Good fitting maternity jeans (or shorts if you'll be pregnant during the summer like I am this time around): When I was pregnant with Dunken I felt like I tried on a ton of maternity jeans that fit terrible. Most were way too big in the crotch area, had thighs that were too wide, or gave me an even flatter butt than I already have. I found my favorite pair at H&M, and I have a pair of denim shorts from there for this pregnancy that I practically live in. If you're not familiar with H&M sizing, or if you're ordering online I recommend sizing up! My jeans from H&M are 2 sizes larger than I wear at most stores, and I have a pair of maternity jeggings from H&M that are 3 sizes larger.
Belly butter: I'll admit, I've been pretty terrible at putting this on this pregnancy, but when I do use it I definitely feel a difference in how my tummy skin feels. I tried several brands with Dunken and my favorite, and the only one I repurchased for this pregnancy, is Burt's Bees belly butter. It doesn't have a strong smell and it's not at all greasy. I love it.
Humidifier: When I'm pregnant I seem to have a runny or stuffy nose constantly. I can't remember quite when it starts, but once it does it seems to stick around forever. A humidifier in my bedroom seems to help a little with my stuffy nose. I have this one from Amazon, it's a great price and not too ugly either.
A go to dress or top: I have this dress from Target and I wear it constantly. My closet is full of stripes, and since there's no chance of hiding this belly, why not accentuate it with horizonal stripes ;) This dress is super comfortable, and nice enough to wear to church, or dress down with sandals for every day wear.
Lip balm and lotion: My skin does weird things when I'm pregnant. It seems to be extra dry everywhere. To help I try to always have lip balm with me and put lotion on every day. I love eos sweet mint lip balm and I swear by Aveeno's daily moisturizing lotion.
