Pregancy Pillow
So during the second trimester I started getting really uncomfortable at night. My back hurt, I felt like I couldn't shift into a good position and it was just horrible all around. Then for one of my baby showers I received a pregnancy pillow and I slept really well until about the last few weeks when everything sucks. It is super huge and bulky and now that I'm not pregnant it is hard to store, but if you are having issues with sleeping this is definitely something I recommend.
Slides or Crocs
So when you come to the last few weeks of pregnancy you are going to have to have some sort of slides so you don't have to bend over to put on shoes. I invested in a pair of crocs right before I had our daughter and I wish I had gotten them sooner.
Vitamin E Oil
When I got pregnant I was super opposed to getting stretch marks and did everything I could to prevent it. I got this Vitamin E oil (which I currently use for moistorizer) and put this on my stomach every morning and evening. I'm not sure if that worked or not, but I didn't end up having stretch marks and will definitely use it with my next baby.
