Pregnancy stuff…

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone had bought anything specific for your pregnancy yet? I’m 14 weeks and kind of feel like I’m not really doing much or being very productive! I have some apps that have checklists of things I should be buying but haven’t got anything! For example; I keep seeing posts about pregnancy pillows. What exactly would they be for? Sorry…feel like I’m going into to this blind!

I am 14 weeks too and haven’t bought much at all yet so don’t worry! Mainly just a few clothing items and waiting until after 20 weeks to make any big purchases

Not bought anything yet waiting till 20 weeks also. I think a pregnancy pillow is to help you with your sleeping if you get uncomfortable however I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it as they are easy to get hold of x

The only thing I have purchased was a pregnancy pillow because I’ve been uncomfortable! I do have a book that my mother gifted me from previous but that’s about it.

This is my second pregnancy, so I already have most thing. I started using my pregnancy pillow last week,at 15w, to be more comfortable and avoid pelvic pain I had with my first, that helps keep your legs supported at night, it's good to keep a gap between your legs to avoid pain later. If you sleep well so far and have no pain you don't need it yet. In third trimester a pillow is much need to support your back and belly too, normal pillows can do the trick too. I'm also already using my nursing bras, and larger clothes to be comfortable

All I've bought is a few maternity clothes as my bump is bigger this time. I'll get my pregnancy pillow down from the attic once I feel I need it. If you're okay for a while, you could hold off for a bit. 😊

14 weeks and I’ve bought nothing. It’s hard enough knowing I have to dismantle my walk-in wardrobe that I’ve had for the past 3 years to turn it into the baby’s room 😬

16 weeks and still haven’t bought a single thing! X

I have bought all the big important things for baby already and a boat load of clothes but my SIL gave advise (she's on her second now so she's done the rounds already) that babies actually don't need very much so better to buy on a need basis and I think the same goes for pregnancy. There's nothing to say you'll need a pregnancy pillow or maternity clothes, or any of the gimmicks so just buy it as you need it I reckon

I’ve been sleeping with normal pillows between my legs to help with hip pain in bed instead of a pregnancy pillow, and I only have one pregnancy book and have bought some over bump leggings but that’s about it. I’m 15w+5

@Sara same as you, normal pillow in between my legs for now and got given 2 books but that's it. I bought some very stretchy shorts when we had hot weather which are so comfy 😅

Another vote for a normal pillow in between your legs while sleeping. I bought a pregnancy pillow when I was expecting my first and never found it as comfortable. It’s in the loft and I need to get round to taking to a baby bank or similar as I have absolutely no intention on using it 😂

A bra extender is all I’ve bought so far
