<p class="has-medium-font-size">Every pregnancy is different. Having been through it twice myself, I can say that each pregnancy was completely different.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">My first pregnancy I had morning sickness and the thought of some food made me want to vomit. I retained so much water weight, I looked like a beached whale. Not kidding.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">My second pregnancy I did not bloat up as much (even though I gained the same amount of weight) and had zero morning sickness, but I was always exhausted. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">My cravings were different with both pregnancies too (even though both were girls). So that proves my point that every pregnancy is different.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">But items you may need during pregnancy isn&#8217;t always so different.</p>



<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Pregnancy must haves and top items recommended:</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JR3T1G6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B07JR3T1G6&;linkCode=as2&;tag=mamabearrevie-20&;linkId=a8e39bb628dc7ddfa83b5b8ddd8f1c9f" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener">Pregnancy pillow</a></span> or extra pillows in general.</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I had a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JR3T1G6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B07JR3T1G6&;linkCode=as2&;tag=mamabearrevie-20&;linkId=a8e39bb628dc7ddfa83b5b8ddd8f1c9f" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">pregnancy pillow</span></a> with my first and loved it. It was magical and since it basically wraps around both ways, I didn&#8217;t have to worry about taking the pillow with me when I rolled over a thousand times a night.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">My second pregnancy I didn&#8217;t really care for the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JR3T1G6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&;camp=1789&;creative=9325&;creativeASIN=B07JR3T1G6&;linkCode=as2&;tag=mamabearrevie-20&;linkId=a8e39bb628dc7ddfa83b5b8ddd8f1c9f" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">pregnancy pillow</span></a>, and preferred to just have extra standard sized pillows on the bed that I could maneuver and place exactly where I want, in whatever awkward looking way I needed.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Untitled-design-2020-07-15T203151.183.png" class="wp-image-7652" width="398" height="221"/></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://goto.target.com/W1JyP" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Preggo Pops</span></a></h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">These things were a life saver. They are basically <a href="https://goto.target.com/W1JyP" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">suckers </span></a>that you suck on to keep from getting or being nauseous. They work wonders and you may need them your entire pregnancy, not just the first trimester. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maternity Clothing</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">It is inevitable, you will need new clothes. YAY SHOPPING! Maternity clothes have changed my friends, no more moo-moos like in Mad Men. They have adorable swim suits, pants, shorts, tanks, shirts, dresses, etc. I got a bunch of my maternity clothes at <a href="https://goto.target.com/ZZJ6q" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Target </span></a>and <a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1202177.143877565.C6329181&;foc=16&;fot=9999&;fos=1" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Motherhood Maternity</span></a>. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>PRO TIP:</em></strong> Go to Motherhood Maternity and try stuff on to get a proper size, even if you are newly pregnant, they have fake belly&#8217;s you can put on (odd yes but bare with me) to see how big you may get and can size accordingly. Even if you don&#8217;t want to buy from there I highly recommend going in store if you can and trying things on and using the test-belly. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Untitled-design-2020-07-15T203458.176.png" class="wp-image-7654" width="391" height="217"/></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skincare</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">You&#8217;re skin will change during pregnancy and there is a bunch of products you may not be able to use anymore that you have been using pre-pregnancy.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Anything with salicylic acid, you have to avoid. Its not recommended during pregnancy, but of course check with your doctor, as I am not one. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">But from one mama to another, I would just take the precaution and avoid harsh chemicals. Plus there are plenty of skincare lines and products out there that do not contain harsh chemicals you can try out.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I used <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://mamabearreviews.com/belif-skincare-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Belif skincare</span></a> during my pregnancy and it worked great! No harsh chemicals but kept my skin hydrated and clean. Read that review <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://mamabearreviews.com/belif-skincare-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">here</span></a>.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://mamabearreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Untitled-design-2020-07-15T205443.198.png" class="wp-image-7659" width="403" height="224"/></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pregnancy Approved Medication</h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Check with your doctor if you are on any medications and you get pregnant. Some you might have to get off of and some might be pregnancy safe. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">And stock up on pregnancy approved medication in your home medicine cabinet too! Advil is <strong>NOT </strong>on the approved list, but <a href="http://goto.target.com/KD20n" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Tylenol </span></a>I believe is considered okay if you must take it. (Once again, double check with a medical professional). </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">I remember I had such a bad head cold/allergies during my pregnancies and I could only take Tylenol and <a href="http://goto.target.com/M9oAJ" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="sponsored noreferrer noopener"><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Claritin </span></a>for allergies. I couldn&#8217;t take my normal Allegra, but Claritin was okayed by my Doctor. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">So always make sure and double check and have some stuff on hand just in case.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">So there you go! My top pregnancy must haves to help with a smooth nine months. Let me know in the comments how far along in your pregnancy journey you are! </p>
