Pregnancy can be a beautiful time. It can also be a world of “no.” No alcohol, no cold cuts, no Botox, “no” to half of the products in your cabinet, even the non-toxic ones! Mothers-to-be are suddenly catapulted into a world where their body is not only their own, and every decision could affect their unborn baby. Talk about pressure.
For me personally, a positive pregnancy test transformed me into a Google addict, turning to the internet before popping almost anything into my mouth or onto my skin. Even some of the best superfoods became taboo, and who knew non-alcoholic bevies could be bad too?? Thankfully, in the process of testing, searching and asking around, I discovered loads of gorgeous goodies that make it possible to maintain that “pregnancy glow” and even enjoy a glass of “wine” without worrying that I might harm the baby.
In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m sharing some of my favorites here to save other mommies-to-be from hours of internet searches. And for those wondering how to spoil their pregnant or new-mom friends this year? From health and beauty to booze, any of these gifts will deliver the pampering she deserves!
