Finding out about your friend’s pregnancy is one of the best news you’ll ever hear. Once the excitement has died down and the congratulations have been said, however, it’s time to explore a new element of your friendship and be there for her in whatever capacity you can be.

Sometimes, small tokens of love and thoughtfulness portray what words cannot. Here are a few things you can gift your pregnant friend to show you care.

Maternity Pajamas

A pair of warm, soft, and cozy pajamas can really help expecting moms feel comfortable during their pregnancy. What sets maternity pajamas apart from your regular PJs is that they come with an elastic waistband to make it even easier for mothers-to-be. Instead of fidgeting with the drawstrings or having to tug the pajamas, they can simply slip these on and instantly feel more comfortable.

Pair the pajamas with a two-layer for a complete step. These pajamas will help your pregnancy and will also be their friend during the early days of motherhood. After all, there’s no better feeling than sliding into a pair of soft, comfy PJs!

A Body Pillow

Joint aches and stiffness are common during pregnancy. As the baby bump gets bigger, women are likely to experience backaches and muscle soreness, especially in the third trimester. These can result in restless nights, and crankiness and tiredness during the day.

Your friend will definitely appreciate a body pillow she can rest her arms, legs, or baby bump on. It’ll prevent her from sitting or lying in uncomfortable positions, helping her rest in a more relaxed state.

Comfortable Slippers or Shoes

One of the lesser-known body changes to take place during pregnancy is that of the changing size of women’s feet. In fact, research has shown that not only do women’s feet enlarge during pregnancy, but that the change may (permanently) persist after childbirth as well.

Whether your friend experiences enlarged feet during her pregnancy or faces swelling at the toes, she needs comfortable footwear. You can gift a pair of slightly loose fuzzy slippers that can accommodate her changing feet size. Alternatively, you can also buy adjustable sandals or shoes that allow expansion. Your friend may not be able to put on her favorite pair of heels, but she’ll definitely love the new, more comfortable footwear.
