1st Trimester Must Haves
I know everyone has different experiences with pregnancy. I’m just sharing what worked for me during my first trimester. I barely had nausea I was just EXHAUSTED, constipated, and bloated.
- I’m paranoid about stretch marks even though I know it’s inevitable. I got this cocoa butter set from Palmer’s I’ve been using. It’s really hydrating and I like the smell.
- I was always hungry and wanted a snack so Lara bars were my best friends.
- The constipation was outrageous so I needed a stool softener because I couldn’t live like that anymore 😂
- If you know me you know I love a drink. I found Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits and made myself some faux aperol spritz and let me tell you it was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend this brand.
- Pants were my enemy so leggings became the go to. Booty by Brabants Chrome Collection was a god send. Buttery soft and super stretchy. Both their leggings, bike shorts, and tanks are 100. I will say I bought the lavender and opal chrome shorts and had to return the opal. It was too tight but the lavender was perfect so I’m not sure why that was.
- The gas was BANANAS. Gas X became a great companion.
- Obviously a prenatal vitamin has been in the rotation and I’ve just been using the One a Day brand.
- Hydration is key. I’ve never drank so much water in my life and I still feel like it hasn’t been enough. This 40 oz Stanley my mom got me has been with me everywhere.
- Piggybacking on hydration. Liquid IV has been a daily additive.
- Vitality brand leggings are also SO COMFY. Highly recommend. Shout out to my friend Kristen who showed me the brand.
