What to get a friend who is PGaL...

One of my good friends is about 16 weeks pregnant with her second baby.  She and I were pregnant at the same time last year, but tragically she lost that baby around 12 weeks.  I am seeing her tomorrow and I want to get her something nice (this is the first time I am seeing her since she found out she was pregnant).  I don't want to get her anything for the baby yet, because I think she is in a place where she doesn't want anything just yet, because her previous loss makes her extra nervous and doesn't want to "jinx" anything.  Any suggestions as to what I can get her that she can use right now-- maybe something that is pregnancy-related/themed?  I want to do something special for her because she was so amazing to me during my pregnancy and after the baby was born (even after she had suffered her loss, and I totally would have understood if she hadn't even wanted to see me or the baby after that)…

    Spa gift card for some pampering? Parenting or pregnancy magazines with some of her favorite snacks? Maternity shirt?

    I would have loved a nice robe for nursing, or just that was big enough for my fat butt while pregnant!

    Maybe some homemade baked goods. Muffins, cookies, banana bread, brownies, etc.

    I agree with not getting anything baby related. I would even shy away from anything pregnancy related because if, heaven forbid, anything happened, she wouldn't want to look at that anymore. I think a little spa treatment or something specifically to take care of her would be great. Or like roxpink mentioned... food is always nice :) Especially when pregnant.

    I 3rd the spa gift card! Maybe find one that offers prenatal massages? Than she can use it for that, or frankly, whatever she wants! It's pregnancy related without actually being pregnancy related!

    I love the spa gift card idea, but you could also do the robe and fuzzy socks kind of thing. Something to keep her comfortable. And maybe group them with some great moisturizer and maybe a "themed" nail polish, like Essie's Cute As A Button.
