Comfortable U Pillow

A U pillow enables the pregnant woman to sleep comfortably from head to toe. It's the ideal thing to cradle into and also provides relief from back and shoulder aches during pregnancy.

Moreover, it is stuffed with Fusion Fiber, which is a fluffy and soft material. The whole pillow molds itself to the shape of the body and surrounds the pregnant woman in a cocoon. What's a better gift than uninterrupted, restful sleep!

Essential Oils

Pregnancy becomes very uncomfortable by all the morning sickness, swollen ankles, aching back and tired muscles. Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to ease the stress and fatigue.
Essential oils in the air bring about a calm and cool environment, thereby soothing the pregnant mom's mind. As all essential oils are not favorable for them, check from the doctor or the shopkeeper before you purchase the oil. Lavender, lemon and geranium are suitable for pregnant women.

Massage

A monthly prenatal massage is one of the best gifts for a pregnant women. Get her a spa prenatal massage certificate and let her pamper herself at the beauty salon.
In addition to the massage, you could also get her a facial, manicure and pedicure certificate from the salon as well. Just make sure the certificate is from her favorite salon.

Breakfast in Bed

Serving a light breakfast in bed will cheer a pregnant mom. Depending on what she can eat and her cravings at that time, set a light but nutritious breakfast and surprise her in the morning. Breakfasts in bed are always welcome and even better during pregnancy.

Bouncing Ball or Birthing Ball

Sitting and standing becomes difficult as the pregnancy progresses. The sofa normally causes her to sink in, thereby making it tough for her to get up.
Large bouncing balls are good gifts, because their firm structure makes them easy to sit and easy to get up from. This large, inflatable ball is also used to ease the pain experienced during labor. It is also useful to do exercises in preparation for labor.

Books

Pregnant women love reading books about prenatal development, nursing, baby names and baby care. There are scores of books available on these topics.
You could buy her a few of these books and pack it in a nice little basket. You could also put in a pregnancy scrapbook, for the expecting mom to make notes of the progresses in her pregnancy. Or else if you could pick up a baby book, wherein she can record precious details of her baby, when he or she is born.

Comfortable Clothes and Shoes

Since the body shape and size of a woman changes during pregnancy, pregnant women require loads of maternity clothes. You could get her a comfortable pair of cute pajamas or a luxurious robe that can make her feel pampered.
Or else you could get the Aimee bra-less nursing nightgown, which is a nightgown loved by scores of pregnant women across the globe. Made up of 90% cotton and 10% lycra, it is stretchable and is very comfortable.
For comfortable shoes you could get crocs or flat fuzzy slippers. However, since size becomes an issue, it's better to give her a gift certificate from a maternity outlet, wherein, she can go and pick up the clothes she likes.
