Getting pregnant is a little like stepping into the wilderness with your backpack full of all the things people have told you about this phase of life. It becomes your toolbox, and as you walk you drop bread crumbs for those behind you. Here's my sack of bread crumbs:
8 Sheep Organics Sleepy Body Lotion $29-$50
This magnesium body lotion is a lifesaver when it comes to leg cramps (hello, extra weight!), back pain, and hip pain. It's made with only organic ingredients and it's safe to use during pregnancy. I recommend buying two 8 ounce bottles to last you all nine months.
Boobie Body Superfood Shake $44
There's nothing like an extra boost of nutrients, especially in the second and third trimesters. This shake (get the Vanilla Cookie flavor!) is a delicious addition to my prenatal care and postpartum journey. It can substitute as a complete meal when you lose track of time or it can fill a gap in nutrients like it did for me! Plus it's available for local purchase here in Missoula through the Nursing Nook.
Kindred Bravely Everyday Lounge Joggers $28
Comfortable pants are an absolute necessity when it comes to navigating a new body on a daily basis. Some days nothing will fit, but these sweats will. Order a size up from your normal size and buy two pairs (one to wear while you wash the other!).
