You asked for it, we answered.
So many of you have written in asking for a full round up of my must haves for pregnancy, along with an outfits round-up from my pregnancy. On social media and within blog posts I have mentioned the best leggings or my favorite skincare, but now I am giving you everything, all in one place – the go-to guide for pregnancy, or at least my go-to guide for pregnancy.
First I’ll share my top products and at the bottom of this post you will find all of my outfits.
Beginning, middle and end of my pregnancy these leggings were hands down my favorite maternity product out there {plus they're only $13}! I started with a size small and in my third trimester wore a size medium and honestly they go with everything and feel the most comfortable.
Shop NowOkay, I'm not one of those girls who has a ton of workout gear laying around the house, nor did I ever dream that I would actually find myself using a bouncy ball on a daily basis. But for some reason, somehow, this ball has become one of my favorite things to sit on during pregnancy. It is AMAZING. It's the only time I feel truly comfortable. I won't be spending an entire episode of Friends on it, but I will say that it feels incredible to stretch on and get some lower back pain relief. It's been a saving grace.

Hands down some of the comfiest sneakers I own. Made so much use out of these and other Veja sneakers all throughout my pregnancy.
Shop NowI bought this and loved it so much that I ordered it in more colors immediately. So perfect for the days you just want to wear leggings and sneakers, but also adorable with a midi skirt.
Shop NowTHE GREAT. makes a truly great tee and sometimes that's all you want to wear.
Shop NowOb-SESSED with this face cream. It's hands down my new favorite. In my 9 months of being pregnant, I went through one 30ml bottle.
Shop NowI always saw maternity jeans with the big belly panels and thought they'd be too uncomfortable. The idea of too much material wrapped around my body seemed confining. When I purchased these in my third trimester it gave my wardrobe a total revamp. I will never forget the day they arrived. I ran into the bedroom to show Grant my new jeans - LOOK! I can wear jeans again!
Shop NowThis was a pre-pregnancy purchase and the only button down I wore consistently throughout. It even fit during my third trimester because of the back opening. Definitely worth the investment!
Shop NowI decided instead of focusing on finding the perfect bra for my pregnancy, that I would just go ahead and invest in a comfortable bra for breastfeeding too. This is all I've been wearing for the past 9 months - I got multiples in both colors and I love it.
Shop NowThis dress almost feels like it was made for a bump. Also it seriously couldn't be any comfier. Feels like you're walking around in a big, cozy tee.
Shop Nowloved these jeans until I couldn't breath in them anymore. These are great for first and second trimester or until you start to feel they are digging into your sides too much.
Shop NowA true classic. Loved wearing these with everything from jeans to dresses. Always a go-to for me, but especially during these last few months when nothing other than sneakers or slides sounded appealing.
Shop NowI lived in this dress at the beginning of my pregnancy. It showed off my cute bump and was so versatile. I could easily take it from day to night, and it actually saved me during Paris Fashion Week when the dress I had planned to wear didn't end up fitting ha!
Shop NowI had been dreaming of these for so long that I finally decided to treat myself midway through my pregnancy. I loved that they were an alternative to sneakers or slides, and know I will cherish this timeless pair for years to come.
Shop NowThis handy floor pillow can be used for stretching and making sure that when you sit down you are on your sits bones, which is very important throughout pregnancy. Again, I never saw myself actually using it but it's now one of my favorite things in the house. When our friends come over and there isn't enough chair space, I always opt to sit on this pillow, which also allows me to stretch out while we are talking.
Shop NowHere is one example of the coats I loved wearing all throughout my pregnancy. If you know me, you know this style is one of my go-to's, but especially during my pregnancy I loved how they looked over dresses, adding a little extra comfort and warmth.
Shop NowBy the middle of my third trimester nothing fit, nothing felt comfortable and I cannot tell you how many nights I had tears because I felt like I had nothing comfortable to wear. These are the undies I wore toward the final weeks because I was always running hot and they felt the most comfortable.
Shop NowI still don't know where I stand on stretch mark prevention and using the right oils to help prevent. All I can say is that I've been using this oil every single day on my stomach since we got a positive test and I do not have a single stretch mark on my stomach. I've also heard it's a genetic thing though. Side note: I use it on my butt too and I have stretch marks ALL OVER MY BEHIND so take this with a grain of salt. I love the way this oil smells too!
Shop NowHonestly this is the most comfortable thing in the world to me right now. I purchased it in grey and maroon. I got a size 1 because it can stretch.
Shop NowThis was one of my favorite books. I read a lot. But this one made me feel more prepared on how to handle the baby once she arrives.
Shop NowWhen it came to beauty I figured that the less is more method was safest with my pregnancy. I hardly wore any make up and only used this oil on my face along with the Augustinus Bader face cream. It's the only product I've used on my face in the past year.
Shop NowI had never purchased this brand prior to pregnancy but I honestly feel like it's going to be a new favorite even after the baby arrives.
Shop NowAnother great pair of maternity jeans. I loved how I could rotate these with the skinny jeans to mix it up a bit.
Shop NowI ordered them all. The gigantic leachco pillow, the wedge... anything you can think of. At the end of the day I just use the same two pillows I've always used under my head and hugging/between my legs. My favorite thing in the world, however, is this pregnancy pillow which I use 24/7 when I'm sitting on the couch. I cannot imagine my pregnancy without it.
Shop NowThese are the comfiest heels and I wore them up until even the comfiest heels were unwearable. But really, these are the best ever.
Shop NowOkay, so when any form of elevated shoe no longer stood a chance, these were the answer. I wore them everywhere from around my office to my holiday party. They were an absolute staple.
Shop NowPart 2 of my go-to pajama set throughout my pregnancy. The absolute best.
Shop NowIn this section, you can click on the images to see all of the outfit details within each post. I have to admit, dressing the bump came with its challenges and there were many, many days that I didn’t feel like changing out of sweats. I’m not necessarily proud of all of my pregnancy outfits, however you guys asked for a round-up so here you have it!
So what are/were your pregnancy go-to’s? Let’s help each other out down below in the comments. From me and my bump to you and yours…
