When I was pregnant, L'Occitane offered this product with lavender oil. They now make a cream with shea butter and lavender, but I don't know how well it works. I tried many kinds of creams on my expanding belly and this was the only one I liked.

This helps during those last months of pregnancy when you are so full of baby that you aren't sure where your belly ends anymore. I loved mine so much that I STILL sleep with it. Get a couple of covers, too.

Get one in white and one in black. You can stay in your pre-pregnancy pants longer, and get back into them sooner.

I used XXXL t-shirts to sleep in. Why buy expensive maternity nightgowns? Bonus: if you get sleeveless ones, you can use them for nighttime nursing with a sleep bra as the sleeve holes are large enough to pull aside

I know this is a list for moms, but get this for your guy. It breaks the process down in a way a man can understand.
