10 Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Pregnant Wife

The fact that your wife is growing a tiny version of the both of you is reason enough to pamper and spoil her. After all, it’s no secret that being pregnant isn’t as magical as Beyonce’s pregnancy photos imply.

While she might be getting showered with expectant mother gifts and you with expectant father gifts throughout the pregnancy, however, Valentine’s Day gives you an opportunity to remind your life-giving goddess that she’s loved, cherished, and cared for by you. This Valentine’s Day, help your wife feel like the queen she is with these 10 thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas for pregnant wives.

Gifts to Make Her Feel Pampered

As your wife’s uterus expands to support your growing baby, her center of gravity shifts and her abdominal muscles stretch. These changes can place extra strain on her back, causing uncomfortable lower back pain on top of the pain she’s likely feeling as her legs, hips, and feet carry more weight than they’re accustomed to.

Basically, a pregnant woman is in a state of constant weightlifting—talk about gains!

With that in mind, you can offer your pregnant mama these Valentine’s gifts to help her body enjoy some serious love and relaxation.

#1 Prenatal Massage

Treating your wife to a prenatal massage is an effective way to alleviate her pregnancy aches and pains, as well as reduce her stress levels. Research shows that prenatal massages:

• Reduce anxiety and depression
• Increase blood circulation to decrease swelling in joints
• Relieve muscle tension and pain
• Improve labor outcomes by reducing levels of cortisol (the hormone associated with stress) and increasing levels of dopamine and serotonin (the hormones associated with regulating mood)

If you want to surprise your wife with this luxurious Valentine’s day gift idea, be sure to schedule her pregnancy massage with a certified prenatal massage therapist. Unlike traditional massage therapists, prenatal therapists have been specially trained to understand how to address pregnancy needs, position pregnant women safely during a massage, and prevent strain on uterine ligaments.

#2 Neck and Back Massager Pillow

The soothing relief of a prenatal massage doesn’t have to end if you invest in a personal massager your wife can use in the comfort of your home. Check out the Naipo Back and Neck Massage pillow, which provides deep tissue kneading for the neck and back, as well as the shoulders and feet. It’s ergonomically designed to contour to your wife’s body and even heats up to further relax those tense, baby-carrying muscles.

It works so well, you may want to buy two.

#3 Spa Day

For the ultimate Valentine’s Day luxury, surprise your wife with a spa day package. Not only can she book herself a prenatal massage, but she can also take advantage of other relaxing, pregnancy-appropriate spa services such as:

• Facials
• Manicures
• Pedicures

Just be sure she avoids any treatments that can raise her core body temperature, as excess heat and sweating can decrease blood flow and oxygen to the baby.

Spa services to avoid include:

• Body wraps
• Saunas
• Hot baths and Jacuzzis

#4 At-Home Spa Day

You know what they say—there’s no place like home. If your wife doesn’t feel like putting on a bra and leaving the house, you can bring the spa to her with an at-home spa day experience.

To transform your bathroom into a relaxing oasis, consider purchasing:

• A bathtub caddy – This Luxury Bathtub Caddy Tray includes a waterproof book or tablet holder, a slot for your wife’s Valentine’s Day mocktail, and plenty of space for her special bath accessories (you know, her bowl of ice cream and her bag of salt and vinegar chips).
• Pregnancy bath flakes – Pink Stork Pregnancy Flakes are made with 100% natural sea salt from the Dead Sea and packed with magnesium, which can reduce stress, improve sleep, increase blood circulation, and relieve muscle aches and pains.
• Bath bombs – Check out the LifeAround2Angels Bath Bomb Gift Set, which includes 12 different handmade bath bombs. LifeAround2Angels only uses natural ingredients in their products, so these bath bombs are safe for both Mom and baby. Plus, they come in scents like vanilla, strawberry, and coconut to leave your wife feeling as though she’s been whisked away to a tropical island.

Coupled with flower petals and greenery, these colorful bath bombs also set the scene for a dreamy bathtub photoshoot.

After her bath, continue your wife’s at-home spa treatment by massaging her with essential oils and painting her toenails (they’re a little harder for her to reach these days).

