The Prenatal Gifts I’d Give Again (and Again), by Sam of Bird&Be and Mom of Three

I’m a mom of three, and my path to building a family wasn’t straightforward or predictable. Those experiences now shape the work I do at Bird&Be, where we support people through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum with evidence-based care. I’ve lived this phase from multiple angles—which is why the gifts I’m sharing here are the ones I’d truly give again and again.

  • Bird&Be Gentle Prenatal Gummies: Because getting all your essential nutrients in a way that goes down easy…especially with queasy mornings, is a huge win!
  • Chiyo Prenatal Nurture Program: When you’re growing a tiny human, food isn’t just fuel — it’s an act of full-body care and support. Easy, nutrient-dense meals make nourishment effortless on the days nausea, fatigue, or time get in the way. Plus you can purchase, and they schedule on a timeline that's most helpful for them.
  • Ginger Nausea Tea (ex Earth Mama): Ginger is such a gentle, comforting go-to when your stomach is feeling off—perfect for those early weeks or anytime you need a calm sip.
  • The Food Doula Cookbook: This cookbook makes healthy, nourishing food feel easy, delicious and joyful, even if you’re juggling cravings, aversions, or low energy.
  • Three Ships Off-Duty Eye Masks (Pregnancy-safe): Sleep can feel like a luxury in pregnancy. These masks help cue your body into rest mode and offer a small, soothing self-care moment
  • Bird&Be Calcium Magnesium + Vitamin D Boost:  Calcium is essential for baby’s growing bones and teeth, and if you’re not getting enough, your body will pull from your own stores. While many people can meet needs through foods like yogurt, fortified plant milks, tofu, kale, or chia seeds, a Calcium Magnesium + Vitamin D Boost can be a really helpful addition if hitting those levels feels hard. I love this as extra support for bone health, muscle function, and sleep during pregnancy.
  • Mara Beauty Flower Acid SerumA gentle, pregnancy-safe serum that helps smooth and brighten skin, perfect for supporting that pregnancy glow, even when hormones have other plans!
