1. A (supportive and flattering) nursing tank
Ripe’s Ultimate Nursing Tank certainly lives up to its name. It features nursing hook closures for easy nursing access, built in bra for added support and padding for complete coverage (and to catch those leaks!). This top is so flattering that she will never want to take it off – layer it or wear it on its own! These tanks are a bit of a splurge at $70, but well worth every dollar! Just trust us.

2. Maternity leggings
There's a reason why maternity leggings usually tops most women's "maternity must-have" lists! Every pregnant woman should own a pair of over the belly leggings - actually, maybe a couple to ensure there's a clean pair while the other is in the wash!
The JoJo Maman Bébé Maternity Support Leggings feature a high waist that stays put and are ultra stretchy and comfortable. These leggings are a bit sheen, which makes them ideal for wearing with long tunics or under dresses. At $35 a pair, they would make the perfect stocking stuffer! (buy them here)
3. Substance Belly Jelly
When it comes to preventing stretch marks, everyone seems to have an opinion: “try oil treatments”, “lather your belly in coconut oil”, “use shea butter”.... and the list goes on. While the jury is still out on what actually prevents stretch marks (all signs seem to point to it being hereditary… sorry ladies!), the fact that women in their second trimester often get symptoms of “itchy belly” and very dry skin is something that can’t be debated (especially during Canadian winters!).
One product that promises to make a pregnant woman's stretching belly feel better is Substance’s Belly Jelly. All Substance products are made in Toronto from all natural ingredients, leaving no room for worries about whether or not they are safe for mom and baby! And once the little one arrives, the belly jelly can be used as a restorative skin toner, an intensive moisturizer, or even a soothing massage balm for baby! Only $19! (buy it here)
