Second Trimester Must Haves
I can’t believe I’m sitting down today sharing my second trimester must haves, it seems like a minute ago I was finishing up my first trimester! Now that I’m almost through my second trimester with a baby girl, I wanted to share with you the best products that I have used over the last three months. They are things that I used everyday during my second trimester, and I know you will too!
Pregnancy Pillow - The best investment I made during my second trimester was ordering this pregnancy pillow. I had my doubts and went back and forth on ordering it, wondering if it was really worth all of the hype. It wasn’t until I started having several nights of bad sleep that I figured it would be worth it to at least try. I’m so glad I did - I have never slept so great in my life! Pregnancy pillows are great for offering support to back, hips, legs, belly, while encouraging you to sleep on your side.
Humidifier - With the second trimester comes sinus problems, so I picked up this humidifier to also help sleep better at night. It prevents nose and throat dryness while helping to clear sinuses!
Stretch Mark Cream - It’s so important to use a stretch mark cream during pregnancy, especially during your second and third trimester as your body is changing to make room for baby. This is the cream I use.
Probiotics - Digestive issues are very normal during pregnancy thanks to changes of hormones, diet changes, and increased iron intake. Taking a daily probiotic can help your digestion especially during the second trimester!
Stainless Steel Tumblers - It’s important to stay hydrated throughout your pregnancy, especially if you are pregnant in the summer! I use these tumblers and metal straws everyday to keep my water cold and remind me to continue staying hydrated.
Maternity Belt - Something else to consider picking up this trimester is a maternity belt! This belt provides gentle compression, reduces pregnancy pains, and relieves lower back pain. It’s also lightweight and breathable!
Maternity Jeans - Depending on your pregnancy, you may need to start wearing maternity clothes in your second trimester. These maternity skinny jeans are so cute and comfortable, I can’t wait to wear them this fall!
Bras - I’ve never really loved traditional nursing bras, because I find the clasps annoying. I recently picked up these maternity bras that are soft and will allow for easy breastfeeding and gentle support throughout my pregnancy and postpartum!
Underwear - I just ordered these underwear and wish I would have weeks ago!
