A friend of mine who is a diligent birth control user just found out she is pregnant (I guess that's why they say it is only 99% effective). Although it came as a shock, she is handling the news well and excitedly getting ready for her new arrival. Since this was so unexpected and I am sure she is terrified, I would like to do a little something extra to show my support for her (obviously she already knows she has it), by putting together a series of gift baskets with stuff to help her get through her pregnancy comfortably and in style. Of course I will be getting stuff for the baby too, but I want these baskets to be treats just for her. Does anyone have any recommendations for clothing boutiques (online or otherwise), lotions, specialty foods, etc. or anything else that they really enjoyed/helped them during their pregnancy? If it helps at all, my friend is smaller and in her early 20s. I would like to find clothing that is age appropriate and that she would be comfortable wearing. She is also very body conscious, so stretch mark lotions and pregnancy workout tape recommendations would be great as well.

That is so sweet of you! Don't jump into clothing stuff just yet, your not sure how big she'll get. I am 35 weeks pregnant, and someday you can't even tell. As far as lotions, get her some stretch mark lotion. It is sold at Walmart and Motherhood Maternity. Foods, "preggie-pops" they sell those online or at babiesrus. The help with the nausea the first 3 months or so. My fiance bought me a pregnancy work out DVD and I love it. There are a lot of choices. Since you friend just found out, I recommend get her this set of DVDs that has four disks, one for each of the trimesters and one for post-pregnancy. I hope everything goes well!!
