Pregnancy Starter Kit & Prep -

I want to make sure to cover all the bases for everything you might want to know in order to prep yourself for becoming pregnant. There are items for a starter kit and advice from morning sickness to beauty products, food, and ingredients.
I would advise that you collect these items BEFORE you are pregnant because even with Amazon Prime, 2 days is a long time to wait when you are experiencing morning sickness. I of course did not do that when I needed it, and so… I purchased Amazon Prime.

Preggie Pop Drops
Vitamin B6 (THIS IS A MUST!)

Prenatal Vitamins (start taking them when you are trying to get pregnant)
- I used Nature Made prenatal vitamins during my pregnancy
- I’m tempted to try these for my next pregnancy – Solimo Prenatal Vitamins & DHA
Pregnancy Test Strips (I bought in bulk because, I didn’t want to spend $10 on average for 2 pregnancy test. So when I got a positive result on the test strip, I bought one pregnancy test and then confirmed with my doctor.)

Morning Sickness

Get enough sleep, there is a direct connection between not enough sleep and morning sickness.
Always have snacks such as saltines and small snacks with high protein.
If there is a smell that makes you nauseous then discretely hold your breathe. Emphasis on discretely.
Take B6 every night at bedtime. This was helpful.
Never let your stomach get empty. NEVER!
Potato Chips (salt helps with nausea.)
ALWAYS take prenatal vitamins with food.
Pressure points for your wrist, may help with nausea (These are not very stylish, but I used them. Not entirely sure how much they helped – Sea-Band Mama)

Beauty Products

Start looking at your face and body products and try to eliminate using ones that have harmful ingredients such as… Retinol (anti-aging), Tetracycline, Phthalates, and several more. These ingredients are commonly found in face serums, moisturizers, self-tanners, hair removal creams, nail polish, and hair dyes.
