Even if being pregnant isn't always a pleasure, for me it's been one of the most beautiful experiences. With the help of other mothers, we've put together a top 10 list of products that could help make your pregnancy more enjoyable and minimise its inconvenience.

1. Being pregnant is to throw up

In the first few months, you may find yourself face-to-face with the toilet more often than with your partner. But don't worry! The nausea generally disappears after three months. The second and third thirds of pregnancy are often much more pleasant. In the meantime, the bucket is your best friend.

2. Shared punishment halved

Don't forget that you're not alone in your pregnancy. Your partner is just as concerned as you are. And we know that his belly is growing at the same time as yours. "Shared pain halves" is totally justified. Don't grumble about his little tummy, he'll need a lot of patience with you over the next few months and these little reserves will come in very handy. Perhaps this little book will help him to understand you better.

3. Good sleep is worth its weight in gold

To keep you going throughout the 9, or rather 10 months, we recommend using a breastfeeding pillow to sleep on. The cushion supports you from the start in the different positions. A pregnancy belt or support belt gives you extra support in addition to the breastfeeding cushion.

4. Small belly, cover up

No, walking around with your tummy showing is definitely not advisable when you're pregnant! And believe me, no one wants to see that. So cover it up and give the little being the warmth it needs. Today's jackets not only give you enough room for your tummy, but are designed to be used with a top-up. So your baby will have plenty of room under your jacket, even after it's born.

5. Minimise the damage

During pregnancy, the body is faced with extreme conditions: the skin tightens, the breasts grow, the pelvis becomes wider, the feet and hands swell, etc. So it's vital to look after your body's well-being. Various measures can help you prevent changes such as a perineal tear, stretch marks, etc.

6. Music stimulates development

Classical, pop or rock? Scientists have apparently discovered that babies remember the music they heard during pregnancy. It's thought to calm and promote development. Well, we'll start with the good old bola and leave you free rein to choose your child's future musical tastes.

7. No more shopping queen

It's no secret: a baby, or more accurately baby gear, is expensive. Unfortunately, there's not much left over for your own wardrobe. But all you (future) mums: there are stylish changing bags that you can use as a handbag or as a backpack before using it as a changing bag.

8. So close and yet so far

Certainly, the baby is well looked after in mum's tummy, but if he doesn't move often, it can be a little worrying for the parents. Is he still alive? With the AngelSounds Fetal Doppler you can listen to your baby's heartbeat, kicks and hiccups from as early as the 12th week of your pregnancy. So you can let everyone share in your happiness.

9. Getting around safely despite your tummy

In an accident, adults are often thrown forward with a force of 3 to 5 tonnes. As many belts pass over the stomach, the baby is subjected to enormous pressure. To remove this from the infant, special belts are available for pregnant women.

10. I'm about to explode... and where are my feet?!

When your belly gets huge and you can't see your feet, everything is a pain. Not just having to go to the shower or get up from the sofa, love life is harder too. To keep your partner in a good mood when you don't feel like it, can't or aren't allowed to, we've got a little accomplice for them.

I wish you a happy end to your pregnancy. If you get bored, pop into our online shop: we've got thousands of things you can use for your baby.
