My Maternity Must-Haves

  • Go-To Pregnancy Book

    What to Expect Before You're Expecting

    Book Description More and more couples are planning for conception, not only for financial and lifestyle reasons, but in response to recent recommendations from the medical community.

    Eden Godsoe says: "This was the only one I owned but can't say I read it that much."
  • Must-Have Pregnancy App

    Pen and paper

    Eden Godsoe says: "My children were born in 2005 and 2007 - no pregnancy apps for me. I just used my friend Erin's lists and spreadsheets together with my own pen & paper lists."
  • Favorite Maternity Store

    A Pea in the Pod

    Eden Godsoe says: "I shopped at Old Navy for basic t-shirts, pants and PJs but A Pea in the Pod was my favorite maternity store."
  • Go-To Maternity Look

    Wrap Dress

    Eden Godsoe says: "I worked throughout my pregnancies so wrap dresses (DVF are my faves) were a go-to look."
  • Favorite Designer Maternity Jeans

    Citizens of Humanity

    These are just like your favorite jeans but with a comfortable maternity waistband to carry you through your pregnancy. A great classic wash to dress up or down and a flattering fit, hugging you just right through the hip and thigh.

    Eden Godsoe says: "I loved my Citizens of Humanity maternity jeans. Had a couple pairs of regular ones and one pair or white ones. Truth be told I wore them well after I delivered..."
  • Go-To Comfy Shoes

    Flip FLops

    Slip on the Reef Women's Seaside Sandals and stroll down the boardwalk on your spring break. The Seaside Sandals' soft, contoured footbed keeps the bottoms of your feet happy as you search out the best spot on the beach.

    Eden Godsoe says: "I live in the Bay Area so wear flip flops all the time anyway. I wouldn't be caught dead in Crocs."
  • Celebrity Maternity Style I Covet

    Natalie Portman - Classic

    Eden Godsoe says: "I'm not a big fashionista so like Natalie's classic lines and colors."
  • Stretch Mark Cream That Works

    Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter

    The yummiest, purest, creamiest, melt-in-your-skin butter we could possibly make. We loaded it with Omega 3, 6 and 9 to ensure your skin has the best fighting chance against stretch marks.

    Eden Godsoe says: "My sister gave me some Mama Mio tummy cream and I loved it."
  • Favorite Body Pillow

    Leachco Snoogle

    The Leachco Snoogle Loop is a contoured pillow designed for comfort for your whole body. Pillow elevates and aligns hips to ensure neutral joint positioning. The hour glass inner curve snugs and supports your entire tummy.
