Shopping list during pregnancy

Shopping to do during the first trimester of pregnancy

Certain purchases can be useful for you from the first trimester of your pregnancy:

• To monitor your pregnancy, invest in a large file cabinet or folder to store all your administrative documents and medical results.
• When it comes to maternity clothes, many brands offer beautiful clothes for this time of year, to help you feel beautiful and well, despite the problems that occur in your body.
• Also invest in comfortable shoes. If you used to be a fan of high heels, now you'll need to spare your back and feet.

Shopping to do 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 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 they can occur quite frequently, although not all women report this. Please note that they are not always 100% effective. Prioritize quality and, above all, do not expect miracles, as you may be disappointed.
• Finally, to help you stay in shape and smiling, consider a large exercise ball. It’s perfect for sitting on when a chair is causing you pain. It can also help you prepare for childbirth, as part of classes designed for this purpose.

Shopping to do during the third trimester of pregnancy

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

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

Shopping to do for the baby's birth

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 woolen 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.
