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 favorite is “What To Expect When You Are Expecting” by Heidi Murkoff.
Maternity belly bands
These stretchy belts basically 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 grows, you will start to feel a strain in your back. The maternity & nursing pillow has many uses and you can buy them 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. So moving 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, come with a special hygiene patch at the crotch that prevents infections that might be caused by using public washrooms.
