50 Best Gifts for Pregnant Women

Pregnancy is a special time in every woman's life. Regardless if it's her first (or third) child, it's a time of preparation and reflection, and to feel and be treated like a goddess. That's the fantasy, at least. But women who've experienced it know that it isn't always picture perfect, and you'll need good friends, a supportive family and a lot of products to get you through.

When it comes to the latter, there are so many maternity items out there, it's hard to tell what's really worth the money and which actually work. That's why we've consulted the parenting experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute, our senior parenting editor and a bunch of moms who have lived through every trimester to find the best gifts for pregnant women. A common theme is that the best things to give, whether you need something for a baby shower or are looking for a new-mom gift, are thoughtful, practical and will help smooth out her journey.

Below, you'll find everything she needs, at every price point. And don't forget, while a present during this time is nice, be sure to check in on her often with a phone call or text!
