I did have to accommodate for some of pregnancy symptoms.
Camera- Capture that cute bump! I've been taking weekly photos and I already love looking back at the transformation so far.
Chapstick- My lips were constantly dry. I'm sure being in the middle of winter didn't help but they were worse than usual.
Humidifierr- Nobody mentions the pregnancy nose! When you get pregnant everything starts to swell - most people mention the feet - well it turns out your nose does too. This causes a stuffy nose and impossibly loud snoring (sorry hun). A humidifier makes it so much easier to breath!
Clothes- I think I finally gave up on my regular jeans at 19 weeks. It got to the point that when I put them on Luke would say "Oh jeez, those jeans? I get to listen to how uncomfortable you are all day" - thanks babe. 90% (maybe more) of my maternity wardrobe was lent to me by my sisters. The new clothes I did buy pretty much all came from Old Navy. They fit fantastic, have affordable prices and are always getting new items. A few other favorite places are ASOS & HM. They both have really cute dresses for some of those special occasions like maternity photos and baby showers.
Tums- One word- heartburn. (Baby better come out with a beard)
Intimates- I felt more comfortable buying a bra in the second trimester than the first. I knew I would still get bigger but I was closer to that final size. Trying to fit into your pre-pregnancy bra size is a joke. Also the booty... bring on the granny panties - not really but forget sexy underwear. Full butt/ full coverage is just way more comfortable - your already knocked up - who are you trying to impress anyways?
Body Pillow- Your body is just different. I couldn't sleep in the positions I use to and be cozy. I literally consider stapling a pillow between my knees. Just get a body pillow - so much easier than 20 separate pillows falling off the bed and out of position all night long.
As always let me know if you would add anything. I know every pregnancy journey is different and for me these where my must haves to make life just a little bit more enjoyable.
