Shopping List For Trimester 1
Pregnancy books
Books are a must-have for you, especially if it’s your first pregnancy. They help you to understand the changes that your body is going through. Our personal favourite is What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff
Maternity belly bands
These stretchy belts hold your pre-pregnancy pants and jeans up and are a stop-gap solution till you invest in maternity pants. You can buy them here.
Maternity pillow
As your belly starts to grow, you will start to feel a strain in your back. The maternity and nursing pillow has many uses, and you can buy it here.
Comfy bras
As you progress through your pregnancy, you will start to notice that your breasts begin to enlarge, and you might feel them getting itchy, too. Switching to soft cotton bras without itchy lace and trims will help you stay comfortable.
Maternity panties
As your baby's belly starts to grow, you will need comfortable maternity underwear. Morph Maternity’s range of maternity panties, while being comfy and growing with your belly, comes with a special hygiene patch at the crotch that prevents infections that might be caused by using public washrooms.
Shopping List For Trimester 2
Maternity pants
During the second trimester, you will find the need to invest in good-quality maternity pants that will take you through your pregnancy. Trendy maternity jeans and trousers with a stretchable belly panel keep you stylish and comfortable throughout pregnancy. You can buy them here.
Pregnancy tops
As the belly expands, it’s nice to flaunt your belly in trendy maternity tops that fit. Be it for work or a casual day out, Morph Maternity’s wide range of maternity tops will keep you in style.
Maternity nightwear
Troubled sleep is a possibility during this time. Frequent trips to the washroom and the belly weighing down might cause sleeplessness. Wearing comfortable nightgowns or PJs will help you sleep better.
Anti-Radiation belt
In today’s world, we use many radiation-emitting devices such as cell phones, laptops and microwaves. An Anti-EM belt will keep your baby safe from harmful radiation. You can buy it here.
Shopping List For Trimester 3
Nursing Tops & Kurtis
During the final trimester, your belly will grow further, and you will need maternity top-wear that accommodates it. It might be wise to invest in tops and kurtis that will flatter your baby's belly and double up as breastfeeding wear when the baby arrives.

This is a must-have for every pregnant mama. A simple stole that has multiple uses to keep you in style, cover your belly and also work as a nursing cover for when the baby arrives. You can buy it here.
Maternity dresses
Dresses naturally drape the baby bump in a flattering way. Be it dressing up for your baby shower or for a dinner out with your love, wearing a dress, be it a maxi or a midi, will add elegance to your pregnancy wardrobe.
Nursing bras
It’s best to invest in nursing bras at this stage, as you will be needing them very soon anyway. Morph Maternity has a range of bras that are leakproof and prevent breast milk from spilling through your clothes. You can buy them here.
Baby books
As you come toward the end of your pregnancy, it would be wise to read up about newborns and what to expect when it comes to baby care. Our favourite is What To Expect the First Year by Heidi Murkoff.
