Product Spotlight: 1st tri-essentials

mrosek91 · July 2023

Happy Monday! I thought I would get us started with our Product Spotlight series, my plan is steal the schedule and prompts from my A19 board as the woman who ran the product spotlight back then was amazing, but if anyone has any input, I'm happy to hear it.

To get started let's open up discussion of what products helped or are helping survive the first trimester!

Got a great product for queasiness? A nice brand of soft underclothing that don't irritate sore boobs? Those glasses with eyeballs painted on them so no one can catch you napping at work? Please share!

I've created a spreadsheet here, where I'll keep track of the schedule, and link to old posts, so anyone can go back and reference them when they're ready to actually shop or register. If you don't see a topic you think we should cover let me know.

This isn't 1st trimester specific, but I want to recommend Momma Strong as a workout program that has really helped me through multiple pregnancies/postpartums/life in general. I've never been someone who enjoyed exercising, so forcing myself to get movement in has always been a struggle. Momma Strong focuses on functional movement and helping you deal with pain, using 15 minute daily workouts, plus a ton of shorter 5 minute workouts and longer "fix mes" that deal with problem areas/pain. There are programs specifically created for pregnant people, postpartum and beyond. The leaders are relatable and real, and there are tons of modifications to make exercises easier (or harder) so you can make it work for your body. Lots of body positivity, with a focus on just getting some movement in everyday. Plus a nice community to offer support and answer questions.

@hedgepig I found MommaStrong in May of 2019 when I was pregnant with my third, and absolutely love it. Definitely second the recommendation!
