Gifts pregnant women want

Hi ladies,

Ok, this is my 1st pregnancy and it's Christmas time. My family keeps hounding me on what I would like, present wise. I don't have anything that I need for my pregnancy and I don't really have any idea what I need/want. I'm talking cream to help with stretch marks, belly bands, body pillows, etc. What products did/do you have that are amazing for pregnancy. Please mention even seemingly obvious stuff. This pregnant lady needs some help!

Thanks!

    Pregnancy massage. I got one every week and it saved me. I just used a body pillow and an oil infusion for my skin when it got itchy.

    Pregnancy pillow! Something that will make you feel good a little later. I felt like a disgusting whale at the end; after getting a spa trip, I felt so much better.

    I second the pregnancy pillow. I did without it last time around, but this time I have repeatedly told my family I want one. Also, @ThePax89 is right, old Navy has some awesome maternity clothes. A pregnancy journal is nice to kind of jot down your week to week stuff. I'm glad I did it with my first so I can go back and see what I was experiencing last time.

    I agree with all of the above - pregnancy pillow is amazing, prenatal massages are fabulous and yes gift cards to old navy, gap or if you like online I loved pinkblushmaternity.com for maternity clothes and target had cute ones too! Mani and pedi's are a must too when you get the big belly it's nice to feel pretty and pampered with pretty toes! I loved the palmers coco oil and got it on amazon :)

    Yep Yep on the pillow!  I also agree being due in the summer my feet were incredibly dry so pedicures would be nice!  I also agree that I loved Old Navy maternity clothes.  Maybe something baby related?

    Extra strength Tylenol;
    Tums; 
    leggings (the maternity kind) ;
    socks with those grippy things on the bottoms (I know you get them from the hospital but those suck); 
    a bath robe (like, a long one);
    nipple pads (I started leaking at 6 months);
    tea with honey (helped with body aches);

    If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. I know it's not exciting stuff but trust me, you will appreciate them towards the mid-->end of of your pregnancy.

    Oh yeah, and of course, the body pillow :)
