Certain purchases may be useful to you from the first trimester of your pregnancy:

• To monitor your pregnancy, invest in a filing cabinet or large folder to store all administrative documents and medical results.
• Regarding clothes for pregnant women, many brands offer beautiful clothes for this moment, to help you feel beautiful and good, despite the problems that occur in your body.

Purchases to be made during the second trimester of pregnancy

During the second trimester of your pregnancy, it is important to invest in:

• One or more books about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and welcoming a baby, depending on the type of birth and parenting you want to experience.
• Get a good moisturizer, ideally without chemical ingredients
• It may also be useful to buy a cream for stretch marks as these can occur quite frequently, although not all women report this. Note that they are not always 100% effective. Give priority to quality and, above all, don't expect miracles, you may be disappointed.
• Finally, to help you keep your shape and smile, consider a large exercise ball. It's perfect for sitting when a chair is causing you pain. It can also help you prepare for childbirth, as part of courses created for this purpose.

Purchases to be made during the third trimester of pregnancy

In the third trimester of pregnancy, it is essential to prepare intensively for birth:

• A perineum massage oil can help you prepare your muscles for your baby's arrival (unless you plan to give birth by cesarean section).
• Also consider the nursing pillow if you want to breastfeed and it's your first baby. At the end of your pregnancy, you can also use it to feel better in various positions, for example placing it between your legs to sleep better.

Purchases to be made for the birth of the baby

For birth you will need at least:

• A dozen onesies in three sizes, birth, 1 month and 3 months (note, however, that some babies never wear their birth size) and ten pajamas in sizes 1 and 3 months;
• Minimum 3 sleeping bags;
• Ten wool coats and socks, even if the baby is born in summer, because newborns get cold quickly;
• A baby nest or sleeping bag suitable for use in the car.
