Helping with the nausea

If the mum to be is suffering through morning sickness, which doesn’t just happen in the morning,  or heartburn, why not make her a gift basket to help. Fill the basket with things like crackers to snack on, preggo pops or even just lollipops and hard candies. Add in sweet things, like pop tarts or small chocolate bars. Put ginger ale or Lucozade for mum to stay hydrated.

Supporting her bump

As her belly grows it can be very uncomfortable. There are special pregnancy belly bands that take some of the stress on mums back. Even just a body pillow to help while she is laying down can be helpful.

Prenatal Massage
