Gifts for pregnant women: how to choose the best gift
Have you just found out that you are pregnant or that your friend/relative is? Are you undecided about what to get yourself or which gifts to buy for her? Take note of these original and useful gift ideas for pregnant women!
Birthdays or name days, anniversaries or anniversaries, Valentine’s Day or Christmas, a baby shower or any other day of the year are a special occasion to give a gift and make a pregnant mother happy.
Buying gifts for a pregnant woman , however, is not always the easiest thing to do. Usually the aim is to give an object for the unborn child, forgetting however that the real protagonist, at least for 9 months, is her mother and that perhaps a gift designed just for her can really please.
For this reason, I decided to only suggest gifts for mothers in this post that are not directly related to the baby.
Gifts for pregnant women
The following is a list of gift ideas for pregnant moms that can inspire you. However, remember every gift should always be thought of in relation to the person who will receive the gift.
Books about pregnancy
Books are always useful and beautiful gifts but for pregnant mothers they are even more so. In fact, during the 9 months of waiting time seems to pass slowly and the mothers feel a strong desire to read and find out about their condition and that of the child they are carrying. A good book that talks about pregnancy or child development could therefore be a great gift as well as a valuable guide for both parents.
Pregnancy diary
The pregnancy diary is certainly a gift much appreciated by mothers with a baby bump. In fact, the pregnancy diary can record the physical and mood changes and also the important events that revolve around this period of life. It will be a pleasant memory to re-read even when the baby is born.
Pregnancy pillow
The pregnancy pillow is a special pillow which, acting as a support for some parts of the body, allows the pregnant woman to rest and sleep comfortably and to alleviate some of the typical pains of this state (back pain, swollen legs, belly that Weighs). Receiving a pregnancy pillow as a gift is a nice surprise . Anyone who has tried it knows how useful and comfortable it is and why it is important to use it.
There are so many types of pregnancy pillows on the market that differ by brand and model. The best known are the Boppy cushions, Snoogle by Leacho, the Dreamgenii by Nuvita, the spelled chaff Merrymama, but there are also many other very valid ones.
If you plan to give (or be given) a pregnancy pillow, I recommend these readings where you will find many useful suggestions and many models to choose from:
Skin and body care products
During pregnancy, the body and skin undergo many changes because they are subject to strong stresses and it is very important to take care of them and do it correctly. For this reason, one of the most appreciated gifts for pregnant women are beauty and body and skin care products.
Organic and natural products are highly appreciated, creams to moisturize or reduce inflammation of the skin, antioxidant creams and stimulate cell and collagen production, products to prevent stretch marks.
Relaxing massages
During pregnancy there are many changes that influence the physical state of the woman and relaxation and massages are panaceas for the well-being of the expectant mother and to face this phase in the most serene way.
Giving a massage or a relaxation treatment is an idea that the expectant mother will surely appreciate. Before giving this gift, however, it is good to make sure that it is done in a specialized center where they are used to treating pregnant women. You will certainly have no problem finding health clubs, spas, spas or private professionals in your area that are right for you. They will be able to indicate which types of massage are the most suitable, although usually the foot and leg massage and the head massage are the most popular.
Costumes, underwear and trendy lingerie
Being pregnant does not mean that a woman can no longer dress fashionably or wear feminine and sensual underwear. Indeed the belly should not be seen as an impediment but as a fun creative challenge to dress comfortable and fashionable.
For this reason, the underwear for pregnant women that is on the market has nothing to envy to the “normal” one. You can really find so many models, styles and designs to please all future mothers.
If you want to make a gift of this type, you can give underwear sets, bras, bands and girdles for pregnancy , pajamas or even a nice maternity swimsuit that can be used not only in summer but also for maternity courses in the water.
These are the readings that can help you in your choice:

- nursing bras

Pregnancy photo shoot
Pregnancy is a beautiful phase but all in all quite short, however long it may seem. No doubt she deserves to be immortalized not only with home shots , but also with professional photos that will always remember that special moment.
Therefore, if the expectant mother likes photographs , my advice is to think about giving her an artistic photo shoot with a professional specialized in pregnancy photos . The result will be wonderful images to look at and show off, in which she and her partner will be the protagonists!
Searching the web with the keyword pregnancy photographer and entering your area, you will have no difficulty in finding specialized photographers to contact.
Cute pregnancy T-shirts
Showing off your baby bump is nice and if you do it with irony and without taking yourself too seriously it’s even better. For this reason, there is nothing cuter than wearing a personalized and fun pregnancy t-shirt. Expecting moms love it!
