Tums, I seriously cried when someone gave me Tums. It was so beautiful because I had the worst heartburn.

Doughnuts! Bacon sandwich! Ginger for heartburn like ginger drinks and ginger biscuits! And granny pants 😄

Ohh and a plastic bag for being sick in 😄I had really bad pregnancy sickness I would be sick like 5+ times a day

A gift card to buy maternity clothes

A massage gift card would of been amazing while I was pregnant. Or you could surprise her with a lunch date to the mall and then buy her some kind of maternity clothes that she feels great in.

Freezer meals to heat up once the baby is born. I had a friend do this and it was a life saver!! I didn’t have to think about dinner for a month!

U-shaped pregnancy pillow. It’s is the biggest life saver and I could not live without mine, probably ever again!

When she does get to be super pregnant, treat her to a blow out...I have waist long hair and it was the biggest pain to wash and blow dry after 30wks, my arms just got too tired...one of my gfs took me to get my hair blown out, then a pedicure and lunch, such a great gift when ur very pregnant!

I second the massage gc idea. I would've killed for one when I was pg. Hell, I'd kill for one anytime! Haha Any kind of spa/mani/pedi/salon pampery goodness would be awesome though.
I had a pregnancy pillow that was nice, but I can't say I HAD TO HAVE IT. Otherwise I didn't have any musts for this pregnancy. 🤷🏻♀️

My pregnancy/body pillow!! Sleeping was always uncomfortable until i got one, but when i finally did it changed my life!! I named her Evelyn and i still sleep with her over a year later❤️!!

So I’m going to be THAT person! If you’re close friends, a vibrator with a long handle (wand). I personally dealt with excessive dryness which made even wearing underwear uncomfortable and I’m allergic to most lubricants. Also, it worked wonders for the pain that I experienced in my down stairs with everything prepping itself. If it’s not a close friend, then I’d say a gift card for maternity clothes or even a gift basket for the baby. My sister in law gave us a baby hamper filled with toys(birth-1year interactive and educational), blankets, onesies, books, bibs, burp clothes and then topped with a box of diapers and an envelope filled with cash. A bit excessive but can be a great thought at a “normal” level.

unisom! i could not get through the night without it.

I definitely reccomend a spa type thing. Everyone offers pregnancy related stuff. I got myself a nice pedicure at the end of my pregnancy and it was seriously the best ever. My feet were so swollen and it just helped me relax and have some me time as a woman, not as a mom-to-be, which no matter how excited you are to be a mom, that's still super important.

Maid service gift card!

Maternity clothes
Pregnancy pillow
Belly oil (I loved berts bees)
Yoga ball

The pregnancy pillow. I loved that thing and it helped me sleep

If you can afford it, an "in home" pedicure or massage. I didnt want to leave the house once I got past 8 months pregnant. Also, I bought a pregnancy/body pillow and it did nothing for me, I could never get comfortable using it, and it's not cheap!

I didn't end up liking any actual pregnancy clothes. I bought some pregnancy jeans & undies, but I found them uncomfortable. I ended up getting a bunch of maxi dresses & super stretchy non-pregnancy undies instead.
Btw, I totally recommend these undies for pregnancy (& all other times too if you can afford them). They stretch with your changing body & are the most comfy things ever. http://getcomfy.in/jCpjU

The Boppy lounger, it's perfect for bottle feeding (if that's in your plans) and taking naps. Way cheaper then dock a tot. Changing pad clutch for when you are just running quick errands. Two changing pads if you have multiple floors. Bibs so they don't ruin those cute outfits! Diaper back and Mommy clip.

Pregnancy massage! I got one at 8 months and I was in heaven!! It was the best hour of my entire pregnancy! I had the pillow and loved it but my dogs fought for it and won 😭😂

I liked there tops
And jackets

What is that underwear!?! It’s so cute

Maternity tank
DigestZen
Foot spa or bucket to soak feet

Tums! Hahaha 😅

1st Trimester - ginger syrup and carbonated water
2nd Trimester - the Baby2Body app to help keep you motivated to move your body each day with safe exercises until the end and also postpartum.
3rd Trimester - I put an extra mattress protector under my side of the bed. Just in case my water broke in the middle of the night 😅 And a tens machine for those aching back muscles!

To ask her if she needs help and make her take a shower, eat and have some sleep if you can help with the baby while she does that. It might not be what you want to hear because I can't recommend some product but trust me, once her baby is here and she is sleep deprived and hungry she will not care for any gadget or product. You can purchase something, sure! But don't forget about her basic needs because she might need help. Also don't buy a Boppy because many are being already recalled. Good luck!