Gifts to Make Her Feel Glowy

Your pregnant wife is growing and glowing—literally. While doctors aren’t sure what specifically causes the famous pregnancy glow, research suggests it may be due to increased hormone levels (which cause the skin to produce more oil) and increased blood flow (which causes the face to appear brighter and fuller).

However, when she’s also dealing with those not-so-glowy pregnancy symptoms—such as morning sickness, heartburn, indigestion, and constipation—your wife may not exactly feel like the most radiant woman on the planet. Fortunately, with the following Valentine’s Day gifts, you can change that.

#5 Maternity Photoshoot

Nothing boosts a woman’s confidence quite like getting dolled up for a glamorous photoshoot. This unique Valentine’s Day gift idea not only celebrates your wife and the powerful goddess she is, but it also honors the newest love of both of your lives—your baby.

The photoshoot can even be Valentine’s Day themed, incorporating:

• Heart-shaped balloons
• Heart-shaped garland
• Roses or rose pedals
• A rose-covered flower crown
• Red or pink gowns (for mom to wear)
• Red or pink drapery (for decor)

#6 Date Night

You can’t go wrong when you treat your lady to a classic Valentine’s Day dinner at a five-star restaurant. But if that’s not your style, consider taking her to a restaurant you frequented when you were first dating to reminisce in the nostalgia of those early, pre-baby years.

Other fun date night activities include:

• Seeing a movie (at a theater, or at a drive-in)
• Going bowling
• Playing mini golf
• Catching a live show (such as a musical performance or a comedy show)

#7 Maternity Lingerie

Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to spice things up a bit. With maternity lingerie, your wife can feel sexy, powerful, and a little spicy. Check out this Free Spirit Floral Embroidery Night Slip from Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie line. Its satin-tie front closure and flowy mesh fabric make it comfy to wear at any stage of pregnancy, as well as after your little one is born.

Your wife can lounge in her lingerie as you pamper her with massages and chocolate, or she can show it off in a sexy maternity photoshoot. No matter what she chooses, both of you are bound to enjoy it. (Insert winking emoji here).

Gifts to Make Her Feel Like a Queen

Your wife is the queen of your heart, and queens are accustomed to a life filled with luxury, jewelry, and being waited on hand and foot. To help your pregnant wife channel her inner queen this Valentine’s Day, consider spoiling her with some of the following royal-worthy Valentine’s Day gifts.

#8 Harmony Ball Necklace

Harmony ball necklaces, also known as angel callers, are pendants traditionally worn by pregnant women in Bali and Mexico. These long necklaces feature a sphere that rests over Mom’s baby bump. Inside the sphere is a small ball that chimes whenever the necklace moves.

During pregnancy, this gentle chiming is thought to bring calmness to the wearer, as well as to her growing baby. After pregnancy, the necklace is shortened so that it can rest along the breastbone and comfort her baby as she rocks him, swings him, and breastfeeds him.

Explore The Harmony Ball Company or Etsy for a beautiful selection of harmony ball necklaces in a variety of colors, metals, and designs.

#9 Custom Coupons

This unique valentines day gift for your pregnant wife is not only adorable—it’s also incredibly useful. Essentially, you create coupons for special treats and gifts that your wife can redeem whenever she wants (that means both before and after your baby is born).

Some of our favorite custom coupon ideas include:

• A coupon for one craving outing – Chicken wings? Pizza? Chicken wings on pizza? With this coupon, your wife can satisfy whatever she’s craving that day.

• A coupon for one morning of sleeping in – With this coupon, you’re on baby duty, while Mom’s on snooze duty.
• A coupon for one poopy diaper pass – Best used in case of emergency (i.e. a diaper blowout).

You can create your own coupons with construction paper and colored markers, or print out premade templates from Etsy.

#10 Cleaning Service

Your queen doesn’t have time to clean. She’s far too busy growing baby fingers and toes (and trying to figure out where she put the tv remote this time). Plus, all the bending, crouching, and scrubbing that cleaning entails can be hard on her already achy joints.

Instead, give your wife the royal treatment by hiring a cleaning service. You can even schedule the service to come during a time she’ll be out of the house. That way, when she returns home, she’ll be greeted with immaculate carpets, clear windows, and fresh sheets.

Alternatively, you can surprise your wife by cleaning the house yourself this Valentine’s Day (and again the following week, and the week after that, and the week after that).
