Gotta have it
by Real moms-to-be
What couldn't you have lived without out during pregnancy? Six nine-monther moms tell you what they think!
"Maternity underwear. I really thought that I could get away with buying a larger size of my existing undies but no way! Not comfy at all! I finally caved in September and bought a three-pack from Target. Ohhh... so much better! I ran out and got another pack so I wasn't washing clothes every stinkin' day. I gotta say that sexiness aside... I love these things." - Robin
"My air mattress. I thought for sure a bed would be more comfortable, but nooooo. The air mattress cradled my belly very nicely." - Jodi
"Air conditioning! I never knew how hot I would be during this pregnancy. I think I would have gone crazy if I had not had my air conditioner. Even now, I sleep with the window open and no covers, and I live outside of Philly, where it is now in the 30s or 40s at night." - Ali
"My computer. Without it, what would I do with all the extra time? And all the info, too! Hurray for computers and the Internet!" - Mar
"I really could not have made it through this without my husband. He acted as my home health nurse, giving me daily IV fluids through a PICC line in my arm at home for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy when I had hyperemesis (severe morning sickness/dehydration). He has also done so many countless McDonald's and Dairy Queen late-night runs, among other things. A very close second to my husband: My low-rise Motherhood jeans. I honestly lived in them the entire pregnancy." - Heidi
"My husband and my mega-family-size bottle of Tums!" - Miraclemom
