The second trimester of pregnancy is definitely the best trimester. For me, I finally feel better because the nausea eases up, my energy returns, and the belly is getting bigger, but not big enough to cause pain. Let’s talk about my 2nd trimester pregnancy must haves. These are the pregnancy essentials that I just cannot go without and many of them carry over into my third trimester, as well. I love giving pregnancy tips for moms, so you won’t want to miss this!
What to buy in the second trimester?
Are you curious what items to buy for yourself during the second trimester? I have a few things that I just HAVE to have to get through that second trimester of pregnancy. Check out my pregnancy list of things to buy down below!
Second Trimester Must Haves!
These are the second trimester pregnancy essentials that I just have to have! Many of these items also carry over into the third trimester, as well!
If you're planning to wear any tight dresses during your pregnancy, maternity shapewear is a must. It smooths out any lumps and helps hold the belly in.
If I don't eat every couple of hours during pregnancy I get shaky and sick. I have found that Larabars are a quick snack that prevent the shakes. Chocolate chip cookie dough is my favorite flavor!
Your need for hydration increases during pregnancy. I love having a big half-gallon water bottle to sip on throughout the day so I don't get too thirsty!
We all know probiotics are essential for gut health, but did you know that they also help prevent yeast infections. I struggled with that issue in a couple of my past pregnancies, and I found that taking a probiotic eliminates it!
Maternity leggings are an absolute must for me starting in the second trimester. I choose the leggings that go over my belly for a little extra support.
I start drinking red raspberry leaf tea during my second trimester of pregnancy to help tone my uterus. During the second trimester, I steep 1 tablespoon of red raspberry leaf tea in one cup of water and have about one cup per day.
A good nursing bra is also essential for me in the second trimester. I've tried super expensive options, and these from Amazon work just as well for me. I hate wire, so these are wire free, soft, and come with expanders.
