A pregnant woman deserves a gift even if there are no other holidays during pregnancy. However, given that the “interesting situation” lasts three quarters of a year, at least one of the corporate list will certainly fall into this period - a birthday, New Year or March 8th. As a rule, the very fact of pregnancy has a very strong effect on what is given to a girl, therefore it is worthwhile to figure out the possible presentation options.

Best useful options

Despite the fact that pregnancy for most women is a desirable and very joyful event, this condition nevertheless causes many inconveniences. A girl who is ready to provide replenishment in the family will now have much less free time, and she also desperately needs increased comfort, because gifts for pregnant women are often practical. Consider the items most often given to wives, daughters, sisters, and girlfriends.

  • Kitchen appliances. Now it will be necessary to cook food much more often - both the mother herself and the child need to eat regularly. The food should be healthy, and the diet balanced, so you can't get off with the day before yesterday's soup. Plus, a few months after the baby is born, he will need his own freshly prepared food, so all those multicooker, blender, juicer and yogurt maker will come in handy.

Thanks to such equipment, the cooking process will become automated, and the freed up time can be spent on yourself, and a little later - on the child.

  • Robot vacuum cleaner. Another very useful assistant that can take on all the hardships of cleaning.Considering that children will soon appear in the house, who are traditionally very prone to allergies to literally everything, perfect cleanliness in the house will not hurt, besides, young mothers are also more prone to allergic reactions.
  • Washing machine with delicate function... Most modern households already have such equipment, but if for some reason they still haven't bought it, it's time to think about it. Such a unit will provide you with constantly clean clothes, while washing small and fragile items very carefully.
  • Sling. Such a newfangled surprise is a shoulder strap that allows you to always keep your baby with you, while leaving your hands free. Active mothers will surely like such a present, because now they can go to the store and walk without a stroller, and even do minor chores without leaving the child unattended.

At the same time, we will not blindly praise such a solution, but we will be adequate - not all experts consider this option useful both for the child himself and for his mother.

  • Books about motherhood. There is no such person who from the very birth would know absolutely everything. Knowledge about how to properly care for a child, what to prepare for, how to develop and educate him correctly, does not come out of nowhere. If a pregnant woman is preparing to give birth for the first time and has never watched the care of young children with her own eyes, many things may come as a surprise to her.

The trial and error method has not been canceled, but, of course, it is better to do without mistakes, and the experience of previous generations will greatly help in this.

  • Money. In many cases, this gift is considered trivial and, as it were, shows that the donor simply did not rack his brains and spend time choosing a present, but for a pregnant woman, cash is a very practical thing that will be appreciated. A young family preparing for the birth of their first child often turns out to be very constrained in finances, therefore any external injections will be received with enthusiasm.

Original gifts

Each person has a different concept of the originality of presents, but in the case of pregnant women, you can choose several unusual solutions that are suitable for the situation, and cannot at all be considered a hackneyed option. Let's look at a few of these ideas.

For example, one of the most exciting moments for a mother-to-be is watching the baby in the womb - you can see it on an ultrasound scan, and sometimes you can even listen to the heartbeat. At home, you won't be able to see the fruit, but enterprising manufacturers have released on the market a unit that allows you to track the heartbeat of an unborn baby. For a pregnant woman, this is an option for feedback from a child, because she can talk to him, but the reaction is tracked only in the form of movements.

If a mother knows about medicine, such a decision will also help her monitor the health of the fetus. Interestingly, the gadget can even be connected to a computer to record the heartbeat.

There is another unit called Babykick. It monitors your baby's movement activity - usually starting around 24 weeks of age. As in the case of a device for listening to the heartbeat, such a gadget with an abundance of stored information can give a lot of useful information to the doctor leading a pregnancy, because the patient herself will be happy to monitor the baby at home.

With such a device, it is also very easy to identify patterns in the motor activity of the fetus, which means that you can quickly notice any changes in behavior.

A rather original solution is the Belly Art set. While someone leaves a memory of themselves in the form of footprints or handprints, a pregnant mother with the help of such a gift will be able to make a plaster cast of her own abdomen.

To be honest, such a gift is for an amateur, but those who appreciate unusual works of art and would gladly decorate their home with an arthouse sculpture may like this option.

Memories of pregnancy in general are often a reason for nostalgia in women, many of them perceive this state as a symbol of femininity itself and are proud of it. For this reason, photos taken in an interesting position are sure to be some of our favorites.

