Seyka’s Pregnancy Must-Have Checklist
I had a pregnancy that was rich in fun, health, and generally feeling great. I know that every body going into pregnancy is different, and every pregnancy itself is different, so I encourage you to do what works best for you! Below are some of the things that worked best for me.

Pregnancy clothing
Blanqi
Blanqi is a pregnancy and postpartum brand that beats out all the rest that I have tried. Especially for more active pregnant people, this brand helped me feel supported and cute! They have tops, leggings, belly bands, and even dresses. This is a must for my pregnancy checklist.

Maternity Bra
This Caramel Cantina bra is so comfortable for pregnancy and it is my favorite nursing bra!
Comfort Maternity Items
Pregnancy Pillow
I couldn’t have slept nearly as well as I did without my pregnancy pillow. It supported my back, my belly and my neck. Also, a fun trick – if you like your pillow and don’t want to use the pregnancy pillow under your head, flip it upside down! This is a can’t-skip for my pregnancy checklist.
This is the pregnancy pillow I have and LOVE but I’m sure others would work well too!
Hysterically Large Waterbottle
I know it looks excessive, but I was SO thirsty in pregnancy and now while breastfeeding. Plus all of the health recommendations encourage you to drink a LOT of water! Filling up my bottle once a day was a game changer for me. I’m obsessed with this water bottle:
Waterproof Mattress Cover
You guys, pregnancy and postpartum life is a WET time of life haha. I was sweating with hormonal fluctuations, sometimes breasts leak during breastfeeding, you want to be prepared if your water breaks while you’re in bed… need I say more? Having a great waterproof mattress protector is important!
Here is one option, but find the one that you like best.
Immune Support
When you are pregnant your immune system is compromised because your body is sending messages to your immune system to not attack the precious parasite you’re building. So it is a great time to have immune support regularly! Here are some of my favorites (plus everything in my pregnancy supplement / vitamin blog)
Emergen-C : Get it here on Amazon
Calendula – you can also use this in your peri-bottle postpartum!
Zinc and Elderberry lozenges
Hope this helps you feel supported throughout your pregnancy my lovely friends.
