1. Belly Band Shirt
This Belly Band Shirt is incredibly useful not only during pregnancy, but many women love them for everyday wear. It can be used to add a little extra length to shirts, so as her belly grows she can stay covered. Some women use them as a bra or bandeau.
It’s traditionally called a haramaki which is Japanese. It helps you to keep your midsection warm while also encouraging circulation.

2. Belly Butter/Lotion
As mom-to-be’s belly starts to grow, she will begin to worry about stretch marks. (Okay.. but what woman doesn’t??)
Give her a special belly cream that will help to prevent stretch marks. She probably won’t splurge on something like this for herself!

Do you want to give your friend something that she can hold onto forever?? Journals are a beautiful keepsake. It’s such a sweet way to remember her pregnancy and write down her memories, so she can share them with her little one someday!
I love that this journal is simple and includes space to put ultrasound photos, as well!
