The best gift my sister got after she has her baby was from a family fried of ours who was VERY generous. She had her cleaning ladies come to my sister's house every 2 weeks for 3 months to clean her house. It was a GODSEND!!!

Wow!!! What a great gift!!! Chat Icon

I am thinking more of a pregnancy gift...she is still pretty early (about 7 weeks).

I'm 8 weeks now, and I think some books about expecting would be wonderful. And if it's a close friend, maybe a cute maternity top and a onesie with a funny saying or something!

Or it would be funny to make a pregnancy preparation basket, with sea bands, ginger candy, heartburn medicine...Chat Icon

My dr. told me no prenatal massages in the first trimester.

Ahhh gotcha.... I would defenitely recomend this book:

"From conception to birth: A life unfolds"

AWESOME AWESOME book!!! My MIL got it for us when we got pregnant. They have real pictures of the baby from the moment of conception to brith!! Great book to read with DH and see what your baby looks like at each moment from conceptin to delivery.

SPECTACULAR

Re: Best gift for a pregnant mama?

These suggestions are wonderful thank you so much!! Chat Icon Chat Icon But, I hate to be a pain. She may be moving in the near future so I am hesitant about a massage and the same thing with the magazine subscription. It has to be a physical gift. Chat Icon

Re: Best gift for a pregnant mama?

hi!!

you can find great gifts on this website:
preggo gifts

as a pregnant lady myself, i highly suggest the following:
the body pillow!! hands down, every pregnant woman will bogart all the pillows in the house to make her back and grow belly comfy. she will love this
External Image

I also suggest stretch mark cream lotions. at least 9 out of 10 pregnant women are concerned about stretch marks and prevention

External Image

and finally belly bands!!
belly bands are great for when you too small for maternity pants yet too big for prepregnancy pants. it allows you to wear your pants unbuttoned without anyone knowing.. they come in a variety of colors..
External Image

and finally, the baby bargains book!! i cant rec. this enough! it gives a review of pretty much everything you will need and not need for your baby as you register! i loved it!

Re: Best gift for a pregnant mama?


I love the idea of pregnancy basket. You could add lots of little things

You could put in books, lotions for the belly and body, teas (peppermint,chamomile), candies, gift cert. for ice creamChat Icon , Maybe a cute maternity top for the spring (she won't be using it now but, you could get it on clearance now and add it to the basket), bubble bath or a bath salt would be awesome.
