Can’t believe I am almost done with my first pregnancy! Sharing all of the pregnancy essentials that I have been loving so far! I’ve been keeping it super simple when it comes to pregnancy “products” but here are a few that have been a great addition to my routine.

Hydration Support
-
I was already drinking electrolytes pre-pregnancy, so this is something I’m just maintaining being pregnant. My doctor said to be sure to stay extra hydrated and these are perfect to help with that! They will also be great to have postpartum and breastfeeding.
Cure Electrolytes Individual Packets
-
Get these individual packs if you like to take them on-the-go!
Just Ingredients Lemonade Electrolytes (code: KARLYALANE)
-
The cleanest ingredients and tastes like a fresh lemonade! Great for kids too.
The Absorption Company Hydration Drink Mix
-
Another great brand for clean hydration/recovery drink mix
-
My favorite stainless steel water bottle that has a straw while also closing completely and doesn’t spill!
-
Ice has been my biggest pregnancy craving….so I caved and finally bought a nugget ice maker and let me just say…why did I wait so long?! Obsessed.
Body Care
-
So many of you recommended this and it’s so nice! It’s not super thick, blends well, and feels kind of cooling. Doesn’t leave you oily either. Smells like an orange creamsicle which I loove.
-
This is also a great thing to add over the belly butter to lock in that hydration.
Osea Undaria Algae Body Butter (code: KARLYALANE)
-
I also used this pre-pregnancy and this is amazing at keeping the itchiness away! My skin has been so dry and my belly and boobs have been so so itchy.
Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil (code: KARLYALANE)
-
Nothing compares to this. I love it and will continue buying it forever. Since being pregnant, I have been mixing the body butter and oil together in my hands and then applying it all over.
Osea Undaria Body Polish (code: KARLYALANE)
-
The best gentle AHA body exfoliator to remove dead skin and leave you skin silky smooth.
-
Since becoming pregnant I have been extra smelly…this deodorant has been working so well! All scents are approved.
-
Finally found a non-toxic antibacterial body wash! Like I mentioned above….I needed something extra strong for pregnancy smells, this is perfect!
-
The best clean ingredient self tanner, pregnancy safe! Fool proof to use as well. Watch this video to see how I use it.

Sleep Essentials
-
This has been a game changer for sleeping comfortably. It is not fully non-toxic but it is 1000% worth.
-
I’ve really been struggling with insomnia during pregnancy and this magnesium helps immensely! It can also help with muscle cramps.
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes
-
I love adding these to my bath to help pull out toxins from the body. It also helps me relax before bed.
Microwave Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders
-
I put this on my neck at night and it helps with relaxation SO much. I look forward to using this every single night!

Prenatal Vitamins / Supplements
I recently wrote a blog post about prenatals and why I chose the one I chose!
Needed Prenatal Multi Essentials (code: KARLYALANE) the one I take
-
This is the prenatal I am taking and will continue to take throughout my pregnancy. It’s 3 capsules per day, which I find to be manageable. They also have an 8 pill option that you can break up throughout the day. Use my code KARLYALANE for a discount on their website.
Needed Iron Supplement (code: KARLYALANE) the one I take
-
I found out that I am iron deficient in my pregnancy so I am happy that Needed makes and option that is easy on the gut and absorbs correctly!
Beli Women Prenatal Multivitamin
-
This is another great option that I have taken in the past. 3 capsules per day.
Ritual Essential Prenatal Multivitamin
-
This one is also great and only 2 capsules per day!
Organic Loose Leaf Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
-
Red raspberry leaf tea is believed to potential to strengthen the uterus, prepare the body for labor, and potentially shorten labor duration. I chose to find a loose leaf option to avoid the microplastics in tea bags. Use this glass pitcher to make it!
-
It’s not always easy to poop when you are pregnant. This helps. That’s all.
Clothing
-
Hands down the best maternity t-shirt I have found. Comes in 4 colors! You need, just trust me.
-
Tight and holds you in but not too tight. So stretchy and comfy!
