Finding gifts for pregnant women can be tricky, especially if you want to get her something really meaningful and thoughtful. Pregnancy is hard, and for many women it presents difficult challenges to navigate. I’ve taken it upon myself to give you a list of where to find the best gifts for pregnant women in your life.
Do you know a pregnant woman who is sore and achy all the time and she can’t reach the achy spots to massage them? I’ve got a gift for that! Is your pregnant friend on bedrest or modified bedrest and running out of shows or movies to watch? I’ve got a solution!
My list is carefully curated based on my own experience with pregnancy and all the things I wish I had during my pregnancy.
So, read on and find out where to find the best gifts for pregnant women! You won’t be disappointed.
When I was pregnant, my feet were so sore and SO swollen, I couldn’t fit into any of my regular shoes. One of my best friends got me these shoes, (and in this purple color!) and I still wear them to this day, 18 months after giving birth!
These shoes are by far one of the best gifts anyone has ever gotten me and were extremely thoughtful. They are good and stretchy (check out the mesh!) so they’re great for swollen pregnant feet. These shoes are intended as walking shoes, so they’re perfect for any mamas-to-be who love to walk. However, they are excellent shoes for any woman who needs extra foot support, even if she doesn’t do too much walking.
A lot of pregnant women deal with the unexpected (and sometimes expected) bedrest orders from their pregnancy provider. I was one of those! I had a lot of complications early in my pregnancy and then again late in my pregnancy, both of which required modified bedrest. Now, while I wasn’t on strict bedrest, I wasn’t allowed to go and do fun exciting things, so I had to find a lot of shows and movies to binge watch!
At the time, I had a Netflix subscription, which was awesome, but there are a lot of shows I wanted to watch but were only available on Hulu, which I did not have a subscription to at the time. Hulu has so many fun shows, including current and old shows! A great gift to get someone who can’t go out and do exciting and fun things, is a Hulu subscription so she can sit back, queue up the shows (or movies!) and relax.
As a massage therapist specializing in prenatal massage for the past 12 years, one of the most common complaints from pregnant. women that I’ve heard over the years is that she is so sore and achy and her partner can’t give her enough pressure in the areas she needs massaged the most.
I’ve had this exact omni roller since I was in massage therapy school is 2001, and I still use it regularly. It is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, and I highly recommend gifting one to a mom-to-be in your life!
You hold the bottom white part and then the top, green part rolls around on your muscles, loosening up tension and tightness, so you don’t have to use your fingers! It’s an excellent massage tool.
Speaking of specializing in prenatal massage, I am also a licensed esthetician, and I’ve specialized in pre & postnatal skincare for the majority of my 17 year skincare career. Skin Script is a company that I’ve used in my skincare studio for the past 5 years and it is amazing. They specialize in melasma, which is a skin condition that causes dark, patchy spots on the face. Melasma is common, and often occurs in pregnancy.
Melasma is often treated with chemical peels like glycolic or lactic acid. Pregnancy makes your skin much more sensitive, and chemical peels can cause damage and sensitivity when used during pregnancy. So, we recommend against these treatments during pregnancy.
Skin Script makes this amazing Raspberry Refining Scrub that is 100% safe for pregnant (and lactating!) women. With antioxidants from Raspberry & Marionberry, it brightens skin discolorations and soothes irritations, making it perfect for pregnant women with melasma.
Pregnancy can be extremely stressful and cause a lot of women to feel out of sorts. That’s where The Hormonal Mama Planner for Moms-to-Be steps in. I don’t mean to boast, but I’m so proud of this planner!
This planner is great for organized mamas-to-be who may be feeling like their organizational skill are on an endless vacation. I designed this planner because I needed some guidance in my pregnancy and something to just help with the chaotic nature of pregnancy. I’ve included pregnancy journal pages, blank monthly calendars, checklists for everything from baby registry to hospital bag, blank meal plans, and more.
The Moms-To-Be-Planner is a great gift for any mama-to-be who wants to feel a little less out of control, and still enjoy her pregnancy.
