Some of our most significant celebrations are when we find out a close friend, spouse, or family member is expecting especially if it’s been a long journey to parenthood for them. So of course we want to shower them with the best gifts and sweetest stocking stuffers for an expectant mother we can find.
If you’re hunting for stocking stuffers for new parents and ideas for moms I’ve got you covered with something for everyone. And if you need too, use these gift ideas for birthdays and Mother’s Day too!
Stocking Stuffers For Expectant Mother
Rock The Bump Body Butter- A good stocking stuffer for pregnant women is body butter to help hydrate and nourish mama’s growing belly. It’s made with shea butter, vitamin E, and avocado oil and moisturizes for 24 hours.
It is made without petrolatum, or parabens, and is fragrance-free.
Mama Glow On Body Oil- Help the soon-to-be mom feel pampered with Glow on body oil for a nice after-shower glow.
- Unscented and organic.
- Made with avocado, coconut, and jojoba seed oil.
Kindle- A device to add to your hospital bag! If you prefer to read or listen to some audiobooks while waiting for your new bundle to arrive the Kindle is the perfect stocking stuffer for expectant mothers and parents.
This is considering mom is not in active labor and doesn’t have an epidural. Otherwise, both mom and dad have work to do! 🙂

Grow With Me Underwear- A simple idea to fold and place into the expectant mother’s stocking are these Grow With Me Maternity & Postpartum Briefs. They’re super stretchy to accommodate a growing belly and you can wear them postpartum.

Swell Relief Duo- I haven’t met a pregnant woman yet that didn’t at least have a small amount of swelling during her pregnancy. Compression socks are great to help decrease swelling.
The Hatch duo comes with compression socks and soothing cream. Made with aloe, chamomile, ginger, and a few other ingredients.
Sleep Mask- It can get difficult as the pregnancy goes further along to get a good night’s sleep. Help the mother-to-be get a decent night’s sleep with a sleep mask and later she can use it while in the hospital.
100% silk.
Vanilla Vibes Perfume- One of my favorite perfumes is Juliette Has A Gun with its vanilla tones and light scent it’s ideal for a pregnant mama who wants to smell and look good without it being too overwhelming.
If you’re looking for something for your spouse 0.25 ounces is the perfect size for a stocking stuffer for your pregnant wife.

Heartbeat Necklace- A beautiful sentimental first-trimester stocking stuffer idea is a heartbeat necklace. Ask the expecting mom for a copy of the first ultrasound image with the sound waves of the heartbeat.

Milk & Honey Bath Soak- Soak the discomforts of pregnancy away!
Simply add a quarter cup to warm running bath water and enjoy! It’s made with lavender and eucalyptus oil.
Billie Razor- At some point, shaving becomes a challenge, am I right? It’s difficult to see and bend over! As our belly grows, we spend time trying to figure out how to tie our shoes and how we’re going to shave.
The razor comes with a magnetic holder that you can place in the shower so it’s there when you need it.
