HERE'S WHAT I ACTUALLY USE + LOVE:
This is where I keep all my favorite things—tried, tested, and actually helpful for pregnancy, postpartum, and mom life in general. From the yoga props I reach for every day to the books, baby gear, and body care I swear by, it’s all right here.
Some of these are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them (at no extra cost to you!). I only share what I genuinely use and love because I know how hard it can be to find good stuff!
birth prep
Affirmation Cards for Pregnancy & Labor
Besides the ones I've made for you inside Preparing for Birth, I absolutely love this set of affirmation cards for pregnancy and labor. They're beautifully illustrated, not cheesy, and good enough quality to pass from pregnant friend to pregnant friend to spread the love. They also make a great gift!
Positive Birth Stories
Even though it's homebirth-leaning, this book has tons of helpful birth stories and great advice from an experienced midwife.
Trimester-Specific Prenatal Yoga
This book guides you trimester by trimester in understanding your body and preparing for birth. I love the trimester-specific yoga flows inside!
baby wearing
Best All-Around Baby Carrier
The Sakura Bloom scout is great for newborns up through 45 lbs (which is literally a 4- or 5- or even 6-year-old). I teach you how to wear it and all the ins + outs of baby wearing in my Carry with Confidence program. Join the brand's buy/sell/trade Facebook group here to find one for cheap!
Best Baby Carrier for Newborns
I'm sorry, but this lightweight fabric beats Moby and Boba every time!! This thing folds up TINY and is super lightweight and easy to throw in a suitcase. Use code SARAHJOALMO for 10% off
Best Baby Carrier for Back Carrying & Toddlers
When baby gets heavy, back carrying makes the magic happen! I love Sakura Bloom's onbuhimo for this. I teach you how to wear it and all the ins + outs of baby wearing in my Carry with Confidence program. Join the brand's buy/sell/trade Facebook group here to find one for cheap!
mom life
Cooling Pajamas for Night Sweats
Cool enough for summer, warm enough for winter, and somehow they magically regulate your body temp. These pajamas are no match for postpartum night sweats!
All-Around Best Leggings
While technically not maternity leggings, I've worn these through all three pregnancies. They stretchy like none others I've tried!! And they've lasted 10+ years for me (even with accidentally throwing them in the dryer a handful of times). Truly worth the investment.
Cotton Lounge & Nursing Bra
Technically this is a nursing bra, but I wear it well past the nursing phase!
Comfortable Lounge Bra, Great for Nursing
I love this thing for pregnancy (I gave birth in this bra!), for fluctuating sizes postpartum, and for nursing.
Chocolate with Protein
You know you should be eating more protein, right? Well, now you can do it even when you're sneaking chocolate after dinner, thanks to Midday Squares. Tap the photo above for 15% off through my link.
Compact Affordable Strollers
I love this company's affordability, style, and all-around great quality. They're a mom-owned company who truly cares about YOU/us and I'm so happy to be able to offer you $15 off a stroller through my link (tap the photo to automatically apply).
yoga
Lightweight Yoga Mat for Travel
This thing folds up TINY and is super lightweight and easy to throw in a suitcase. Use code SARAHJOALMO for 10% off
Best Sticky Yoga Mat
This is the exact mat I use almost daily! I have one for my rooftop videos and one I keep (clean!) in my living room.
Best Eco-Friendly yoga Blocks
All-natural with just the right amount of weight to use in a variety of ways, I LOVE these yoga blocks!
