Women go through many physical and emotional changes during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can cause lots of discomforts and pains. The increasing body weight and size also affect many expectant mums.
Come this Mother’s Day, why not make things a lot smoother and easier for a spouse, friend or sister who will soon become a mother? Not sure what to give? Here are some Mother’s Day gift ideas for expectant mums.
Pregnancy Books
Every pregnant woman should have at least a good pregnancy book to guide her through the different stages of pregnancy. That makes pregnancy books the ideal gifts for mums-to-be. Good titles include The Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy (Collins Living, 2004), The Mother of all Pregnancy Books by Ann Douglas (Wiley, 2002) and What to Expect when You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel (Workman Publishing Company, 2008).
Pregnancy journals to record memorable moments, pregnancy organizers to keep track of everything during pregnancy and books on baby names are good gifts too. Another great pregnancy gift idea is to subscribe to a pregnancy or parenting magazine for the expectant mum.
Back Care Products
Back pains are common in pregnant women. Give the expectant mum’s back a break by giving her a practical back care product. Pregnancy support maternity pillows, portable lift-up seat cushions, maternity belts, inflatable and portable bed wedges, recliners and massage rollers are excellent pregnancy gifts that provide back care and support.
Morning Sickness Remedies
All expectant mums will be delighted to have morning sickness remedies within reach. Help a mum-to-be alleviate morning sickness by giving her uncrystallized stem ginger, a ginger spray, or morning sickness tea.
Maternity Wear
There are many comfortable yet stylish maternity clothes that can be purchased for expectant mums. Choose maternity wear that can be worn from early pregnancy through to full term and after the birth of the baby. Many maternity wear shops now offer a wide range of corporate, casual, chic and even glamorous evening maternity clothes. Donning the right comfortable and stylish maternity wear can help boost a pregnant mum’s self-image.
Maternity Photo Album
This will need a little bit of planning. If a spouse is newly pregnant, start taking photos of her at different stages of her pregnancy. Compile the photos and then put them in a special photo album. Surprise her on Mother’s Day with that gift. Photos of her and her bump will be cherished for years to come. Alternatively, arrange a professional photo session for her. She’ll be delighted to look her best while pregnant and have the moment captured on photo.
Give a pregnant spouse, friend or sister something practical and useful this Mother’s Day. Pregnancy books, back care products, morning sickness remedies, stylish maternity wear and maternity photo albums are just some pregnancy gifts that expectant mums will be delighted to have.
