It's late, I can't sleep Cus I'm 38 weeks pregnant and uncomfortable. So as I'm laying here with my maternity pillow, I'm struggling to think of anything more amazing than this pillow when you're heavily pregnant.
So I got thinking..if someone was newly pregnant and asked what your 'life saver item' was throughout your pregnancy, what would it be??

A maternity jacket from bonprix, I think it was £50ish, it has zips down both sides to expand, a panel to put in for baby wearing after. It’s the most waterproof jacket I’ve ever owned. It is flattering, useful and comfy.

@K1999 I am 32 weeks preganant at the moment. My life saver has lately been these really comfy maternity PJ's. They are super comfortable and I love them so so much! Do you mind if I ask when your due date is?

A sling. 3 week old baby and he snoozes like a dream in it versus when he is too upset for crib

Mumwith4kidzz · 30/04/2020 04:46

my due date is june 15th 2020 (also my 29th birthday)

Omeprazole.

I had a large beanbag, couldn't sleep comfortably (twins). With my beanbag and cosy blanket I could position myself lying on my front and managed at least some sleep. Also recommended ranitidine for the heartburn

When pregnant, my really comfy maternity leggings and once baby arrived, my travel mug that keeps tea hot for hours on end.

Definitely rennies and also the deflatine rennies for trapped wind. Also big knickers Grin.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 30/04/2020 16:55

Giant muslins, and sleepsuits that zip up. GAMECHANGER.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 30/04/2020 16:56

Baby sleepsuits, I mean Grin. It's amazing not to have to faff about matching up poppers at 3am

ThinkPink71 · 30/04/2020 17:04

RENNIES !!

BB HugMe pregnancy pillow. Worth every single penny, I recommend it to everyone I know who tells me they are having a baby.
