1st Trimester Must Haves

Must Haves

Prenatal Vitamin | As soon as you find out you are pregnant, it’s important to start taking a prenatal vitamin. Baby does so much growth in the first trimester and having a vitamin with DHA like Zahler is exactly what you and baby need. I love Zahler because it has the prenatal and DHA vitamin combined, and it’s really affordable! It’s even cheaper if you grab the 90 day supply HERE! Also, you can do a subscription on Amazon so you never forget to buy them!

Comfortable Bras | Get ready for your boobs to make some rapid changes all through your pregnancy! Your nipples will get sore and darker, and your boobs will be sore and grow. I made the mistake my first pregnancy of buying new bras each time my boobs changed, so now I have bras in every single size. Instead, grab these ultra-comfy stretchy bras that are easy to wear on your sore nipples and boobs and grow with your growing bust.

Pregnancy Flakes | These pregnancy flakes are an amazing go-to all pregnancy long. They help soothe nausea, leg cramps and give you a more restful sleep. Just make sure that your bath is not too hot!!

Mommee Coffee | You are going to be more tired than you can ever imagine during your first trimester. This was how I knew right away I was pregnant both times. I fell asleep in the shower! Watch your caffeine intake while still getting a little boost with this yummy coffee formulate especially for pregnant mamas.

Dear Baby Journal | Document your pregnancy so you have the memories to look back on. This baby journal is easy to fill out and creates a sweet memory of your pregnancy with entries like your cravings, doctor’s appointments and how you found out your were pregnant!

Bra Extender | Get the most use out of your current bras by simply buying these extenders!

Water Bottle | Staying hydrated is SO important! Your body is working overtime and it’s also needing extra hydration to create the amniotic fluid your baby will be swimming in for the next 9 months. This water bottle is a cute reminder to get your daily intake!

Mama Natural week-by-week Pregnancy Book | This book is my favorite for a week-by-week break down of what is going on with you and baby. Each week also has a section of information related to childbirth, pregnancy symptoms and recipes! This is definitely one of my favorite 1st trimester must haves!

Tummy Drops | The next few items are perfect for morning sickness and loss of appetite. Ginger is an amazing natural soother for an upset stomach and nausea. That’s why our parents always gave us ginger ale! These tummy drops are great to easy nausea and you can pack them in your purse for on the go!

Ginger Tea | Grab your ginger and nausea soother through this yummy ginger tea.

Morning Sickness Tea | I love this tea because it’s SO good. It has a ginger and peach flavor and is even good iced!

Belly Butter | Your belly will start to show and grow toward the end of your first trimester. Get into the habit of applying a belly butter or stretch mark cream to nourish your skin and growing bump!

Snacks | Although you might have no appetite and be feeling so sick, try to eat a little bit. Baby doesn’t need extra calories and isn’t taking too much from your nutrition supply yet, so don’t worry about what you’re eating (obviously not drinking or smoking!!). Stick to easy foods like saltines, toast, noodles or whatever else you can manage.
