Let Wayfinder Physical Therapy Guide you to getting the most amazing gift for the pregnant woman on your list this year!


As a pelvic floor physical therapist working with pregnant and postpartum mamas all around Charleston SC, I see firsthand how the right tools can make a world of difference for mamas-to-be. So, I've put together a curated guide of gifts that go beyond the usual onesies and bibs. These picks are designed to pamper, support, and empower pregnant women throughout their incredible journey, from bump to birth and beyond. From cozy essentials that ease aches and pains to clever gadgets that make life simpler, this guide is packed with ideas to show your pregnant pals just how much you care. Prepare to celebrate their strength, resilience, and, of course, their growing miracle! Let's dive in!

Pregnancy Pillow Set


A comfortable night of sleep may be the best gift you could give! As baby gets bigger it can be difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position. Stomach sleeping is obviously not an option, and starting at week 16 you should avoid sleeping on your back since the weight of your growing baby can put too much pressure on the blood vessels supplying blood to mom. This pregnancy pillow can help support the belly bump to make side sleeping truly relaxing!




Perineal Massage Tool


Beginning around week 32 of pregnancy, daily perineal massage is helpful to reduce the risk of tearing with birth and prepare for the experience of crowning. This helpful tool can make those hard-to-reach areas easier to access! A pelvic floor physical therapist - like Wayfinder PT - can show the best form and technique to make the most of this tool and reduce the risk of tears with birth!





Pregnancy Support Belt




Growing belly getting heavy? Give the gift of support! A pregnancy support belt helps distribute baby's weight, easing aches and pains in the back and hips. It's a comfy hug that lets mom-to-be stay active and feel confident throughout her journey.




A Squatty Potty



Everyone and their mother should keep one of these at every commode in the house. These platforms help to improve the rectal angle and relax the pelvic floor to improve bowel movements. In pregnant women this can help to reduce the likelihood of developing hemorrhoids.
