Most people know that booze is not safe for pregnant women and will not even consider getting her that.

What to Eat When You’re Pregnant: A Week-by-Week Guide to Support Your Health and Your Baby’s Development
Her friends have already likely given her dozens of copies of What to Expect When You’re Expecting so you can get her a different book that she can actually use. The fact of the matter is that pregnant women who are not dealing with a lot of morning sickness or who are past that stage in their pregnancies will end up getting crazy cravings that are difficult to ignore.

As someday, she can share that journal with her own kids because they will be fascinated to know how she was during her pregnancies with them. This will become a cherished family treasure.

All of the soft surfaces are ideal for a nursery room, as the surface is made from a microfiber that is easy to clean. Therefore if the baby spits up, it will be easy to clean up.
Baby Bump Belly Stickers
Pregnancy is stressful, especially during the third trimester and mom will be counting down the days at that point for the baby to come out. However, these hilarious belly stickers are a great way to get her laugh even when in discomfort. In fact, if this mom-to-be is sharing her pregnancy on social media, this is a great way for her to show off even more. There are 10 random selected sheets of stickers. Each element of the face is its own sticker, therefore you can be flexible about where to place the eyes, mouth, and so on.
Floor Mopping Robot
A pregnant lady simply cannot bend over to mop the floors in the later stages of pregnancy. Therefore, if you want to help her with housework you can get her a floor mopping robot and she will certainly appreciate it. She will even make great use of it after the baby is born since her time will be severely limited at that point.
Baby Wrap or Sling
Baby wraps and slings are excellent to wear while you are running errands with the baby in tow, as well as if you are breastfeeding. They are a little stretchy, as well as machine washable. She does not have to worry about straps, buckles or snaps with a wrap or sling. All she has to do is wrap and go, as this is a snug and secure way for the baby to stay close to mom (or dad) during the day!
Baby Clothes
What mom-to-be doesn’t ooh & aah over tiny newborn baby clothes? If she knows she’s having a baby boy, then stock her up on some onesies, sleepers, socks, and hats all cute and blue. If she’s having a baby girl, then stock up on ruffled, frilly pink onesies, sleepers and the like. If she’s going to be surprised, a nice handful of white or yellow neutral onesies and sleepers will certainly come in handy!
These are great ideas. I never thought of a Floor Mopping Robot!
