Maternity Stuff
Pea in the Pod (online and or One pacific Place) Great cute clothes, good jeans and dress clothes, a little pricey, but all of their clothes really help you to feel good about the way you look
Target (sometimes they have good stuff, other times, nada)
Victoria’s Secret boyfriend sweats, they are loose, low and sooo comfy
A good zip up hoodie, I have a black Juicy Maternity Hoodie (Nordstrom.com) and I wore it all of the time
Fitted work out tops- I hated wearing my husbands T-Shirts to work out they just made me feel Huge. fitmaternity.com does a great job providing fitted work out attire, without being tight. Pea in the pod carry some nice ones too.
A good pair of maternity jeans, I have Sevens with the low band, they are great until you start getting really big and then you need the full belly coverage, so they don't dig in. Nordstrom and Pea in the Pod have several great options
What to expect when You’re Expecting - This is a great staple to answer your basic questions throughout your pregnancy.
Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven (great book about different foods and how they could affect the baby and you, ASPARTAME is really bad, give up diet stuff, but beware this book can make you a little overly conscious of what you are eating, just use good judgment)
Prenatal Yoga – I love the Shiva Rae DVD and every prenatal yoga class I've taken : Yoga is great both physically and mentally, especially during pregnancy!!!
Baby Center. Com (join your birth month group)
Bella Band in black and white – get the Brand name bella band, the Target one’s stretch out
Chamomile Tea – Helps me sleep
Bradley Birthing Classes – they really helped both Mike and I feel prepared for anything that would happen in the delivery, 2 hours once a week for 12 weeks( Barb Hake in Omaha), it is a class that focuses on natural child birth, but even if you are planning on an epidural I would still take these classes, because they help prepare you for anything that could happen (ie, epidural doesn't take, labor comes too fast, you have to have a C Section...)
The Business of Being Born, this is just a very informative movie about the birth process in America
Prenatal massage- ONLY go places with a maternity table, the side massages just aren't worth it, but defiantly get regular massages especially in the the 3rd trimester ( if you haven't gotten regular massages in the past is best to wait until your second trimester to start getting massages)
Chiropractic Care- It will help the headaches, back aches, neck pains, even abdominal and rib pains. Many Dr.'s even recommend it to help turn a breech baby.
