1. Pregnancy Pillow

Send an Amazon gift card

As pregnancy progresses, that adorable bump makes some things more difficult. Shaving your legs, picking up dropped keys, and most frustrating of all, sleep.

When finding a comfortable position to get some much needed shut eye, a high-quality pregnancy pillow can mean the difference between tossing and turning or getting a good night’s rest.  They are specifically designed to support her growing belly, alleviate back pain, and provide extra comfort while she sleeps. And you don’t have to take our word for it – studies have shown that a pregnancy pillow significantly improved sleep later in pregnancy, particularly if mom wasn’t always a side sleeper and finds that’s now the most comfortable way to lie down.

Look for pillows that offer full-body support like the Pregnancy Pillow from Newton Baby or wedge-shaped pillows like the one from Beno Maternity that can be positioned just where she needs them most. She’ll be thanking you every time she curls up for some for a night of *actually* restful sleep.

Comfort is key when she’s pregnant, and maternity leggings or activewear are an absolute game-changer. These leggings are made with stretchy, breathable fabrics that accommodate her growing belly while providing support. Whether she’s lounging at home, heading to prenatal yoga, or running errands, these leggings will keep her comfy and stylish.

Choose a pair with a soft waistband that doesn’t dig into the skin, and look for options with moisture-wicking fabric to help her stay cool. Bonus points if you get her leggings in fun, vibrant colors or patterns to add a bit of flair to her pregnancy wardrobe!

You can even find maternity leggings at some of her favorite brands, like:

• SKIMS High-Waisted Maternity Leggings
• H&M MAMA Seamless Ribbed Maternity Leggings

3. Personalized Jewelry

Jewelry always makes a thoughtful gift, but personalized mothers jewelry adds that extra special touch. Consider a necklace, bracelet, or ring with her baby’s birthstone or name once they have one picked out, or even a Pandora charm that symbolizes motherhood. A piece like this will not only remind her of this special time but will also be something she can cherish forever, long after baby has arrived.

4. Pregnancy Skincare Kit

Grab a Sephora gift card

Sure, expecting moms can be absolutely glowing! But pregnancy and hormones can also wreak havoc on a woman’s skin, with everything from stretch marks to dry skin to hormonal acne. A pregnancy skincare kit is a thoughtful gift to help her pamper herself and keep her feeling gorgeous during every trimester (and even post-delivery!) 

Look for products that are safe for pregnant women, free from harsh chemicals or fragrances, and designed to nourish and hydrate the skin.

There are a variety of pregnancy skincare kits on the market, and many are even targeted to specific concerns. Y’OUR has a pregnancy-safe personalized skincare system for hormonal acne, and Herbivore’s MOMMY GLOW kit has everything she needs to prevent stretch marks and feel pampered from head to toe. Not to mention serums like Primally Pure Fancy Face Serum (Pregnancy), which is packed with the nutrients expectant and breastfeeding mommas’ skin is craving. 

Consider looking for things with items like these (or putting one together yourself if you’re more of a DIYer):

• Luxurious stretch mark cream
• Soothing belly butter
• Hydrating face masks
• Bath oils
• Body scrubs

With options like these, she’ll get the full self-care experience. After all, pregnancy is a time for relaxation and treating yourself, and she’ll definitely appreciate the extra TLC.

If you really want to go above and beyond, treat her to a spa day or a prenatal massage. Pregnancy can come with a lot of physical discomfort, including back pain, swelling, and sore muscles. Studies have shown that a professional prenatal massage will help alleviate those aches and promote relaxation.

Many spas like Hand & Stone offer specific packages for pregnant women, so you can find one that caters to her needs—whether it’s a full day of pampering or just a 60-minute massage to target those pregnancy-specific tension points. She’ll appreciate the opportunity to unwind and indulge in some much-needed relaxation with a nurturing prenatal massage that’s good for mom and baby.

6. Maternity Robe and Slippers

A comfy maternity robe and a cozy pair of slippers are perfect for those early mornings or late nights when she’s in need of some comfort. A robe designed specifically for maternity will be roomy and soft, with a wraparound design that accommodates her growing belly. Pair it with plush slippers like Bombas Sunday Slipper for a complete loungewear set that she’ll love slipping into after a long day.

Look for a robe made of a breathable material like cotton or bamboo, which will keep her cool and comfortable no matter the season. The added bonus? She can still wear it after the baby arrives, making this gift both practical and cozy.

7. Baby Name Book or Pregnancy Journal

Buy a Barnes & Noble gift card

For the mom-to-be who loves to document milestones, a pregnancy journal or baby name book is a great gift idea. After all, pregnancy is something most moms experience only a couple of times in their whole lives. A pregnancy journal allows her to capture the ups and downs of her journey—from the first ultrasound to her thoughts about becoming a mom. It’s a keepsake she’ll treasure for years to come, and so will her baby as they grow up.

A baby name book on the other hand gives her inspiration as she makes one of the biggest decisions during pregnancy—choosing the perfect name for her little one. The possibilities are endless, and the gift of inspiration can make that process a little more fun and less overwhelming!
