19 Amazon Finds to Make Your Pregnancy a Little More Comfortable

Changes in hormone levels can zap your skin of the natural oils that keep it soft and smooth. To combat dry skin, dermatologists and moms recommend La Roche-Posay’s Double Repair Moisturizer (winner of Best Moisturizer in the 2024 Pregnancy-Safe Beauty Awards). The powerful but gentle formula contains water, ceramides, squalane, and niacinamide, which all work to strengthen your skin's protective barrier. Free from fragrances (you're welcome!), this light, non-greasy French product leaves you feeling super pampered without breaking the bank.

Just like babies, baby bumps often require a bit of cradling. The Belly Bandit Upsie wins rave reviews for being supportive but super light. Partially because it's made from super soft bamboo viscose with a little Spandex for stretch. The wraparound style attaches with Velcro, and molds to your body without digging into your skin.

What to Expect moms love POSHDIVAH's Maternity Leggings — so much so they've been named the Best Maternity Leggings. These Amazon finds check all the boxes: a comfy over-the-belly panel, non-see-through material and side pockets for storing essentials. And given the price ($48 for two pairs), you can stock up on enough to get through pregnancy and postpartum. 

Pregnancy hormones do a number on your body, including causing your temperature to fluctuate throughout the day (and even the hour).

And the structured design means you can wear it virtually anywhere.

Voted Best Pregnancy Pillow in the 2024 Mom Must-Have Awards, the Momcozy U-Shaped Pillow has a polyfill blend that's firm but still soft.

Voted Best Stretch Mark Cream in the 2024 Pregnancy-Safe Beauty Awards, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion does triple duty. To start, the blend of cocoa and shea butter, combined with argan, almond and coconut oil provides the soothing hydration of a hundred-dollar cream (but for under $20!). It also contains lutein to support the skin as it stretches and vitamin E works to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. 

When those unexpected bouts of nausea hit, sucking on a hard ginger candy can help get you feeling right in no time thanks to ginger’s nausea-relieving and tummy-settling properties.

Experts recommend drinking eight to 10 cups of water per day during pregnancy, so why not splurge on something stylish and sustainable to help you meet your goals?

It also has a narrow bottom to fit perfectly into cup holders.

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, you’ll likely find that your pre-pregnancy underwear doesn’t quite cut it anymore (or is just getting stretched to oblivion). Treat yourself to these super soft maternity panties, made from cotton and spandex for the perfect combo of stretch and breathability. The waistband can be pulled up over your bump, or folded down to go underneath — giving you two styles in one panty. 

Despite being labled a nursing bra, What to Expect moms say the Bravado Seamless Nursing Bra is truly the Best Maternity Bra. The fabric feels soft and smooth against skin, and has enough of a stretch to accommodate breast growth. One of the biggest perk sis that you can wear is postpartum too, thanks to drop-down cups that offer easy nursing access. And no matter how many times you wash it, moms say it remains secure and snug without being too tight. 

Many pregnant moms turn to compression socks to help reduce painful swelling. Kindred Bravely’s Maternity Compression Socks are made with an ultra soft bamboo blend that provides high compression at the ankle for extra help banishing swelling and soreness. Slip them on in the A.M. (ideally after elevating your legs for a few moments).

Make your bathroom time a bit more comfortable with the Squatty Potty, which elevates your legs and feet to help you go #2 without straining. It’s life-changing, to be honest — especially during pregnancy, when issues like stomach discomfort, constipation and hemorrhoids are more likely to occur. Plus, the simple bamboo design looks chic, not medical, when placed in a bathroom.

Skip the itchy, awkward hospital gown and add this to your delivery bag, stat. The 100% cotton gown will become an essential throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond thanks to a range of thoughtful features. It’s comfortable to wear now thanks to a generous drawstring waist and soft fabric. When it’s time to give birth, you’ll appreciate the hidden front panel for access during examinations or fetal monitoring, while the row of snaps down the back can provide easy epidural access if needed. Shoulder snaps on both sides let you pull the top down for skin-to-skin contact with your new baby and make breastfeeding access a breeze. 

A sturdy exercise ball is a must-have for new mamas in so many ways. During pregnancy, it can be used for stretching and makes a comfortable seat that alleviates back pain. Once you’re in labor, it’s a great tool for rolling your body through those early contractions. And once the baby is born? It’s the perfect spot for bouncing and soothing a little one. This BABYGO option is available in 10 colors and three sizes, and it comes with a book filled with exercises to help you through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.

Carving out time to journal during pregnancy is a great way to slow down, appreciate the joyful moments (or release the tough ones) and connect with both yourself and your baby during what’s likely a very busy season of your life. The Promptly Journals' Childhood History Journal is the perfect, low-pressure memory keeper for pregnancy. Start it now with a few thoughtful prompts for each trimester, then add to it annually to create an 18-year heirloom you can gift to your child one day. The 250 pages are beautifully bound in linen (available in a range of pretty shades to choose from) and capture milestones, memories, footprints and photos.

The tummy mask is specially shaped to cover the entire belly bump with a hydrating, skin-soothing serum made with collagen and coconut oil. All Evereden products are pediatrician-created and dermatologist-tested so you can trust that they are safe and gentle on your pregnancy skin.

Deemed the Best Pregnancy-Safe Sunscreen in the 2024 What to Expect Beauty Awards, Supergoop Mineral Mattescreen has won over moms-to-be for not leaving behind a white cast when applied. The non-greasy, whipped formula goes on smoothly and has a slight tint to give it a makeup-level finish. Bonus: If you have acne-prone skin (or have fallen victim to pregnancy acne), Supergoop's formula contains zinc, a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient that helps prevent breakouts.

Many experts recommend a sturdy support band for alleviating back and round ligament pain during pregnancy. Deemed the Best Pregnancy Belly Band by What to Expect staff and community members, this Azmed option is super easy to put on and take off thank to Velcro straps. It fastens at your lower back — not the belly — which some moms appreciate since it means less fabric against your more sensitive bump. 

If you don't need a ton of support, the Boppy Pregnancy Wedge Pillow is ideal! It takes up minimal space while still providing support while you sleep (or sit). It’s stiff but still soft, so you won't feel like you're resting on a brick. Bonus: You can pack it in your hospital bag to make labor and delivery more comfortable.