Modern technologies have practically killed professional photographers, but in this case it is better to turn to them, since such specialists, and even in a duet with a make-up artist, will make a truly beautiful photo session that will delight the eye for many decades to come. As a gift you can give a certificate for visiting such a photo session.

Selection Tips

Regardless of who you are giving the gift to, you always want the person being gifted to be happy with the present, so you need to give something that the person wants, or that he definitely would not hurt. You can always give something at your own discretion, but be prepared for the fact that due to the increased hormonal background, pregnant women are often very capricious and are not always inclined to hide their emotions.

For this reason, it makes sense to conduct at least a minimal preliminary reconnaissance - you can carefully ask what the young family lacks, and what they will definitely not buy in the near future.

Finding a good gift for a pregnant woman is also difficult because her current state is temporary, and often your present is either not useful soon, or is useful now, but may become unnecessary in a couple of months. Of course, in such a situation, it is better to focus on things, the need for which will not disappear. In this regard, it seems very practical any gifts like a transformer - for example, there is even a jacket of such a cut, which will always be a mother's figure, even after childbirth.

Please note that any items you give a pregnant woman must be of high quality in terms of environmental friendliness of materials. Unfortunately, these days, too many products are made from low-quality plastic or painted with low-quality paints and varnishes.

Consumers buy such products, considering such a purchase to be profitable because of its low price, but the health of an ordinary adult, which, by the way, may also suffer, is one thing, and quite another for a pregnant mother and her very fragile baby.

Given the increased propensity for allergies, any gift for a pregnant woman should be not only environmentally friendly, but also hypoallergenic.

While a woman is just in an interesting position, she may suddenly have quite a lot of free time. This happens if maternity leave began quite early, and a caring husband does not allow him to intensively load the body with physical exercises, at least in the form of minor household chores. In such a situation, a pregnant woman may simply get bored, because any kind of entertainment may not be the worst gift for her, be it a book of any direction or pleasant relaxing music.

Among other things, such gifts are also good in that they distract from bad emotions, allow you to relax more productively and tune in to a positive mood, unless, of course, the donor thought of giving something dark.

Finally, many of the fair sex, already in the first months of pregnancy, are nervous because they are not sure of their ability to return to a normal figure after childbirth. In this case, a good gift option may be special cosmetics for pregnant women, there are even special creams for stretch marks. A set of such tools can be quite expensive, and the family has other important expenses, so give a whole basket. By doing this, you will restore the girl's self-confidence, and the future dad will appreciate the practical present.

What is better not to give?

When choosing a good gift, it is important to focus not only on ideal solutions, you should immediately figure out what is definitely not suitable. For example, handing over the same kitchen appliances, you need to do it in such a way as to greatly simplify your daily chores; if the gift is a hint that it is time to take responsibility for household chores, it can only infuriate you. It is especially tactless to hand over such presents to your husband, because the same slow cooker or blender is good, but a frying pan is already bad.

When choosing a gift, start not only from the usual habits and preferences of the person being gifted, but also from her current situation. Let's imagine for a second that before pregnancy the girl considered herself a fashionista and was very fond of evening dresses, now such a birthday present will only upset her.

Indeed, in position, she simply will not fit into such clothes, after giving birth she will not have time for parties for a long time, which means that it will be possible to really put on such a gift only after about a year and a half, and even then, if she can return to her original form ...

Few will be delighted with a present, which can be used only in the distant future, so this is an obvious mistake in terms of choice.

Perfume and eau de toilette should be given very carefully in any case, and giving them to a pregnant woman is fraught with a lot of trouble. Firstly, if you do not know the person being gifted perfectly, you may simply not guess with the aroma, because each person has his own tastes and a special idea of ​​the ideal image. Secondly, the girl's increased susceptibility to pungent odors often makes pregnant women use perfume less intensively.

Sweets are considered another popular gift that is not suitable for the role of the main, but is often present in the role of the secondary.... Most girls can be considered a sweet tooth and will refuse to abuse such products, except because they cherish a slender figure.

It is good if the only consequence is additional difficulties when returning to its former form after childbirth, however, overweight can adversely affect the health of the baby, therefore it is better not to tempt the expectant mother with such food once again.

Maternity pillow and nursing pillow are great gifts. But all separately. It is still more convenient to feed on a special pillow designed for this. It was fastened at the waist, and that was all. She supports her back, frees her hands. The baby lies flat against the chest.
