15 Things You Need Before Baby Arrives (But May Not Have Realized)

Married couple quarreling at home. Wife emotionally screaming, shouting at husband, drama queen nagging, angry man looking away. Misunderstanding break up, problems and trouble in relationship concept

When you’re pregnant, especially for the first time, it can be overwhelming to figure out precisely what the baby needs when they get here. As a result, you’re probably focusing most of your time and attention on purchasing and collecting items for your bundle of joy.

But don’t forget about yourself, mama! Your 4th trimester will be one of the most significant transformational periods of your life — emotionally and physically! Like baby, you need (and deserve) a few things to help you in this stage. Here’s our list of 15 things you wouldn’t think to get yourself before the baby arrives but absolutely need.

Something that you will so appreciate after having a baby is quick, easy, and filling meals. Sure, you can get frozen pizza from the grocery store. It’s fine. But if you want to elevate a quick freezer meal and enjoy something really special at home, check out Talia di Napoli Pizza. They deliver frozen Neapolitan pizzas that are *chef’s kiss* delicious. Several packages are available, but we love The Taste of Talia pack (pictured here), which contains two margaritas, two mozzarellas, one provolina, one rossa, one tartufina, and one four cheese pizza. If you like it, you can get regular deliveries via a subscription!

Eating healthy before you have a baby can be challenging, but devoting time and attention to well-balanced meals and snacks is far more difficult after you bring home your baby. The good news is that you can be prepared with easy, grab-and-go options like these RX Bars, available in many flavors, including this awesome variety pack with Chocolate Sea Salt, Coconut Chocolate, and Blueberry. This is our Editor-in-Cheif’s go-to healthy snack!
