A good pair of leggings is a pregnant person’s uniform, and these $23 ones are perfect for the everyday active mom. The flexible panel can be worn over or under the belly, so they’re great for all three trimesters.

They’re a comfortable staple she’ll probably wear every single day.

 

 

Nu Momz Maternity Belly Band

This $23 belly band is a great, affordable option for the mom who needs a little extra support as her bump grows. It helps lift the belly to relieve back and hip pain, which can be a huge issue later in pregnancy.

It’s a simple, discreet tool that makes a big difference in her daily comfort.

 

 

Angelhood Foldable Maternity Underwear

For $18, this is a super practical gift for the mom who’s prepping her hospital bag. These are disposable, high-absorbency underwear that are way more comfortable than the mesh ones the hospital provides.

She will be so, so grateful to have these packed and ready for postpartum life.

 

 

Gifts for Pampering, Sleep & Support

NanoSteamer Facial Steamer

This $34 facial steamer is for the friend who loves a good spa day but can’t exactly get out for one right now. It brings the professional facial experience home, helping her feel pampered and refreshed.

It’s a great way to unwind and deal with that fun pregnancy acne that sometimes shows up.

 

 

Rifle Paper Co. Insulated Canteen

The floral patterns are gorgeous, and it keeps water ice-cold all day long.

 

 

Gravity Weighted Sleep Mask

This $40 weighted sleep mask is a lifesaver for the pregnant person who just can’t get comfortable. Sleep gets really tough during pregnancy, and this mask provides gentle, calming pressure while blocking out all light.

It can seriously help her drift off and stay asleep when her mind is racing.

AZMED Maternity Belly Band

Splurge-Worthy Gifts She’ll Treasure

ChillMom C+U Pregnancy Pillow

This $60 pillow is for the sleeper who tosses and turns all night. Unlike some body pillows that shift around, this one is designed to stay put, offering 360-degree support no matter how she moves.

It’s big enough to be effective but won’t kick her partner completely out of bed.

 

 

Eli & Elm Memory Foam Body Pillow

For the mom who needs firm, contouring support, this $70 memory foam pillow is the one. It’s filled with shredded memory foam that perfectly aligns her body to relieve aches and pains.

She can even add or remove the fill to get the height and firmness just right for her.

 

 

Lake Pima Maternity Pajamas

Okay, at $128, these are a splurge, but they’re for the mom who deserves some serious luxury. These Pima cotton pajamas are ridiculously soft and stylish, so she’ll feel put-together even when she’s exhausted.

They’re also nursing-friendly with simple snaps, so she’ll live in them long after the baby arrives. This is the gift that made my best friend cry happy tears.

 

 

Lululemon Parent Backpack 17L

For the organized, stylish mom-to-be, this $198 backpack from Lululemon is everything. It looks like a chic, minimalist bag but functions as a perfectly organized diaper bag.

It has all the pockets she’ll ever need and even includes straps to attach it to a stroller. It’s the perfect hospital bag that she’ll use for years.

 

 

Gorjana Mama Necklace

This beautiful $80 ‘Mama’ necklace is for the sentimental mom who loves delicate jewelry. It’s a sweet, simple way to celebrate her new and most important identity.

The gold vermeil is high quality, and it’s perfect for layering with her other favorite pieces. It’s a classic she’ll never want to take off.

 

 

How to Find the Perfect Pregnancy Gift

The best gifts for expecting moms usually focus on one of three things: comfort, pampering, or making her life easier. Think about what she complains about the most. Is it her aching back? Her lack of sleep? Start there, and you can’t go wrong.

Don’t forget about the fourth trimester! Gifts that will be useful after the baby arrives—like a great water bottle for nursing, comfy PJs, or a subscription box—are always a huge hit. She’ll be so busy with the newborn that she’ll be extra grateful for anything that supports her recovery and well-being.

Ultimately, you know your friend best. Whether it’s a small $12 gift that solves her nausea or a big splurge on a pillow that finally lets her sleep, just showing her you’re thinking of *her* during this crazy time is what really matters.
