By Belinda Gosbee | Updated: March 20, 2023

    Let’s face it, baby showers and registries are all about gifting the newest little family member. But carrying around a “belly full of baby” for all those months ain’t easy. So, it’s the perfect time to pamper mom-to-be with these thoughtful gifts for pregnant women. Trust this mom– it won’t go unnoticed!

  1. Mama Bear Slippers 
  2. gifts-for-pregnant-women-slippers

    Dearfoam slippers are bestsellers and renowned for their cozy, comfy memory foam and “cloud-like” feeling. This pair is perfect for pregnant women as they slide on and off without needing to bend down and pull them on. (You can also get matching pairs for the whole family.)

  3. Magnesium Body Cream

    Did you know that 78% of women have insomnia during pregnancy? So, it’s often not helpful to tell an expectant mother to “sleep while you still can.” Magnesium can help relax muscles, and this cream targets insomnia, restless legs, leg cramps, and hip/lower back pain. The reviews say it all.

  5. Maternity & Nursing PJs

    These PJs are comfy and stylish (in an array of colors) and will help her out with both her prenatal bump and a breastfeeding babe. An elastic waistband with extenders allows for changing shapes, and a secret nursing panel means she can stay warm while she feeds. 

  7. Sparkling Gummies

    There is a way to down wine when you’re pregnant. Give her the gift of happy hour with gummies that will make her taste buds feel as though they’re indulging. These come in a super cute gift box.

  9. Retro Mama Tee

    A pregnant mom needs soft, comfy clothes as her delivery day draws near. These retro t-shirts are made from the highest quality cotton (airlume) and announce to the world just how proud she is to be a mama.

  11. Dead Sea Salts

    Fragranced, colorful bath salts aren’t ideal for pregnant women who need to avoid a ton of ingredients. They may not look fancy, but these mineral-rich dead sea salts are the greatest (I was buying them in 19lb bags!) Keep it simple and pop a pretty bow on top. 

  13. Ballet Flats

    Switching to flatter shoes doesn’t mean a mom-to-be needs to relinquish her style. Grab her a practical gift like this pair of leopard-print flats, which, sans shoelaces, are super easy to slip on. And, thanks to breathable mesh and a flexible sole, also super comfy.

  15. Bump Box

  21. Non-Alcoholic Tequila

    Buy your pregnant best friend a Margarita sans alcohol. Thankfully, mocktails have come a long way over the years (except for wine which is still REALLY bad.) This “can’t get you drunk” tequila has notes of oak, vanilla, and agave.
