas for her. Here are my top picks for the pregnant mom. All of these gifts are useful and will make her pregnancy easier.

Finding a good night’s sleep when you’re huge is HARD. Experts recommend that expectant mothers sleep on their left side, but if she is used to sleeping on her back, side sleeping can be difficult to get used to. That’s why every pregnant mom needs a total body pillow for Christmas.

Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow
is a hit, and it has 5.5/6 stars on Amazon. The unique shape of this pregnancy pillow will support the mom-to-be’s back while she sleeps; it tucks in between the legs for extra comfort; it cradles her growing tummy; and it props up her head to reduce the heartburn, snoring, and congestion that often plagues expecting moms.

To have an easier labor, pregnant moms should workout on a regular basis. If she doesn’t have time to join a prenatal class, consider buying Summer Sanders’ Prenatal Workout
– which provides a comprehensive prenatal fitness program featuring the Olympian Gold Medalist, Summer Sanders.

This awesome prenatal workout video goes through each trimester, and it offers different intensity levels that she can try, depending on her energy level on that particular day. It’s an awesome holiday present for the pregnant mom in your life.

Perfect for women her pants begin to get too tight, the Bellaband is constructed for the pregnant woman to wear over unbuttoned pants and zippers. It offers a stylish way to keep her in her pre-pregnancy attire for a little bit longer. She can begin to wear it in her first trimester and throughout the length of her pregnancy. (It’s also useful in the postpartum period when her tummy isn’t quite back to the same size it was before.)

Morning sickness can make early pregnancy a living nightmare. To ease her nausea and vomiting, why not buy her some Preggie Drop Pops? These are all natural, drug-free anti-nausea candies that provide many moms-to-be temporary relief from their nausea. It’s made with a combination of essential oils and aromatherapy to provide morning sickness relief.

Like with other natural morning sickness remedies, it doesn’t work for everyone. But there are many expectant women who swear by Preggie Pop Drop. If morning sickness is making her miserable, why not try this natural remedy?

If nasal congestion is keeping her up all night, why not give the pregnant lady in your life some relief by buying a cool mist humidifier? The modern design of the Crane Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier is a stylish addition to any room, and the cool mist will moisten and provide relief from nasal congestion, dry itchy skin, dry throats, and other discomforts.

What pregnant woman wants to have stretch marks? Help prevent and minimize the appearance of stretch marks with Elasticity Belly Oil by Belli Skin Care. What I love, love about this stretch mark oil is that all the ingredients have been teratology screened to ensure that they have no link to birth defects or pregnancy-related problems. Belli Skin Care also allergy tests all of their products to ensure that they are allergen-free, and free of synthetic dyes, parabens, and phthalates.

OK, this isn’t really a holiday gift for the pregnant mom, but it will make her life easier once the baby arrives. The Itzbeen Baby Care Timer is a wonderful tool to help new parents learn the basic needs of their new child. This device has four timers that give you the time for the next changing, feeding, sleeping, and more. Sleep deprived parents can easily lose track of time, so this gadget does it for you. It is very helpful, and has a user friendly design.

Hang it on your baby’s nursery or around the house.
