1. 2-in-1 Musical Mobile Gymini. This play mat is loved my the parenting experts who have tested it because of its size, design and quality. It is not just an ordinaty play mat with toys, because it comes with musical sound like the ocean waves and other melodies, and it also displays lights. The play mat has been designed by therapist that’s why it is so good for the baby.

3. Fast Table Chair. This is a portable chair clip that can be carried around especially when the parents are on the go. It easily clips on various types of tables, whether tables in your parent’s house when you visit grandma, it also essily clips on restaurant tables when dining out or picnic tables when you’re out with family and friends for a dry picnic. It is easy to pack, super comfy and durable. It comes in different colors and it has pockets for holding bibs and other small baby items.

4. Baby Stroller Organizer. When you are out for a walk you need more space or pockets to hold essential items for the baby. Often, strollers do not have much pockets.

Pregnancy is one thing, but childbirth is another thing, and post pregnancy is another level. First time mom-to-be doesn’t know what to expect, and therefore everything is going to be a surprise and a new road to thread. She’ll need a lot of emotional support on top of all the support she’ll need preparing the essentials for her and her baby.

If you are planning for a baby shower gift, I say go beyond the gift registry if you can afford to. Gift her something aside from what’s on her registry and aside from baby related or pregnancy or mommyhood related items.

First time moms need to feel loved and cared for, they need to know and feel the support of their family and friends. So yes, gift her baby crib or strollers if you can afford them or gift her something like diapers, baby wipes and other essentials that she’ll need plenty of. You can even gift her pregnancy and post pregnancy items like maternity dresses, nursing bras, comfy sleepwear and the likes.

But on top of all those material things that are indeed essential, she will need emotional support. First time mom, even those who are already moms go thru certain level of stress and psychological and emotional difficulty during and after pregnancy.

Baby shower on the other hand is just a couple of hours of party, just a moment of showing love and support to the mom-to-be. But, when the party is over, reality kicks in. What she need is consistency, atleast. Here are some ideas to help your mom-to-be friend get thru the challenges of her journey to mommyhood:

1. Organize a night out or dinner with the girls. You can either book a fancy restaurant or prepare dinner and get together at one of the girls’ place. Do this once a week or every other week if you can manage.

2. Sleepover or pajama party where she can have some quality conversation with her friends while having fun. You can either binge watch chick flicks or sing karaoke or anything you can think of.

3. Book her for some mom-to-be counseling where she can meet expecting moms too and make new friends. She’ll feel a lot more confortable knowing there many who share the same experience.

4. Cooking lessons where she can learn how to prepare baby foods and also food for expecting moms and after pregnancy – a diet that can keep her nourished and healthy.

5. Fitness session for expecting moms and/or especially post pregnancy to help her get back in shape

These are just some ideas you and the mom-to-be’s girlfriends can do for her. Now more than ever, she needs her friends around. Because although pregnancy affects the dad-to-be, it really takes more toll on the mom-to-be. Hence, she’ll need her friends and families’ support and understanding.
