As your belly grows, you may want a shaper to not only support your belly but to keep those thighs from chaffing. This Motherhood Maternity shaper is amazing under dresses! And it helps even out our belly shape.
Belly Butter
Growing bellies need belly butter! This all natural, organic butter from Earth Mama helps soothe your dry skin which can be a problem as your stomach stretches.

Stretching skin calls for stretch mark cream. Stay ahead of the problem with Palmer’s cream. Use in conjunction with the belly oil and butter from above to ensure no stretch marks!
Maternity Belt
If you plan to stay active during pregnancy, a maternity belt is a must. This supports your back, hips and pelvis. A belt will help you during normal day activity while correcting your posture and supporting abdominal muscles.
Maternity Pillow
Need some support while sleeping? The Snoogle is the perfect solution to getting some z’s. This support pillow takes the place of multiple pillows to help support hips, back, neck, and tummy.
