Some women glide through pregnancy like glowing versions of their original selves, with a sweet neat little growing bump... others of us... insomnia, nausea, aches and pains, raging hormones, and extreme exhaustion. Growing a human life is no easy ride, there is probably no other person in need of a little TLC, and a mum to be gift, than the one giving away all their nutrients and energy to this little ~~parasite~~ sweet growing baby. There is a strong overlap between our mum to be gifts and our self-care gifts, and for good reason. This almost waddling, crying mess of a person needs someone to take care of them for once. Here is a lady who needs a mum to be gift that really says "I've got you". Please note some pregnant mamas to be really do have it together and are no mess at all, they still need to hear the same thing. The impending responsibility of motherhood is a lot and everyone's bodies are pushed to the max - all the TLC is required. Be the friend that was there for her before the baby arrived, and most definitely be the partner that stepped up to take care of her when she needs to see your caring side most, with these thoughtful mum to be gifts she will have no doubt that she is loved and cared for.
Our number one spot goes to this delicious gift from luxury London chocolatier Rococo. The official NHS advice is to increase your milk intake when pregnant, but the lattes are out and the chocolate cravings are in... welcome the luxury hot chocolate! This mum to be gift is comforting, luxurious, good for growing bones, and evidently thoughtful.
Gift detailsDear Karen, please stop telling me to "bank my sleep now before the baby arrives". It is not a bank account KAREN! I cannot just save that for the rainy days when the sleep pennies are tight!! Pregnancy insomnia is super common and horribly unfair, especially when people love to tell you how sleep-deprived you are about to become. This mum to be gift is perfect for long relaxing baths and hopefully a lovely lavender-induced sleep. The Epsom salts even help reduce some of those aches and pains.
Gift detailsThe aches and pains of pregnancy are so very real. This hot water bottle will work wonders on aching backs, plus is there anything more comforting than curling up with a hot water bottle? We particularly love this personalised version as a mum to be gift - just think of the cute message "from bump" you can create for an aching mama.
Gift detailsThere are so many (slightly embarrassing) aches and pains to late pregnancy and new mum life. What one should do to help cracked nipples isn't exactly everyday knowledge or conversation. Enter this mum to be gift set they will be eternally grateful for. Designed by those midwives with seemingly endless knowledge of these things and derived from natural products, these are products to add straight to any hospital bag.
Gift details"Pregnancy brain" is a scientifically proven thing. Here is the mum to be gift that can help with that. Forgetting where you have left something is infuriating, especially when you reach your front door at the end of a long day without those house keys! Help that pregnant friend of yours locate everything and anything easily with these tracker stickers from Tile.
Gift detailsNights in are suddenly the new big nights out. Pregnancy exhaustion will have any mama to be dreaming of a movie night snuggled up under a blanket, hot chocolate in hand, and tequila-induced hangovers a thankfully distant memory.
This mum to be gift is that personalised snuggle when they need it most. So many ideas for cute messages. We think this is the perfect mum to be gift from a partner.
Soaking in water allows a pregnant mama the much-needed break from gravity they've been longing for all day. A little more weightless, a lot more relaxing and warm water to ease aches and pains - baths are king right now! This mum to be gift will be the everyday spa break they need. A spot for a warming hot chocolate, a sleep-inducing candle, an iPad stocked full of trash tv, everything is thought of here.
Gift detailsAnother entry on our top mum to be gifts from Rococo and we aren't even sorry about it. Chocolate is a must during pregnancy, a little chocolate indulgence increases our endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin levels. So if chocolate is what your pregnant pal wants and needs right now, then chocolate they shall have, with this ultimate luxury chocolate indulgence. Don't forget - happy mum, happy baby!
Gift detailsIt won't be a shock that dates and nights out get a whole lot trickier once this little bump becomes a baby. We love this super fun date night as a mum to be gift. It is a fun non-tiring date idea that is really original and not just another dinner out. Creating art has even been scientifically proven to help us relax and unwind from our stressful everyday lives, perfect for mums to be. We think this is a unique mum to be gift they will really enjoy.
Gift detailsI know cashmere bed socks might sound like an absolute self-indulgence but isn't that the point of a good gift? These bed socks feel like the kind of thing we wouldn't think to treat ourselves to but will be so grateful to receive. This is a gift that just says "here is a little TLC", perfect for cosy nights in.
Gift detailsThis organic cotton robe is such a fun upgrade to that once-fluffy old dressing gown. The lightweight cotton makes it the ideal accessory for getting ready with hot hairdryers and makeup spills, whilst the fun designs make it stylish and fun. You can really see yourself sipping your morning cuppa in this one. Very sophisticated!
Gift detailsMummy-and-me matching has to be done right to really work - and Seraphine have hit the cutest mark with these matching sweaters. Just think of those snuggly photos, and the mama top is even nursing-friendly. This is a fun and cute new baby gift for Mama and baby to both enjoy but also a fabulous mum to be gift too. It will take an expecting mama from bump to baby in the cutest little way.
Gift detailsIf that pregnant lady in your life is really feeling those pregnancy hormones then expect some serious (happy) tears with this mum to be gift. This is such a sweet personalised book to be able to read aloud to that growing bump and will become a real keepsake gift. This is such a sweet gift for pregnant women, the thoughtfulness is evident.
Gift detailsThis beautiful delicate "mamma" necklace is a stunning mothers day gift, or can be personalised with their name as a sweet personalised gift for a mum.
It's not beneath me to admit that so many of us have secretly wanted one since the appearance of that iconic "Carrie" necklace in Sex in the City.
More chocolates we hear you say, judge not we say! These mum to be gift chocs are such a fun idea. Eight yummy chunky chocolate hearts with funny messages just for a mama to be. This is a chance to bring that sense of humour they are really going to need going into those newborn months. The sweet spot of gifts for pregnant women (pun intended) - something to bring a smile to a tired face and chocolate!
Gift detailsDon't we all need to hear this sometimes? A little reminder that we can achieve so much but we can't do everything. When life can seem so challenging we need the chill a candle can bring and this important message. We can't push ourselves to our limits 24/7, sometimes it's just time to chill - the ultimate self-care Sunday accessory as much as that Monday motivational reminder.
Gift detailsOur final entry onto our top mum to be gifts is something quite special we have saved for that intense last month of pregnancy. Here is when we are often most uncomfortable and most impatient for this little arrival. This luxurious countdown calendar includes 24 mama and baby gifts to really keep this mama to be going.
