Welcoming a child into the world is a joyful yet stressful time. Expectant moms preparing to bring their little one into the world, especially if it's their first child, are likely overwhelmed. While new moms are often well prepared with the baby essentials such as diapers, bottles and onesies, they can forget their own needs. Getting something for the baby is a common instinct, but it shouldn't stop you from getting something special for the expectant mother.
Expectant moms are about to endure nine months of change, only to experience more change once they welcome their tiny new family member. Their bodies are working hard to bring their baby into the world. After the baby is born, their bodies will work hard to heal while also feeding and nurturing the child. They deserve gifts that will help them during and after their pregnancy.
Spoil the baby with gifts from the registry but don't forget to spoil the mama by giving gifts she didn't ask for and didn't think she would need. Consider comfy maternity clothes to wear throughout her pregnancy or a maternity pillow to support her when she gets closer to her due date.
