What makes the perfect Christmas gift for your pregnant wife or girlfriend?
Of course, as the owner of First Peek Ultrasound, the leading 3D ultrasound center in the Chicago area, I am biased by the overwhelming satisfaction I see everyday when pregnant women see and bond with their baby. So I would say that a gift certificate for a 3D/4D ultrasound at your local 3D ultrasound studio would be the ideal gift for your pregnant wife or girlfriend this year for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or winter solstice.
Another great gift for a pregnant woman is to pamper her with a one-hour pregnancy massage. In case you are not certified yourself in massage therapy or prenatal massage, you can now get a prenatal massage at our pregnancy spa located within our studio.
Other great Christmas gifts for pregnant women:
- Rocking chair
Believe it or not, rocking chairs are not just for grandmothers. As pregnant women progress through their pregnancy, they have an increasing desire for a comfortable place to sit. And the rocking chair continues to be useful even after the baby is born as it makes a perfect place to breastfeed your baby. Where can you get a good rocking chair? From personal experience, the best way is to shop for a rocking chair off-line. Yes, actually go to a physical store, such as Baby’s R Us so she can try out different rocking chairs.
- Maternity clothes
As her husband/boyfriend, you are in the unique position to know what would look good on her. While she may have already bought a lot of maternity clothes with one thing in mind–what will be the most comfortable, you can buy something specially catered to what would look great on her. This can include maternity jeans, maternity sleepwear, maternity lingerie, and other maternity dresses. Not all maternity clothes have to be large, pink, and baggy. A sleek fitted black dress that stretches as the belly grows makes for a great gift.
- Pregnancy pillow
Give your pregnant loved one the gift she craves–sleep! The pregnancy pillow helps with back pain and helps her find the right position so she can sleep. Also, she will probably continue to use the pillow after the baby is born as a place for nursing, a rest area, and a play area for the newborn baby.
