I’m half way through this pregnancy and man.. lol I’m definitely feeling it. I know there are other soon-to-be mamas out there so I’m sharing my current preggie favs!
The constant hip-popping, back pain, and just feeling overall like a whale definitely isn’t a fun time. So I’ve found some new things (and things from my first pregnancy) that have helped me feel as comfortable as possible right now! I hope this also helps any fellow preggies out there!

• Belly Bandit Upsie Belly – This thing helped me sooooo much when I was pregnant with Valentina. Obviously I saved it for my future pregnancies and I’m so glad I did! The Upsie Belly really helps if you are feeling any back pain because it supports your belly weight and relieving your back. The other amazing thing about it is it has a little pouch in the back that holds a ice pack/heating pad (which it comes with!) I’d always heat it up and place in the pouch to really soothe my aching back.
• Isabel Maternity Top – I got these little basic tops in black and white! They’re super affordable and sooooo soft! I’m a basic tee girl right now and love just chucking on a tee and some jeans. I’ll dress it up with a jacket or something and be on my way.
• Bio Oil Skincare Oil – So I really wanted to get the HATCH Maternity Belly Oil but ughhh the price was a major turn off. Really I wanted it for the packaging lol. I’m a sucker for a good aesthetic. I couldn’t justify the price so I looked for something else. I found this little gem and absolutely LOVE it! It smells nice and lasts forever! I actually found a little bottle to put it in so it feels more like the HATCH Belly Oil lol. So I’m happy!
• Native Deodorant – Ok this isn’t just a pregnancy favorite because I plan to use this afterwards. But I’ve looked into deodorants that are more clean and aluminum free and stumbled onto this! I did try a few different ones that didn’t work and pretty much gave up. I do NOT want to be smelly at any point throughout my day. Thank the lordt for this one! They have so many scents and they actually do work! Keeps you smelling good and has none of those nasty ingredients which are yucky for you anyways.
• Maternity Jean Shorts – I’m a huge jeans girl and since Summer is almost a constant here in Florida I wanted to find some cute little shorts for me. Everywhere I looked the ones I would see just didn’t have the band I wanted or weren’t the style I was going for. Until (drum roll please) I FINALLY found a great pair of maternity denim shorties that were also…. AFFORDABLE! They have a full over the bump band or a below the belly band option. So many different color options too! You can thank me later!
• BLANQI Maternity Support Leggings – Honestly, if you’ve been pregnant before you know leggings are a must. These are so comfy and just hug your belly so nicely. They’re a bit pricey but I think they are definitely worth it!
• Bodycon Dresses (Missguided| BooHoo) – Bodycon dresses are really flattering during pregnancy. They hug all your curves and you’re ever growing bump! Even when you feel like a whale a little body con dress can help you feel more like your pre-baby self! Easy to throw on and get out the door!
• Pregnancy Pillow – Ahhhh my little miracle. I didn’t get one last time because they were more than I wanted to spend. BUT I feel like the hip pain started a little early this time around and I was NOT about it lol. Before I just placed a pillow in between my legs to help keep them aligned at night. It helped a bit but I would find the pillow didn’t stay there lol. I splurged a bit and got a body pillow this time and I LOVE IT! It’s big and takes up half the bed but who cares. It helps with lifting your belly up a bit and keeping your legs aligned throughout the night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
