Kranz Co. Life in Bloom

I really struggled my 1st pregnancy with knowing what was worth buying and what wasn’t worth buying. I was gifted a lot of used maternity clothes which I was so grateful for, but there are some things I wish I would have bought sooner for myself.

Everyone thinks about a baby shower and/or things for the baby, but those 9 months of pregnancy. Now that I am in my 3rd pregnancy….here are the things I am SO happy I have/invested in.

1. A good pregnancy pillow. Here is a link to the one I have. I also have friends who love this type.
2. At least 2 solid pairs of pregnancy jeans/pants.
   • I love old navy
   • Gap has great options too
   • Also, for workout pants I love lululemons align leggings. These stretch well during pregnancy and work great postpartum.
3. A quality water bottle, not only do you instantly get dehydrated while pregnant, but having a great large waterbottle with a straw postpartum is key (especially if nursing). I love this one – I drink way more because of it.
4. I was struggling with dehydration and my dr mentioned electrolites. Here are some of my favorites. Especially as I am trying to eat clean.
5. Speaking of clean eating. I love the just ingredients brand. I am a big fan of this flavor of protein powder too.
6. It is easy to sneeze and pee while pregnant…especially if you have already birthed a child. These undies have SAVED me. I actually just went and bought more.
7. My Dr recommended this brand of lip balm, my lips were so cracked – again due to dehydration. It has worked great!
